SEO Retainer Packages & Pricing

In short, yes.

If your customers are searching on Google for your product and service, your website needs to be in the top 3.

If you’re not, your competitors are picking on all the new customers and sales.

Once-off SEO can be good for existing websites that are already receiving a decent amount of organic traffic from Google.

For sites with zero organic traffic, a once-off SEO package will have minimal impact on rankings.

Think of SEO as going to the gym.

If you go to the gym once, you won’t have a lasting impact on your fitness.

There are very few guarantees in SEO, but one guarantee I can give, is that once-off SEO won’t get you to the first page.

You can’t go for a 2km jog once and expect to win the Comrades Marathon the next week.

If SEO makes sense for your business, you want to make sure you are doing monthly SEO. If you are not keeping up with the competition, they will overtake you, and take away business from you.

Our monthly SEO campaigns have a recipe. Much like a good potjie (or a stew) has a recipe. You know all the ingredients that will go into the potjie.

You know the order in which the ingredients will be added, and you have a good when you will add each ingredient.

Even as you make your potjie, you taste as you go along, making some adjustments (adding a pinch of salt, or perhaps some more veggies).

Your SEO campaign includes anything that is required:

• content creation, on-page optimization, off-page optimization, keyword research, conversion rate optimization, conversion tracking, site speed optimization, image compression, and any number of other tasks.

Remember that Google considers 600 factors when ranking websites. Your website needs to score well in each of those categories.

And to top it off, Google also changes their algorithm from time to time. Your SEO company should stay on top of these changes, so they can adjust the potjie on the go (no one likes burnt potjiekos!).

Short answer, yes.

Will you get the best results?

Perhaps not.

While these platforms have made improvements to their SEO capabilities over the last few years, they do have some limitations.

Winning at SEO is almost like taking part in a car race.

You wouldn’t show up with your Toyota at a race where all the other okes are driving Ferrari’s and Porsche’s.

So, pop us a message, and let us check out your competitors to see what platforms they are using. If the competitors are doing well with Wix/Shopify/Squarespace sites, then you stand a chance.

If they all have Wordpress websites, it might be worthwhile to first upgrade your ‘car’ before you enter the race.

Custom built websites can vary wildly from one site to another.

We have come across custom built websites that had a solid SEO foundation, which was easy to improve upon.

And we have come across some nightmare custom built websites, where there was ZERO thought given to SEO.

If you have a custom website, it is best to start with a consultation so we can do some digging.

Your SEO retainer is on a month-to-month basis.

You can cancel at anytime.

Just like a new gym routine, it is recommended to give your SEO campaign a 6 month period to show some serious gains, and you won’t look back.

It really comes down to how aggresive you want to be, and can afford to be.

The Basic package is more of a maintenance package where growth is slow and steady.

With the Pro package we spend more time on your SEO campaign, and the growth happens faster than the Basic plan.

With the Pro Plus we spend even more time on your campaign than the Pro plan.

Your choice if plan will also be influenced by how strong your competitor’s SEO is. If you are a small local brand, you can choose Basic or Pro. If you are a national brand, you should choose between the Pro and Pro Plus.

How long is a piece of string?

This question really depends on what keywords you targeting.

If you want to rank one page 1 for ‘best chinese restaurant in moreleta park’, you probably don’t have a dozen competitors. Getting on page 1 will be very simple.

If you want to rank page 1 for ‘best chinese restaurant in south africa’, you will be up for a tougher challenge.

Your website is most likely on page 2 or page 3 for some of your keywords already. Those could reach page 1 pretty soon.

Other keywords might be on page 10 or page 12 when we start, they will take a little longer to get there.

Each of the keywords you target, is like a road race where you compete against other websites. Some of these “races” are easy to win because the copmetitors aren’t very fit, while other races can be really tough and might require a lot of “training” to win.
