What is SEO?

SEO in one paragraph

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the practice of making your website the answer Google wants to show when someone searches for what you sell. When your pages are technically sound, genuinely useful and trusted, Google ranks them higher, and you earn a steady stream of customers without paying for every click.

The three pillars of SEO

Every ranking website gets three things right:

• Technical, a fast, secure, mobile-friendly site Google can crawl and understand.
• Content, pages that actually answer what your customers are searching for.
• Authority, reviews, listings and links from other sites that prove you're legitimate.

Why SEO is worth it in South Africa

Most South African buying journeys start on Google, for a plumber in Parow, a dentist in Durbanville or an accountant in Sandton. Unlike ads, SEO compounds: the work done this month keeps bringing customers for months and years. For local businesses, ranking in the map pack and organic results is often the single highest-return marketing you can do.
