Questions

SEO agencies in South Africa: common questions

How are South Africa agencies ranked here?

By the measurable SEO quality of their own websites. Every agency is fetched and scored the same way: technical setup (30%), on-page basics (28%), content depth (22%) and whether they rank for the searches their own clients would use (20%). Placement cannot be bought.

How many agencies are covered in South Africa?

156 agencies across 12 cities so far, and the crawler keeps working through the country. If yours is missing you can add it and we will research and score it within minutes.

What does an SEO agency cost in South Africa?

Every profile shows a minimum engagement and an hourly band. Figures an agency publishes are marked Published; everything else is our estimate for a firm of that size in that city and is marked Estimated. Treat estimates as a starting range, never a quote.

Can an agency pay to rank higher in this directory?

No. There is no paid placement, no sponsored slots and no way to submit your own score. The only way up the ranking is to fix the website, which is the same advice these agencies sell.
