Local visibility counts how often an agency appears in the search results their own prospects would use in Cape Town, such as "seo agency Cape Town". Of the 16 rated here, 7 show up in at least three of those eight searches. A low number usually means the agency wins work by referral or ads rather than by ranking.
Sites are re-measured as the crawler comes back around to each city, so a redesign or a technical fix shows up in the score. Agencies that claim their profile can also submit corrections, which our team reviews before anything goes live.
Listing is automatic: the crawler finds agencies from public search results, so there is nothing to buy. To manage a listing, open your profile and claim it with an email on your own domain. That unlocks a dashboard with profile analytics, quote requests, editable details and an updates feed.
