More questions we get asked

How much does SEO cost per month in South Africa?

Small local campaigns commonly start around R3,000 per month; growth campaigns for established businesses are often R8,500 per month or more; national, competitive or e-commerce campaigns are quoted individually.

Why do SEO prices vary so much?

Price depends on competition, website size, how much content and technical work is needed, and whether link building is included. Very cheap packages usually cut corners.

What is included in an SEO package?

Typically an audit, keyword mapping, on-page and technical fixes, content improvements, local SEO, link building (on larger packages) and monthly reporting. Each of our packages lists exactly what's included.

Is there a once-off SEO option?

Yes. A once-off SEO audit or technical cleanup suits businesses that want fixes without a monthly retainer.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

We recommend at least six months because SEO takes time to show results, but ask about terms when you request a quote.

Is cheap SEO worth it?

Rarely. Packages far below market rates often rely on automated or spammy links that can harm your site. Ask exactly what work is done each month.

FAQ

SEO packages & pricing questions

Straight answers about SEO cost in South Africa.

Most SEO packages range from around R3,000 to R15,000 per month depending on site size, competition and scope. Larger or highly competitive sites are usually quoted custom.

A technical health review, keyword-to-page mapping, on-page fixes, content or link work, and monthly reporting — scope varies by package tier.

Yes. Larger, multi-location or highly competitive websites are usually better served by a custom quote scoped to an audit rather than a fixed package.

Price reflects the hours of technical, content and strategy work involved, plus how competitive your market is — not just the number of keywords targeted.
