South Africa SEO, PPC & website pricing
SEO Management Costs in South Africa
See our South African starting prices for SEO, AEO, GEO, PPC management, authority and backlink work, landing pages and website design. These are guide prices rather than fixed packages; the final quote depends on what your website actually needs.
First-month scope offer
SEO management starts from R5,000/month.
Start the first month at a 50% discount. That gives us time to work inside your website, discover what it actually needs and understand the full scope of the work.
Then you get the real quote. At the end of month one, we show you what we found, what we recommend doing next and what the ongoing SEO management will actually cost. You decide whether you want to continue.
What SEO management connects
The price only makes sense once the work behind it is visible.
Month one helps us see whether the constraint is technical, on-page, content, local relevance, authority or several of them at once.
SEO pricing table
SEO, AEO and GEO pricing for South Africa.
Core SEO covers the technical, content and search-intent work that helps people find and use the site. AEO and GEO build on that foundation for answer engines, AI Overviews and generative search. Authority and backlink campaigns cost more because quality outreach, research, editorial assets and relationship building require considerably more specialist time.

R1,250/month
For one primary profile with Maps visibility, service alignment, profile optimisation and local relevance work.
Technical SEO audit
R2,250 once-off

On-page SEO sprint
R2,500/project

R3,750/month
AI-search visibility work around entities, citations, corroboration, content architecture and generative discovery.
Authority & backlink campaign
R17,500/month
The premium SEO line: research-led outreach, editorial assets, digital PR, prospect qualification and quality control.
AEO + GEO
AI visibility is an extension of SEO, not a replacement for it.
Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) makes your answers easier for search engines and AI systems to identify and use by improving page structure, entities, FAQs, supporting evidence and concise answer sections.
Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) strengthens the signals that help generative search understand who your business is, what it does and what evidence supports its expertise.
Neither service guarantees that a particular AI system will mention your business. The goal is to make your information clearer, better supported and easier for search and AI systems to understand.
PPC pricing table

What affects the quote
Starting prices give you a benchmark. The website determines the final quote.
The final price depends on page count, technical problems, competition, integrations, content, locations, tracking and the amount of authority work required. We would rather inspect the real website and quote the work it needs than force every business into the same package.
- The 50% first-month offer applies to the starting SEO management rate only; it does not discount every service on this page.
- PPC media spend is excluded from management fees.
- Website copy, photography, premium software and third-party integrations are quoted when required.
- Backlink and authority work never includes a ranking guarantee or a promise that a particular publisher will accept an outreach pitch.
- Third-party publication or sponsorship fees, where genuinely required and approved, are quoted separately.
- All prices are starting points and remain subject to a written quote.
Pricing FAQs
What to know before you ask for a quote.
Why is the first month of SEO 50% cheaper?
Because we do not want to guess your long-term fee before we have worked inside the website. Month one lets us find the technical problems, content gaps, competitive pressure and implementation workload. We then give you the proper ongoing quote based on what we actually found.
Is AEO or GEO included in normal SEO?
Basic answer clarity and machine-readable structure can form part of broader SEO. Dedicated AEO or GEO work is priced separately when the project needs deeper entity work, answer architecture, AI-search research or off-site corroboration.
Why is backlink work the most expensive SEO service?
Because legitimate authority building is labour intensive. Research, prospect qualification, outreach, editorial assets, follow-up and quality control take considerably more time than changing metadata or fixing an internal link.
Can you quote a fixed monthly amount immediately?
Yes. SEO management starts from R5,000/month, but that is a starting point rather than an automatic month-two price. Month one is 50% off while we establish the scope. We then give you the ongoing quote before you decide whether to continue.
