Local SEO for Johannesburg Businesses
A structured monthly programme at R2,500 per month that improves how clearly your business appears in local search — with a three-month initial commitment and an honest monthly report.
What local SEO actually means here
When someone in Johannesburg searches for a service, Google mostly answers with a map result and a small set of nearby businesses. Getting into that set depends on a handful of unglamorous things: whether your Google Business Profile is complete and correctly categorised, whether your business name, address and phone number are consistent everywhere, whether your pages actually describe the services and areas you serve, and whether your site is technically sound enough to be crawled and understood.
Local SEO Foundation is the monthly work that keeps those things improving. It is not a campaign that buys visibility, and it is not a ranking promise — it is steady maintenance and improvement of the signals that decide local relevance.

Google Business Profile
For most local businesses this is the highest-leverage asset. We optimise categories, services, description, hours, service areas and photos, and keep the information in step with your website.
Search Console monitoring
We track which queries bring people to your site, which pages get impressions without clicks, and where technical issues appear — then act on it in the following month's work.
Reviews, done properly
We provide guidance and templates for asking real customers for reviews at the right moment. We never write, buy or fabricate reviews.
Realistic timelines, and what we don't promise
Month one is mostly diagnostic and corrective: the audit, Google Business Profile clean-up, keyword research and fixing the clearest technical and on-page problems. Months two and three move into page-level improvement — titles, meta descriptions, internal links, and one substantial page improvement or new optimised page each month.
Meaningful movement in local search usually takes a few months of consistent work, which is why there is a three-month initial commitment. Beyond that it continues monthly and is paid in advance.
We do not guarantee a ranking position, a traffic number or a volume of enquiries, and we would treat any agency that does with suspicion. What we do commit to is stated scope, work you can inspect, and a monthly report covering what was done, what changed and what comes next.
If Eleviq built your website, Website Care may be included in Local SEO Foundation instead of charging a second monthly fee.
