Retainers in the DBN metro typically range from R8,000 to R30,000 per month depending on the channels involved and the scope of work. A single-channel engagement — SEO only, or Google Ads only — sits at the lower end; full multi-channel programmes sit higher.

Ad spend on Google or Meta is paid directly to the platforms on top of the retainer. We scope every engagement against your revenue goals, not a package menu.

Yes — the full metro and beyond: uMhlanga, Ballito, Westville, Hillcrest, Pinetown, the South Coast, and Pietermaritzburg. Local search campaigns are built suburb by suburb where that matches how your customers search.

For trade and industrial companies selling nationally from a KZN base, we structure campaigns in layers — local visibility where you are, national reach where you sell.

No. Our delivery model is remote-first — strategy calls, monthly reporting reviews, and day-to-day communication run over video and WhatsApp, which is exactly how we already serve clients across multiple SA metros.

Everything we do is visible in your dashboards and reports, so the work speaks in numbers rather than boardroom meetings.

It depends on your economics. Businesses that need enquiries this month usually start with Google Ads or Meta ads — paid channels deliver from week one. Trade and industrial companies with long sales cycles usually pair paid search with B2B pipeline work; retail and hospitality lean on paid social and WhatsApp.

SEO is the compounding layer underneath all of it — it takes months to build and then keeps lowering your blended cost per enquiry quarter after quarter.

Paid campaigns generate measurable enquiries within the first 30 days. SEO typically produces its first page-1 rankings between months five and six of consistent execution — and keeps compounding after that.

We set the expectation honestly in the audit: which channel delivers when, what it should cost per enquiry, and the point where organic starts carrying the volume.

Week one is the audit: we review your current visibility, your competitors, and how your customers search, then hand you a channel plan with projected costs per enquiry — the economics before anything is built. Weeks two and three are the build: content, campaigns, landing pages, and tracking, all QA’d before launch.

By week four everything is live and measured. You receive a plain-language report showing what was built, what it produced, and what happens next — no jargon, no padding, just the numbers and the plan.

One consolidated report each month, written in plain language: enquiries generated per channel, what each enquiry cost, which pages and campaigns produced them, and the decisions we are taking next — what gets more budget, what gets cut, and why.

Behind it sit live dashboards you can open any day of the week. Nothing is hidden in a portal you need training to read, and nothing important waits for a quarterly review to be said out loud.
