87% of South African consumers research online or use AI before making a purchase. If your business isn't ranking on page one of Google or on any AI module, you're invisible to potential customers actively searching for what you sell.
We're one of the first South African agencies to integrate AI-powered SEO solutions, including optimization for Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and other AI search engines. Get your free SEO audit now and see how our custom approach can transform your online presence.
SEO stands for "Search Engine Optimization." It involves improving your website's content, technical aspects, and backlinking to improve its visibility and ranking on search engine results pages (SERPs) like Google, Bing, or Yahoo for specific keywords or phrases. SEO is like building a bridge to your audience. A solid foundation (technical SEO), clear path (on-page SEO), and support from others (backlinks) make it easy for visitors to find and trust your site.
AI SEO (also called GEO - Generative Engine Optimization or Generative Search Optimization) is the evolution of traditional SEO for the age of AI-driven queries and AI search engines. Instead of just ranking in traditional search results, AI SEO focuses on getting your content featured in AI answers, AI overviews (like Google AI Overviews), and platforms like Perplexity and Gemini. It's about making your content digestible for AI systems that summarize and synthesize information.
The Key Difference: Traditional SEO aims to rank your page so users click through to your site. AI SEO ensures your content is understood, trusted, and cited by AI systems in their responses, often without the user ever clicking. This requires optimized page layouts, structured data implementation, and technical fixes that help AI understand your content's context and authority. Think of AI SEO as teaching AI to recommend your expertise, not just your link.
Why this matters now: By 2026, 40% of searches will happen through AI assistants rather than traditional search engines. Our clients like GP Forklifts are already ranking in ChatGPT and Gemini responses, capturing leads their competitors don't even know exist.
Real impact: Our clients typically see 156% increase in Google Maps visibility and 89% more phone calls within 4 months.
What makes us different: We combine AI-powered content research with human creativity, ensuring your content ranks well while genuinely connecting with readers.
Our track record: Average domain authority increase of 23 points within 12 months for clients on our Pro and Enterprise packages.
Technical excellence: 94% of our clients see improved Core Web Vitals scores within 60 days, leading to better rankings and user experience.
E-commerce results: Our online store clients average 384% increase in organic revenue within their first year.
