Why choose JWD for SEO in South Africa

We are a Cape Town based web design and SEO company that has been helping South African businesses get found online since 2013. Unlike agencies that only do SEO, we build the websites too, which means we understand the technical foundations that search rankings depend on. When we optimise your site, we are not working around someone else's code. We built it, we know it, and we know how to make it perform.

We will never promise you the number one spot on Google, because no honest SEO company can guarantee that. What we will do is fix the real problems, build a solid foundation, and keep working on it consistently so your rankings have a genuine chance to improve and hold. If you want straight talk and measurable work rather than vague reports, we are a good fit.

What we do instead is fix the real problems, build a solid foundation, and work on your site consistently so your rankings have a genuine chance to improve and hold. We prefer straight talk and measurable work over vague promises.
How does your SEO process work? +
It runs in three steps. First we audit your site, running a full technical and content audit to find what is holding your rankings back.

Do I have to pay monthly, or can I get a once-off SEO fix? +
You can do either. If your rankings have dropped or your site has never had proper SEO attention, SEO Rescue is a once-off three-hour session at R2,500 to diagnose and fix the key issues. If you want rankings to keep climbing over time, Monthly SEO Maintenance at R850 per month gives you ongoing on-page and off-page work, roughly one to two hours each month.
