How our SEO service grows your revenue
Built for how Kenyans actually search
Mobile-first users, location-led queries, and a mix of English and Swahili phrasing make Kenyan search behaviour different from the US playbooks most agencies copy. We research the terms your customers really use, county by county where it matters, and build pages that match the intent behind them rather than the keyword alone.
Foundations that also earn AI citations
Google and AI engines reward many of the same things: a fast site, clean structure, pages that answer a question clearly, and consistent information about your business across the web. Our SEO work is planned so that every fix for Google is also a step toward being cited by ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. One investment, two channels.
what you get
What is included in our SEO services
Every engagement begins with a full technical and content audit and a written plan with priorities and timelines. From there the work falls into four streams, each reported on monthly.
Technical SEO
Site speed and Core Web Vitals, crawlability and indexing, clean URL structure, redirects, schema markup and mobile performance on Kenyan networks. We fix what stops search engines from reading and trusting your site before we do anything else.
Local SEO
Google Business Profile setup and optimisation, reviews strategy, local citations and location pages for Nairobi and the counties you serve, so you win the map pack when someone searches nearby.
Content and topic clusters
Keyword research, a content plan built around the questions your buyers ask, and pages structured so you own a whole category rather than scattered keywords. Written to read well for people and to be quotable by AI engines.
On-page and reporting
Titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal links and intent matching across the site, plus a monthly report that connects rankings and traffic to enquiries and revenue in plain language.
Creating Success
What makes our SEO effective
Ranked our own properties first
We have taken our own sites to the top of competitive results before selling the method. You get a tested playbook, not a theory.
No vanity metrics
We report rankings, but we judge success by enquiries, calls and sales. If traffic grows and leads do not, we change the plan.
Direct access to the specialist
You work with the person doing the work, not an account manager relaying messages. Questions get answered the same day.
We are gathering client testimonials for this service. In the meantime, ask us for references.

Why SEO still matters in the age of AI search
68%
of US Google searches ended without a click in early 2026, so ranking alone is no longer enough (SparkToro, 2026)
58%
drop in clicks to the top result when an AI Overview appears, which makes being the cited source matter more (Ahrefs, 2026)

FAQ
FAQs about SEO services in Kenya
Common questions from Kenyan businesses about search engine optimisation. Not answered here? Book a free audit and ask.
Technical fixes and local SEO can move within weeks. Competitive keyword rankings usually take three to six months to build and keep compounding after that. We set realistic timelines at the audit stage and report monthly.
It depends on the size of your site, how competitive your market is and how fast you want to move. We scope every engagement after the audit and give you a fixed monthly figure with no lock-in beyond the agreed period.
No honest agency can. We guarantee the work, the reporting and the transparency. Our track record on our own properties and client sites is what we ask you to judge us on.
Yes, and it usually should. Ads bring traffic immediately while organic visibility builds, and the search data from ads sharpens the SEO plan. We run both for many clients.
