that bring in enquiries.

Technical fixes, local SEO, content and links that get KZN businesses found on Google and in AI search, focused on the enquiries search brings in.

What is included

Get found by people already looking.

SEO planned around the searches that turn into customers, and measured on enquiries, not vanity rankings.

This is for you if

Your website looks good but the phone is quiet, competitors show up above you on Google, or you cannot tell whether the SEO you are paying for is doing anything.

The Bordax website, built by Classic Fusion Media with an Insights content engine for SEOBordax: an Insights content engine built for search

Very few people searching for what you sell look past the first page of Google. SEO is how you earn a place there without paying for every click. We start with an audit and keyword research, fix what is holding your site back, then build the content and authority that move you up and keep you there. Because we build websites too, our developers fix technical problems themselves instead of sending you a list.

SEO audit

A full technical and content audit of your site: speed, indexing, structure, broken links, duplicate content and what competitors are doing better. Delivered as a prioritised fix list.

Keyword strategy

Research into the searches your customers actually use in Durban and KZN, mapped to the right page, so every page has a job.

Technical SEO

Site speed, Core Web Vitals, mobile usability, indexing, sitemaps and structured data, fixed by the developers who build our websites.

On-page optimisation

Titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal links and copy reworked, so Google and customers both understand what each page offers.

Local SEO and Google Business Profile

Your Business Profile set up and managed, the same name, address and phone everywhere, local citations and reviews, so you show up in map results near you.

Content that ranks

Service pages, location pages and articles written to fill the gaps in your search presence, published on a calendar.

Link building

Relevant links and mentions from South African websites that build your authority over time.

Who you are, what you do, where and since when, stated the same way everywhere Google and AI tools look.

Structure

Structured data

Schema markup for your business, services, reviews and FAQs, so machines read your site correctly.

Answers

Question-led content

FAQs and pages that answer the questions your customers ask, directly and early.

Questions

SEO, answered.


How long does SEO take to work?

Typically you will see early movement within two to three months and meaningful results in four to six, depending on your competition and how much the site needs fixing. SEO compounds: the work done this month keeps paying off long after it is finished.

How much does SEO cost?

It depends on the size of your site, how competitive your market is and how much content you need. We have three monthly plans, Foundation, Growth and Authority, and a once-off audit if you want a starting point first. We quote once we have looked at your site.

What is local SEO?

Local SEO gets your business into Google’s map results and near me searches in your area. It covers your Google Business Profile, consistent name, address and phone details across directories, your reviews, and location pages on your website.

Can you guarantee the first position on Google?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. Google controls the rankings. What we commit to is the work: a clear plan, the fixes and content delivered every month, and honest answers on what it achieved.

Is SEO better than Google Ads?

They do different jobs. Google Ads puts you at the top of the page today and stops when you stop paying. SEO takes longer, but keeps bringing in visitors without paying per click. Many businesses run both, with ads covering the gap while SEO builds.

Does SEO help my business show up in ChatGPT and AI search?

Yes, when it is done properly. AI tools draw on websites that state clearly who a business is, what it does and where, and that answer real questions directly. We add structured data, question-led content and AI crawler access to every SEO plan.
