How much does SEO cost a month in South Africa?
Most small-business SEO retainers in South Africa cost R3 000 to R15 000 a month, more for national or very competitive searches. Be careful below about R2 000 a month: at that price the work is usually automated, and cheap link-building can get a site penalised by Google.
Why does Telos cost a little more than the cheapest monthly plans?
Many R300-a-month websites are templates with your name on them, and some cannot be moved to another provider. Ours is designed around your business and shown to you before you pay. From the Grow plan, every enquiry is answered in seconds and you see what the site brings in. And after 12 months the website is yours.
