What does good SEO involve for a South African business?
Search engine optimisation is the work of making a site easy for search engines and AI assistants to understand, and worth recommending to the people searching. In practice it combines technical health (speed, crawlability, clean structure), content that answers real questions in full, and credible signals from other sites. It compounds slowly, so expect months, not weeks, and be wary of anyone who guarantees a ranking.
- Fix technical problems before publishing more content.
- Write for the question the searcher actually has, then answer it early on the page.
- Track enquiries and revenue, not just rankings.
