Improve your search visibility.

Visibility on search, earned and kept.

Why this matters

Ranking is no longer about keywords. It is about being the obvious answer.

Search has changed twice in the last three years, once when Google reweighted Core Web Vitals, and again when AI Overviews started answering questions before users ever click a result. The brands that still earn traffic are the ones with strong technical foundations, clear topical authority and content that actually deserves the page-one slot.

We do not chase vanity keywords. We start by understanding what your buyers type, what your competitors are already ranking for, and where the gap between intent and supply is widest. Then we fix the slow pages, write the content that closes the gap, and earn the citations that move authority signals.

Most clients see meaningful movement in 90 days and category-level visibility within six months. Honest, audited, reported monthly.

Our capabilities

What we actually deliver in this practice.

Each engagement is scoped against one or more of the capabilities below. Pick what you need, leave what you do not. No surprises, no hidden line items.

Capability 01

Technical SEO audits & fixes

The foundation Google still rewards and most agencies still neglect. We diagnose, prioritise by traffic impact, and ship the fixes.

  • Crawl & indexScreaming Frog audit, sitemap hygiene and robots.txt corrections, prioritised by the pages already earning sessions.
  • Site architectureURL structure, internal linking and breadcrumb work that compounds over the months following launch.
  • Core Web VitalsLCP, INP and CLS triage measured on real mobile devices on real Kenyan networks, not synthetic lab figures.
  • Schema.org coverageOrganisation, Article, FAQ, Product, Service and Course markup validated and monitored across your top pages.
Capability 02

Keyword strategy & content architecture

Map the real demand in your category before writing a single word. Works the same whether you sell software, run a school, or operate a clinic.

  • Intent researchVolume, difficulty and SERP shape per cluster, not a 5,000-line keyword dump nobody opens twice.
  • Topical clusteringPillar and supporting pages organised so internal authority flows correctly to the pages that drive enquiries.
  • Competitor gap analysisWhere your nearest five rivals rank and you do not, with a defensible plan to close the gap inside six months.
  • Content briefsOne brief per priority cluster, ready for your in-house writers or for our editorial team to produce.
Capability 03

On-page optimisation

Titles, meta, headings, body and links tuned to the intent behind the query rather than to a checklist from 2014.

  • Title & metaClick-through-rate-optimised across templates and one-off pages, with patterns documented for your editors.
  • Heading hierarchyH1 through H4 structure that mirrors buyer intent and the entity coverage Google now demands of authoritative content.
  • Internal linkingAnchor text and link-equity flow audited and rewritten where weak. We measure before and after.
  • Body contentDepth, originality and entity coverage rewritten where the SERP demands it. We do not fluff word counts.
Capability 04

Local SEO & Google Business Profile

Service-area organisations win or lose on local intent. Clinics, schools, churches, salons, repair shops and county-level businesses all live here.

  • GBP optimisationPhotos, categories, services, attributes and posting cadence, actively managed and reported monthly.
  • Review flywheelTemplated requests and reply playbooks tied to your CRM so reviews compound rather than peak and decay.
  • NAP citationsConsistent name, address and phone across the local directories your buyers and donors check first.
  • Local landing pagesOne page per branch, parish, campus or service area, optimised for 'near me' and 'in [town]' searches.
Capability 05

Content production & topical authority

Earn the ranking by deserving it. Long-form content written by people who actually understand the category.

  • Long-form articlesBuyer-intent and reader-intent pieces written by category experts, fact-checked and edited before publication.
  • Pillar pages3,000 to 5,000-word category guides that hold authority for years rather than months.
  • Editorial calendarTwo to four pieces per month, sequenced by topical cluster and seasonal demand patterns in your category.
  • Refresh cycleQuarterly updates to existing content so freshness signals stay strong without rewriting from scratch.
Capability 06

Reporting, tracking & GSC configuration

Honest numbers, in writing, every month. No vanity dashboards that hide what really happened.

  • Google Search ConsoleProperty-level setup, ownership verification and alert routing to the right inbox inside your organisation.
  • GA4 eventsReal conversion events configured with debug verification. Not pageviews dressed up as conversions.
  • Rank trackingDaily monitoring on priority terms across desktop and mobile, with weekly summaries for your team.
  • Monthly reportWhat worked, what flopped, what we are testing next. Always in writing, always ending in 'do this next.'

Common questions

Things buyers usually ask before signing.

How long before I see results?

Technical fixes show up in Core Web Vitals within a week. Ranking movement on competitive terms typically takes 60–120 days. Anyone promising you page-one in three weeks is selling something else.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No, and you should be wary of agencies that do. We guarantee the work, the audit, the fixes, the content, and we publish the numbers each month so you can decide if it is working.

Will SEO survive AI Overviews?

Search is changing, not dying. Branded and commercial-intent queries still click through at high rates. We pair SEO with GEO (the next service) for clients who want exposure on both surfaces.
