SEO SERVICES

What is SEO? Essentially, Search Engine Optimization is all about making your business more visible online. When someone looks for your product or service on a platform like Google, Yahoo or Bing, these search engines have to decide which of the millions of websites out there best answer their user’s query. SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages, or what you and I see when we conduct a search online) list websites in the order the search engine decides they’re most relevant to what the user asked. The more relevant your page or website appears, the higher your ranking in results. But how does the search engine come up with these rankings? How does it decide which sites and pages deserve to rank higher up than others? The answer is pretty complex, (hence the need for dedicated SEO companies like us!) but that’s really what SEO is all about. Convincing search engines that your website, product or service is worthy of a top spot.

7 Reasons Why You Need SEO

1
Your customers rely on search engines. While it’s true that a significant amount of website traffic comes from sources like social media, the overwhelming majority comes from search engines. As a consumer yourself, it’s easy to understand this – when you have a question, you type it into a search engine. So do your customers.

2
SEO Increases Website Traffic
Creative Labs SEO will substantially improve the number of high-quality visits to your website. This not only gives you a better chance of making a sale, it’s also an opportunity to collect an email address for your mailing list, or simply create familiarity with your brand.

3
SEO Generates More Sales
The more quality visitors your website receives the more leads and essentially sales you will generate. When you’re attracting traffic that’s actively looking for what you’re selling, this makes sense! If your website provides a more informative, engaging, and user-friendly experience than your competitors, there’s a good likelihood you’ll get the sale.

4
Sustainable Results
With SEO in South Africa you are able to expect sustainable results that your company can rely on for the long term. Our SEO company focuses on continuous, ongoing growth and development – we’re interested in results that last, not quick fixes and shortcuts.

5
Your brand credibility will improve with SEO
By ranking well in Google, customers are able to identify that you are leader in your industry. Also known as the ‘Halo Effect’, unpaid visibility in SERPs is a vote of confidence from search engines that your brand can be trusted – and that you know what you’re talking about!

6
SEO outperforms paid advertising
Your competitors might have a bigger budget to throw at paid ads, but buying customers is never sustainable in the long run. Never mind the fact that once someone lands on a website by clicking on an ad, there’s no guarantee they’ll actually turn into a customer. That’s money down the digital drain.

Attracting unpaid, organic traffic by virtue of having a well-optimized website is a genuine investment – because it continues to pay off in the long run.

7.
SEO brings with it new opportunities
As new devices, smartphones and gadgets enter the market, people are starting to search for information and products in new ways. Voice, mobile and hyperlocal search are just some of these trends. If you’re the first among your competitors to adapt to these trends with our cutting-edge SEO services, you can leave them in the dust.

SEO Pricing

SEO Prices depends on various factors so its difficult for any agency to set a standard price for this service.

What Affects the Cost of SEO?
No matter who you ultimately trust to provide SEO services for your business, how much SEO ultimately costs depends on many variables, including:

The overall technical aptitude of your website and the CMS (content management system) for the content on the website. For example, Creative Labs is a leading provider of eCommerce website design, and the websites we build for our clients are designed to exceed the expectations that Google and other search engine algorithms demand. Having a technically sound site built with SEO and eCommerce best practices in mind makes it much, much easier to optimize effectively and efficiently. The majority of CMS out there significantly lacks in this area (looking at you, Magento).

Existing visibility in organic search
If you’re starting with a brand-new website with zero domain authority and no rankings to speak of, expect to pay more or wait longer for tangible results.
Existing brand awareness and exposure. See the previous point.
Business goals and objectives. That includes the role you anticipate organic traffic from search engines like Google and Bing to play while working towards those goals.

Competition
Overall competitiveness will vary depending on your industry and the set of keywords you need to target

Urgency
SEO takes time to be effective, so quicker results require more time and resources.

Target audience and demographic
Are you looking to run a national or global SEO campaign, or are you a local business operating within a confined geographical area? This may or may not affect the overall price of your SEO campaign.

Expertise level of the company providing SEO services
Those with real expertise and in-depth capabilities tend to have proven results and therefore can demand higher rates. Because they deliver proven results time and time again, they are busier, have more online companies asking for their SEO services, and their services are worth more because of the organic traffic they create.

Location of the SEO agency
Located in Durban, South Africa, Creative Labs overheads are significantly lower than SEO agencies operating in Durban which helps us keep our SEO service prices down despite our proven skills and expertise. This may be a piece of the criteria you want to consider.

Competency in your target language
While hiring a cheap SEO company based in India, for example, might sound like a great idea at first, be sure that the company you select has a firm grasp of the English language if you plan on optimizing your website for English speakers. This goes for any language. Also, consider time zones, communication, and other outside factors.

Level of expertise in your niche
For example, our specialty at Creative Labs is eCommerce SEO and lead generation SEO for B2C websites. Look for a company that has experience working in your industry, but be prepared to pay extra for that experience. Your results will be worth it.
