Top SEO Company in South Africa

If a digital marketing agency guarantees first-page rankings, you should stay away and steer clear. A reputable SEO company like Beetge Media can simply not guarantee Google rankings of any kind. We will be honest when saying SEO is about 80% experience and knowledge, the other 20% is a guestimate.

Google offers guidelines about some aspects of what they’re looking for when ranking sites but is frustratingly vague about other parts of their search algorithm. Be sure to choose the best SEO company based on your research and due diligence.

Off-page SEO refers to optimizing for elements outside of your site. This can include backlinks or social media marketing, guest blogging, influencer marketing and brand mentions. Off-page optimization focuses on actions taken outside of your own website to impact your rankings within search engine results pages.

Unlike social media (Facebook, Instagram etc.) and other popular marketing channels, SEO does not work instantly. As a top SEO agency, we can expect to see results in as low as 3 months, but SEO can take as much as 12 months to work. While the strategy of most SEO companies differs, you can expect to see considerable results in 6 to 12 months.

SEO takes so long because there are several factors involved to get results – website layout and the sitemap, domain authority, keyword difficulty, competition, inbound links, and content. It also takes time for search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing to recognize your SEO implementations and compare your content to other websites that are competing for the same focus keywords and in the same market and audience.

SEO is not like Google AdWords. SEO requires ongoing optimization because Google’s algorithm is always changing, meaning, what’s working today in SEO may not work tomorrow.

If you stop SEO, your rankings may hold their position or slowly drop. If you however start SEO and then stop during the first 3 months, chances are you will drop in rankings. Rankings only hold if you have been doing SEO for a long period of time and have earned Google’s trust.

Web hosting has a significant impact on the technical SEO part, right from hosting a website to integrating the SSL. Hence, ensure you choose the best web hosting available. Google wants to deliver the best possible results and user experience, so faster websites, with improved UX, enjoy better rankings.

Slow site loading times can be caused by multiple factors. However, if your website is optimised and you still have high loading times that don’t meet best practices, you might want to check your hosting. If you’re on shared hosting, you could be experiencing slow loading times because the server is busy handling too many websites at the same time. This slowness will not only affect rankings and traffic but also conversions.
