What makes us different
Google Partner certified. Local market knowledge. Transparent monthly reporting. No lock-in contracts.
We know that “attorney Pretoria East” and “lawyer Waterkloof” are different searchers with different intent. We understand the Tshwane business landscape from government-adjacent services in Arcadia to the competitive retail environment around Menlyn Park and Brooklyn Mall. Local intelligence drives better keyword strategies, better content, and ultimately better rankings for Pretoria businesses.
Juicy Designs is a Google Partner a certification that requires demonstrating product expertise, campaign performance standards, and ongoing client spend. This means we have direct access to Google account support, early access to new search features, and verified expertise that most Pretoria SEO agencies cannot claim. Our Google Partner status validates our work. Average organic traffic increase: 64% within 6 months.

Every monthly report covers keyword rankings, organic traffic, backlinks, technical health, and content published in plain English. You know exactly what we did, what moved, and what we’re doing next. If something isn’t working, we say so. Cobus van der Westhuizen personally reviews client reports before they go out.
