01 — What we do
Marketing services built to move revenue
Six disciplines, one growth system. We run them together so your search, paid and social channels compound instead of competing for the same budget.
01
SEO in Cape Town
Technical fixes, local landing pages and content that rank you for the searches your buyers in Cape Town and the Western Cape actually type. Google Business Profile optimisation included.
02
Google Ads
Search, Performance Max and remarketing built around profit per click. Tight negative lists, honest budgets, no spend on traffic that will never buy.
03
Paid social
Meta and TikTok campaigns with creative made for the feed, tested weekly and scaled on the numbers rather than the hunch.
04
Web design & development
Fast, mobile-first WordPress sites that pass Core Web Vitals and are structured so every page has a job in the funnel.
05
Content & creative
Photo, video and copy shot in and around Cape Town, cut for every placement you need — from a six second hook to a 1 500 word ranking article.
06
Social media management
Always-on content, community replies and monthly reporting. Your brand stays visible while you run the business.
02 — How we work
Four steps from first call to compounding growth
01
Audit & discovery
We pull your analytics, ad accounts and rankings apart and tell you exactly where the leaks are. Free, before you commit to anything.
02
Strategy & forecast
A written plan with channels, budget split and a realistic 90 day forecast. You approve it before a cent is spent.
03
Build & launch
Tracking, landing pages, creative and campaigns go live together, so we can attribute every lead from day one.
04
Scale & report
Monthly reporting on leads, cost per lead and revenue. What works gets more budget, what does not gets cut.

04 — About us
Local expertise, international standards
Cape Town Marketing was built for owners who were tired of agencies that reported on impressions instead of income. We are small on purpose: the person who plans your strategy is the person who runs it, and you can reach them.
We know this market. What ranks for a Sea Point restaurant is not what ranks for a Paarl manufacturer, and we price and plan accordingly.
- Strategy tailored to your industry, not a template
- Proven results across hospitality, trades, retail and services
- One senior contact from the first call onward
05 — Why us
Why Western Cape businesses stay with us
Revenue, not vanity metrics
Every report opens with leads, cost per lead and revenue. Reach and impressions come after, if at all.
Senior people on your account
No handover to a junior after the pitch. The strategist who wins your trust does the work.
Built on the local market
Years of Cape Town search and social data behind every keyword, audience and budget decision.
No lock-in contracts
Month to month. We keep the account by performing, which is how it should work.

08 — Questions
Straight answers before you call
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call. It is free and there is no obligation afterwards.
Most Cape Town businesses we work with invest between R6 000 and R25 000 a month across management and ad spend, depending on the channels and how competitive the search terms are. We will tell you on the first call what your goal realistically costs before you commit.
Local SEO usually shows movement in map and search rankings within 8 to 12 weeks, with meaningful lead volume from month four onward. Competitive national terms take longer. Google Ads can generate leads within days, which is why we often run both.
Yes. We work across the whole Western Cape – Durbanville, Bellville, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Somerset West, the Overberg and the Garden Route – and remotely with clients elsewhere in South Africa.
No. Retainers run month to month after an initial 90 day period, which is the minimum honest window to judge whether a strategy is working.
You do, always. Accounts are opened in your name and you keep full admin access, the data and the creative if we ever part ways.
Thirty minutes. We look at your current visibility, name the two or three changes that would move the needle fastest, and tell you whether we are the right fit. No slide deck, no pressure.
