Upstream Creatives

SEO for South African companies that want qualified traffic, not a mystery retainer.

We run search engine optimisation against the terms that create work in this market — including the messy mix of English queries, local intent and pages that were never written for search in the first place.

Local context

National SEO in South Africa is competitive on commercial terms and neglected on useful supporting content. We pick the fights that can be won with the site you have, then improve the site.

Reporting has to talk about enquiries, not only average position. If tracking is missing, that is the first job.

Retainers start from R1 300 per month and scale with keyword scope and competition. We will not pretend a tiny budget can outrank a national chain next month.

Proof

  • 400+ keywords ranked across 2024 search work.
  • Technical, on-page and content work in the same studio that built the website — fewer “the other vendor must fix that” loops.
  • SEO and Google Ads can be planned together when both are needed.
