§ 04 · Method
How we ranked these agencies
We start from every SEO agency in Durban with a public Google Business Profile and a website, then keep the 87 with at least 3 reviews.
Each rating is pulled toward the average for all agencies in our data until it has enough reviews to stand on its own. That stops a perfect score from a handful of reviews outranking a slightly lower score from hundreds. Ties go to the agency with more reviews.
No agency can pay for a position. Read the full methodology.
§ 05 · Budget
What an SEO agency costs
An SEO agency grows unpaid traffic from Google through technical fixes, content and links, and should report on rankings, organic traffic and the enquiries that traffic produces.
SEO is usually billed as a monthly retainer, sometimes with a once-off audit up front. Pricing depends on the size of the site, how competitive the searches are, and how much content and link building is included.
Results take months rather than weeks, so ask what will be delivered each month rather than paying for promises about rankings.
§ 06 · Before you sign
Questions to ask an SEO agency
- 01Which searches will you target first, and how did you choose them?
- 02How many pages or articles are included each month, and who writes them?
- 03How do you build links, and can I see examples?
- 04Who will actually work on my account day to day, and how senior are they?
- 05Can you show results for a business like mine, with the numbers behind them?
- 06What does the monthly report contain, and which metric do you treat as success?
- 07What is included in the fee, and what is billed separately?
- 08What is the minimum contract term, and what is the notice period?
- 09If we part ways, what do I keep: accounts, data, creative and logins?
§ 07 · FAQ
SEO agencies in Durban: common questions
Which is the best SEO agency in Durban?
The Webster ranks first among SEO agencies in Durban, with a 5.0-star Google rating from 134 reviews. We rank agencies by a review-weighted rating, so a high rating needs a meaningful number of reviews behind it to come out on top.
Which SEO agency in Durban has the most Google reviews?
The Webster has the most Google reviews of the SEO agencies we ranked in Durban: 134 reviews, with an average of 5.0 stars.
How many SEO agencies are there in Durban?
We found 87 SEO agencies in Durban with a Google Business Profile and a website. 87 of them have at least 3 Google reviews, which is the minimum to be ranked.
How much does an SEO agency in Durban cost?
SEO is usually billed as a monthly retainer, sometimes with a once-off audit up front. Pricing depends on the size of the site, how competitive the searches are, and how much content and link building is included. Results take months rather than weeks, so ask what will be delivered each month rather than paying for promises about rankings.
How do I choose an SEO agency in Durban?
Shortlist three agencies from this ranking, check that their reviews mention the work you need, and ask each the same questions about who does the work, what the fee includes and what you keep if you leave. Compare written proposals on the same scope before you sign.
How is this ranking calculated?
Each agency's Google rating is weighted by its number of reviews using a Bayesian average, so a 5.0 from three reviews does not beat a 4.8 from a hundred. Agencies need at least 3 reviews to be ranked. Nobody can pay for a position.
