Each gets a Scout Score out of 100. Up to 70 points come from client satisfaction: the Google rating, pulled toward the average for all agencies until enough reviews back it up, so a perfect score from a handful of reviews can’t outrank a slightly lower one from hundreds. Up to 10 points reward review volume. The last 20 points are evidence of SEO work: a dedicated service page, case studies with measurable results, and relevant partner status or awards. Evidence an agency publishes about itself counts half; evidence we verify against an independent source counts in full. Ties go to the agency with more reviews. No agency can pay for a position. [Read the full methodology](https://www.agencyscout.co.za/methodology.md). ## 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. ## Questions to ask an SEO agency 1. Which searches will you target first, and how did you choose them? 2. How many pages or articles are included each month, and who writes them? 3. How do you build links, and can I see examples? 4. Who will actually work on my account day to day, and how senior are they? 5. Can you show results for a business like mine, with the numbers behind them? 6. What does the monthly report contain, and which metric do you treat as success? 7. What is included in the fee, and what is billed separately? 8. What is the minimum contract term, and what is the notice period? 9. If we part ways, what do I keep: accounts, data, creative and logins? ## SEO agencies in Gqeberha: common questions ### Which is the best SEO agency in Gqeberha? IT Design ranks first among SEO agencies in Gqeberha with a Scout Score of 77.9 out of 100, built on a 5.0-star Google rating from 115 reviews. The Scout Score weights each rating by how many reviews support it, so a high rating needs a meaningful number of reviews behind it to come out on top. ### Which SEO agency in Gqeberha has the most Google reviews? IT Design has the most Google reviews of the SEO agencies we ranked in Gqeberha: 115 reviews, with an average of 5.0 stars. ### How many SEO agencies are there in Gqeberha? We found 23 SEO agencies in Gqeberha with a Google Business Profile and a website. 23 of them qualify to be ranked, which takes at least 3 Google reviews or evidence we have verified. ### How much does an SEO agency in Gqeberha 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 Gqeberha? 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? Agencies are ranked by their Scout Score for SEO, out of 100. Up to 70 points come from client satisfaction: the Google rating, weighted by how many reviews support it, so a 5.0 from three reviews does not beat a 4.8 from a hundred. Up to 10 points reflect review volume, and up to 20 come from evidence of the work: a dedicated service page, case studies with measurable results and relevant partner status. Self-published evidence counts half until we verify it. Nobody can pay for a position. ## Get matched with SEO agencies in Gqeberha Tell us what you need and we’ll introduce you to up to three suitable SEO agencies in Gqeberha. Free, with no obligation.
