We are SEO specialists in Nairobi and you are looking at the proof!
~ Simon Mwangi
Your potential customers open Google before they call anyone. If your website does not appear in those results, you do not exist to them. Most Kenyan businesses are invisible online not because their product is weak, but because their SEO is not there.
AI search has added a second layer. Tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode now answer buyer questions directly. If your business is not structured for AI citations, even strong Google rankings are not enough anymore.
The Kenyan market is still low competition. A correctly built page can rank here faster than anywhere in the US or UK. That window is narrowing.
East African SEO
Organic Growth
Clients Served
African Markets
Most Kenyan competitors have weak or unoptimised sites. A properly built page ranks faster here than in any Western market.
ChatGPT and Gemini name brands in their answers. Businesses structured for AI get recommended. Those that are not are invisible twice.
Safari and hospitality buyers search from the US, UK, and Europe. Ranking for those queries brings high-ticket international traffic that directories cannot capture for you.
Unlike paid ads that stop when your budget does, SEO builds an asset. Pages optimised three years ago still drive traffic today.
OUR SERVICES
01
Site speed, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, crawl fixes, structured data, and the technical foundations that let Google rank your pages. Without this, everything else underperforms.
02
Google Business Profile optimisation, citation building, local pack ranking, and review management for businesses that serve customers in specific Kenyan cities or districts.
Keyword-driven content that targets what your buyers actually search. Service pages, destination pages, and informational content built for conversion, not just traffic volume.
Authority signals that move rankings when the SEO is already solid. We build relevant, editorially placed links from Kenyan, East Africa and global publications, directories, and industry sources that Google trusts.
A full technical and content audit of your site. We identify exactly what is holding back your rankings and deliver a prioritised fix list with clear business impact for each item.
Generative Engine Optimisation. We structure your site so AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini recommend your business when buyers ask for what you offer in East Africa.
These are actual outcomes from clients we have worked with across Kenya and Tanzania. No vanity metrics, no inflated claims.
Sectors We Know
Generic SEO gets generic results. We bring real sector depth to every engagement, which is why our results outperform what general agencies deliver.
01
Our deepest area of expertise. We have grown organic bookings for safari camps, lodges, and tour operators across Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar, and Uganda. Real results, real clients.
02
Highest average CPC in the Kenyan market. Law firms that rank organically for their practice areas stop paying for leads that should be free. We make that happen with targeted content and local SEO.
Developers, agents, and property portals competing for buyers in Nairobi, Mombasa, and coastal Kenya. We build the content architecture that turns search intent into property inquiries.
Kenyan online stores competing against marketplaces and directories. We give brand sites the structural and keyword advantage to win organic traffic without heavy ongoing ad spend.
Destination pages, itinerary content, and the long-tail keyword strategy that brings international travellers directly to your booking page instead of through an OTA or platform.
Medical practices, dental clinics, and specialist providers building local search visibility in Nairobi and other Kenyan cities. High-trust, compliance-aware content and local SEO strategy.
As someone who works in marketing I had high expectations and Simon delivered. The technical depth he brings is not something you find easily in the Kenyan market. Schema implementation, topical authority, entity building, he understands all of it and more importantly he knows how to apply it practically. I have seen agencies here talk about SEO and then do the basics badly. Simon is the real thing. I refer clients to him without hesitation.
Head of Marketing - Liason
Before I worked with Simon my business was basically invisible online. People in my own area could not find me on Google. He sorted out our Google Business Profile, cleaned up some issues on the website I did not even know existed, and within a few months we were showing up in the local results. Calls picked up. Walk-ins picked up. Simple as that. Good value, no nonsense, he tells you what he is doing and why. I will definitely continue working with him.
Head of Accounts - SECO
What I appreciate most is that Simon actually understands the safari business. He is not just an SEO person who learned a few industry words. When we were working on our destination pages and service copy, he already knew what international clients look for, how they search, what convinces them to book. That made everything faster and the results showed it. Our Google visibility improved significantly and we started getting enquiries from searches we were not ranking for before. Very happy with the work.
Travel Agent Trek Safaris Uganda
Our website got deindexed after a redesign. The developer made an error and the whole site dropped out of Google overnight. For a safari company that depends on organic bookings, that is a serious problem. Simon diagnosed it quickly, fixed the indexing issue, sorted the technical errors the redesign had introduced, and got us back into Google. What impressed me was how fast he moved and how clearly he explained what had happened at each step. We recovered fully and the site has been performing well since. I would not trust anyone else with our SEO in this region.
Founder of Roy Safaris Tanzania
An SEO agency in Kenya helps businesses rank higher on Google for the keywords their customers search. This includes technical SEO fixes, local search optimisation, content creation, Google Business Profile management, and link building. The goal is more organic traffic, more leads, and more revenue from search without paying for every click through ads.
It depends. See this article about the real cost of SEO in Kenya. However estimated costs in Kenya typically range from KES 50,000 to KES 150,000 per month depending on the scope of work, the competitiveness of your market, and the number of pages and keywords targeted. We offer a free SEO audit before any engagement so you know exactly what work is needed and what results to expect. No retainer starts without a clear plan and agreed deliverables.
Most SEO campaigns in Kenya start showing measurable improvement in rankings within 2 to 4 months. Significant organic traffic growth typically follows within 4 to 8 months. The Kenyan search market is less competitive than US or UK markets, which means results come faster when the technical work and content are done correctly. We have ranked new pages in Kenya in under 60 days.
Yes. We work with businesses across Kenya including Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, and Thika. We also serve clients in Tanzania, Zanzibar, Arusha, Dar es Salaam, and Uganda. All client work is managed remotely with monthly reporting and direct WhatsApp or email communication throughout the engagement. Location has never been a barrier for any of our clients.
Three things need to be in place. Your business name, location, and services must appear consistently everywhere online....your website, Google Business Profile, and any directories you are listed on. Your site needs enough content on your topic that AI tools recognise you as a credible source. And your business needs to be mentioned in places Google and AI systems already trust, like industry publications and reputable directories. That is what GEO optimisation covers. Most Kenyan businesses are not doing any of this yet, which means the ones that start now will own those AI citations for years.
We offer four services. SEO is our core, but we also run Google Ads campaigns, build websites, and manage social media. Most clients start with SEO or an audit, then add other services as the engagement grows. Everything is handled in-house, no subcontracting.
Yes. We build and manage Google Ads campaigns for businesses across Kenya and East Africa. This includes keyword research, campaign structure, ad copy, bidding strategy, and monthly optimisation. Google Ads works well alongside SEO because it delivers immediate traffic while the organic rankings build. We manage both for several of our clients so nothing gets siloed.
Yes. We build websites and design them specifically to convert organic traffic into leads. Every site we build is structured for SEO from the ground up, with clean architecture, fast load times, proper schema markup, and pages built around the keywords your business needs to rank for. We do not build websites that look good but rank nowhere.
Yes. We manage social media for businesses across Kenya including content creation, scheduling, and community management. Social media does not directly improve your Google rankings but it builds brand awareness, drives referral traffic, and supports the overall digital presence that makes SEO work faster. We manage it as part of a broader strategy, not in isolation.
