Local SEO Squad is a small team of specialists who do one thing well. We get South African businesses onto the map and keep their phones ringing. We are part of Mapleleaf Agency, a full digital agency, so we can build your website, host it and rank it without handing you between three different companies.
Why we started
We kept seeing the same thing. Good local businesses, the kind people happily recommend, losing customers to rivals with better Google profiles. Not because those rivals did the job better, but because they showed up first on the map and looked more trusted. Meanwhile the agencies these owners turned to either overcharged them, buried them in jargon, or promised page one in a week and never delivered. We started Local SEO Squad to do it differently, with plain language, real proof and no games.
What we believe
- Show the proof. We use real before and after map pack screenshots, not vague claims.
- No lock in. We earn your stay every month. No long contracts.
- Plain language. We explain what we do and why, in words you can use.
- Do the unglamorous work. Citations, listings and reviews are not exciting, but they are what gets you found, so we do them properly.
- Tell the truth. If you do not need us, or a job will not work, we say so.
