Compete where the money is

The City of Johannesburg says Joburg produces 16% of South Africa's GDP and accounts for 40% of Gauteng's economic activity. That much business brings competition, and every rival can bid on the same keywords as you.

We build tight campaigns on the searches that turn into work, cut the terms that only burn budget and adjust bids every weekday. Your monthly report shows cost per lead, not just clicks. Get your free audit to see where your spend is leaking.

Reach the whole of Gauteng

Stats SA's Census 2022 counted 4,803,262 people in the City of Johannesburg, 4,066,691 in Ekurhuleni and 4,040,315 in the City of Tshwane. Google Ads lets you target cities, regions or postal codes, or a radius of at least 1 km around a location.

We match your targeting to where you'll take the work. That can be Sandton alone, or Joburg plus Pretoria and the East Rand, with separate budgets and ads for each area so you see exactly what every lead costs.

Stop paying for the wrong clicks

Google Ads Help says the default location setting, Presence or Interest, also reaches "people who have shown interest in your targeted locations". The Presence setting reaches only people located, or regularly located, in the areas you target.

We choose the right setting for each campaign. If you travel to your customers, Presence keeps your ads in front of people who are actually in your area. If you sell to people planning a move or a visit, Presence or interest can earn its place. We check the location report as part of your regular optimisation and cut areas that don't convert.
