Keyword & intent research
We find the terms your buyers use, sorted by intent and relevance to what you actually sell.
- Competitor and search results review
- Search Console query analysis
- Commercial vs informational intent tagging
Most business websites are written in the company's own language: internal service names, industry jargon, a single page trying to cover everything. Customers search differently. They type specific problems, locations and questions into their phones.
When your pages don't match those searches, Google has little reason to show them, and the visitors who do arrive can't quickly find what they came for.
We find the terms your buyers use, sorted by intent and relevance to what you actually sell.
One primary keyword cluster per page, so your pages support each other instead of competing.
We rewrite and restructure priority pages so they answer the search and guide visitors to act.
We connect related pages and track how the optimized pages perform in search and in enquiries.
The detail
Keyword research and on-page SEO is the work of finding the words your customers actually type into Google, then shaping each page of your site so it clearly answers one of those searches. For Kenyan businesses that often means closing the gap between how you describe your services internally and how a buyer in Nairobi, Mombasa or Kisumu phrases the same need on their phone. A logistics firm might say "last-mile fulfilment" while its customers search "parcel delivery Nairobi". On-page SEO closes that gap, one page at a time.
This service suits businesses whose site gets little organic traffic despite decent content, companies launching new service lines, and teams planning a redesign who want the new sitemap built around real demand rather than guesswork.
We begin by understanding what you sell, which services matter most to your growth, where you can realistically deliver and who you compete with. A keyword with high search volume is useless if it attracts people you can't serve.
We combine keyword tools, Search Console data from your own site, Google's autocomplete and "People also ask" results, and the live search results pages to understand what people search and why. Every term is tagged by intent: informational ("how does solar net metering work"), commercial ("solar installers Nairobi") or navigational (your brand name). Commercial terms usually belong on service pages; informational ones suit blog posts and guides.
Kenyan search behavior has quirks worth respecting. Many searches include a town or neighborhood, some mix English and Swahili, and a lot of demand in niche B2B categories is too small for tools to report accurately. Where tools show zero, we lean on Search Console impressions and on what your sales team hears from customers every day.
The output is a keyword map: one primary keyword cluster per page, with supporting terms and the intent it serves. This prevents two of your pages from competing for the same search, which is one of the most common reasons neither of them ranks well.
With the map agreed, we optimize each priority page:
If we find deeper crawl or indexing problems along the way, they go into a technical SEO audit rather than being patched on a single page. Our article on the role of SEO in web development explains why structure and content need to be planned together.
We track the pages we optimized, not the whole site in aggregate, so you can see cause and effect. In Search Console we watch impressions, average position and click-through rate for each page's target cluster. In analytics we check whether organic visitors to those pages go on to call, submit a form, send a WhatsApp message or buy. Rankings move at Google's pace and depend on competition, so we set expectations on direction and effort, never on a guaranteed position.
Chasing volume over intent. Ranking for a broad informational term can bring traffic that never converts. A smaller, specific commercial term often brings more enquiries.
Keyword stuffing. Repeating the same phrase twenty times reads badly and no longer helps. Search engines, including AI-generated answers, reward pages that cover a topic thoroughly and clearly. Our guide to generative engine optimization goes further on writing for AI search.
Treating research as a one-off. A keyword map is not a document you file away. Search behavior shifts, competitors publish and your services change. Revisit it whenever you add a service or notice traffic moving.
Ignoring the page's job. A well-optimized page that doesn't tell visitors what to do next wastes the traffic it earns. Every page we touch gets a clear call to action.

FAQ
Can't find your answer? Ask our team — we reply within one business day.
Cost depends on how many pages we research and optimize, how much content needs rewriting, and whether we implement changes in your CMS. Most clients start with a batch of priority service pages. We scope the work and quote after a discovery call, once we understand your services and current site.
Google needs to recrawl the updated pages first, which can happen within days for active sites and take longer for smaller ones. Ranking movement then depends on competition for each term. We track each optimized page in Search Console so you can see impressions and positions changing over the following weeks and months.
On-page SEO is about the content and structure of individual pages: titles, headings, copy, internal links and images matched to what people search. Technical SEO deals with site-wide foundations such as crawling, indexing, redirects, sitemaps and schema. Both matter, and problems in one can limit results from the other.
Where your audience searches that way, yes. We check real search results and your Search Console queries for Swahili and mixed-language terms. For many B2B and professional services, English dominates, but consumer products and local services sometimes show meaningful Swahili searches worth targeting.
Where a page doesn't answer the search it targets, we rewrite or expand it, keeping your brand voice and facts. You review everything before it goes live. If you prefer to write in-house, we can provide detailed page briefs with target keywords, headings and questions to cover instead.
Yes, and that is one of the best times to do it. Research before a redesign tells you which pages the new site needs, what to call them and how to group them, so the sitemap reflects real demand rather than internal assumptions.

Have a look at what our clients have said about our web design agency in Kenya
Everything you need to know before we start working together.
Never. We build custom front-end interfaces and CMS architectures from scratch. Most agencies buy a $50 theme, slap your logo on it, and call it a day—resulting in slow, bloated, and easily hacked websites. We engineer scalable, secure platforms tailored exactly to your brand and operational needs.
We don't offer generic "packages" because we don't build generic websites. Costs depend entirely on the complexity of the build—a custom 5-page corporate site requires a different architecture than a multi-vendor e-commerce platform. After our initial discovery call, we provide a transparent, itemized proposal so you know exactly what you are paying for.
For a custom corporate website or brand identity project, our standard turnaround is 4 to 6 weeks. For complex custom portals, Learning Management Systems (LMS), or heavy e-commerce builds with custom API integrations, expect an 8 to 12-week timeline. We map out strict delivery milestones before we begin.
Yes. We don't use clunky manual "Paybill instructions" pages. We build seamless Lipa na M-Pesa STK push integrations (along with Pesapal, Stripe, and PayPal) so your customers can complete transactions instantly without ever leaving your checkout page.
You do. 100%. Once the final invoice is settled, we hand over full administrator access, source files, and asset libraries. We don't hold our clients' digital properties hostage to force them into paying ongoing fees.
Absolutely. While you have the power to update your own content, maintaining the server, updating security patches, and monitoring uptime requires technical expertise. We offer dedicated, monthly maintenance retainers so your site remains lightning-fast and bulletproof long after launch.
No honest agency can guarantee a #1 spot due to Google's constantly changing algorithms. What we do guarantee is best-in-class technical SEO execution, clean code, lightning-fast load times, and data-driven keyword strategies that consistently push our clients to the top of their industries over a 3 to 6-month period.
