Cape Town web design and SEO company with six-month SEO projects from R1,500 monthly
About Big Web Media
Big Web Media (Pty) Ltd is a web design and search optimisation company with its main office on the fourth floor of the East Wing at The Palms, 145 Sir Lowry Road, Woodstock, Cape Town, and a second office at 17 Baker Street in Rosebank, Johannesburg. It was earlier based on Bree Street in central Cape Town.
It was founded in 2007 and has a team of two to nine people. Its founding idea was to take the mystery out of web design and SEO, and it has provided SEO in both South Africa and the UK. No founders or staff are named.
Alongside SEO they offer website design, small business sites, WordPress development, ecommerce shops, custom web development, branding and logo design, website copywriting, pay-per-click advertising, email marketing and a free website audit. Their small business SEO service runs as an initial six-month project with a set list of tasks for each month. An SEO adviser proposes keywords for the client's industry and area, page titles and descriptions are rewritten across the site, local search is addressed, and content and backlinks are added. Organic rankings usually take several months, depending on competition. The published starting price is R1,500 per month.
The proof they show is from other sectors. Hot Dog Yoga, a Sea Point studio, ranks second on Google for Yoga Cape Town with about 1,400 visitors a month, and Pine Lodge George first for budget accommodation in George with about 1,236 visitors in a month. They also have rankings for health-related terms such as hospital plan and health care insurance, and clients include Affinity Health, Sen Wellness Sanctuary and Fitlab, alongside Value Car Hire, Kloofnek Suites and American Shutters. They have no named dental practice clients.
Google reviewers rate them 4.8 from six reviews spread over roughly ten years. One long-standing client praised four years of steady work, and another said the team delivered after poor experiences with other SEO and web firms. The Manifest shows 4.7 from three reviews, with top marks for service and slightly lower marks for value. The average rate is about $35 an hour, with projects under $1,000. A South African practice wanting a new WordPress site, its own copy and a modest monthly SEO programme would suit their offer, but it would likely be one of their first dental clients.
