How We Score Each Agency
Every agency in the main list is based in Cape Town. National dental agencies that work here are shown separately below it. We checked each one’s dental client work, public reviews, published results and terms before adding it, then read every client testimonial we could find. Only agencies that pass these checks are listed, so every DSA Score starts at 80. The other 20 depend on how many of the 100 points below each agency earns: DSA Score = 80 + points earned ÷ 5.
- Profile (up to 80 points). Five factors scored out of 20 each, then scaled to 80:
- Client reviews: a verified rating on Google, Clutch, G2, UpCity, Trustpilot or a similar platform
- Experience: years in business, a named founder or leader, and a dental or healthcare focus
- Client portfolio: how many dental clients the agency names publicly
- Published results: case studies with real figures, such as traffic, leads or revenue
- Transparency: published prices, clear contract terms, and a confirmed website and location
- Client feedback (up to 20 points). What clients actually say, from the testimonials we read on Google, independent review sites and the agency’s own website:
- Independent reviews (6): how many reviews we found that the agency doesn’t control
- Client satisfaction (8): how consistently clients praise the agency, adjusted so a handful of reviews can’t outscore a long track record
- Independent sources (4): how much of the feedback comes from Google and review sites rather than the agency’s own pages
- Dental clients (2): at least one review from a dental practice
- Verification. Client feedback points are reduced when reviews or agency details can’t be verified.
We summarise each client review in our own words and link to the original, so you can read it in full.
Price ranges are a guide based on published rates and typical fees for agencies of a similar profile. Always ask for a written quote.

Dental SEO in Cape Town: Frequently Asked Questions
SA Medical Website Design says it has made 500-plus sites. Does it take only health clients?
Yes, SA Medical Website Design in Gardens. It works only with medical specialists and health practitioners and says it has built over 500 websites for them. It has been in the industry since 1994 and runs its own medical directory with 50,000 to 60,000 monthly visitors. Its named clients are surgeons and a clinical psychologist, not dentists.
How far apart are the Sortlist SEO minimums for Web2Web and Big Web Media?
Forty times apart: €250 for Big Web Media against €10,000 for Web2Web. Big Web Media, at The Palms in Woodstock, has done SEO since 2009 and covers audits, link building and monthly reports. Web2Web, in Century City, pairs SEO with WordPress builds, Google Ads and hosting, and has a Medical industry section on its homepage.
What is Big Web Media's public rating worth?
Not much on its own: 4.5 on Sortlist from a single review. One review is too thin to judge an agency on. Big Web Media scopes website packages by page count: up to 5, 5 to 10, and 10 or more, so a practice can price a site by its size. It has done SEO since 2009.
Which agency is in Table View, and how quickly does it deliver a site?
Deep Thought Media & Marketing, at 21 on Blaauw on Blaauwberg Road. Typical delivery is 14 to 30 days after a 50% deposit, and its designers all work in house at that office. It prices websites from R500 to R50,000+ and builds redesigns on a staging site so the live site stays up. It names no dental clients.
What score does Web2Web publish from its own clients?
An NPS of 93.2, from 234 client responses. That is a figure Web2Web publishes itself, not a third-party rating, and there is no public rating we could verify for it. Its LinkedIn page gives 2009 as the founding year. Named clients include Audi, Ford and Seattle Coffee Company, and its office is in Century Square, Century City.
