SEO Consultancy Services in Nairobi, Kenya

Offering consultancy services to help Kenyan businesses increase inbound leads by achieving top rankings on Google.


As a Kenyan business, you operate in one of the most competitive markets.

Everywhere you look, you are bombarded by advertisements from the nation’s largest companies within your industry. You’re competing against businesses willing to spend thousands or millions of shillings each month to attract customers.

While there are numerous ways your business can attract more customers (video, social media, billboards, etc.), there’s only one marketing tactic that reigns supreme:

Search Engine optimization

You may have experimented with SEO previously without seeing significant results.

The landscape of search engine optimization evolves constantly – without staying updated, your business (or agency) is bound to fall behind.

However, updating your approach can significantly boost your inbound leads, potentially doubling, tripling, or even quadrupling them with certainty.

Kenya’s Top Rated SEO Company

Benda Africa has been enabling Kenyan businesses to improve their Google rankings with targeted SEO tactics for more than ten years. A quick search for “Benda Africa SEO” will showcase countless five-star client reviews and a variety of videos, books, and speaking engagements by our in-demand team members.

We’ve achieved success through our unique approach to SEO, which targets various aspects of Google, creating a “blended” strategy.

For instance, try searching for “real estate company in Kenya.”

You will see several “Google products” show up:

  • Local Service Ads
  • Google Ads (PPC)
  • Google Maps Pack (local)
  • Traditional SEO results

Many Kenyan businesses struggle to gain visibility because they focus solely on one aspect of Google.

Your business needs to appear in multiple areas of Google to achieve better results.

Our “Blended” strategy targets paid and organic opportunities, effectively optimizing your presence to drive leads and high-value customers.

Our “Blended” Search Strategy For Kenyan Businesses

Our “blended” SEO approach is designed to boost visibility and rankings for businesses in Kenya.

Many agencies fall short because they focus on just a few elements of the search engine results pages (SERPs). We, however, leverage every opportunity to ensure your business attracts high-quality leads through a comprehensive strategy.

1. Technical Optimizations

Google favors websites that are easy to use and technically solid. We target crucial aspects to enhance your site, such as:

  • Website Speed: We guarantee quick loading times by optimizing images, implementing browser caching, streamlining code, and improving user experience and search engine rankings.
  • Mobile Responsiveness: Mobile browsing is so prevalent that we ensure your site is fully responsive. Google’s mobile-first indexing highlights the importance of your site’s mobile version for your rankings.
  • Structured and Clean Code: Well-organized HTML and CSS make it easier for search engines to crawl your site. Effective use of headings and semantic HTML is essential.
  • Structured Data Markup: This enables search engines to deliver more informative results by using schema markup to enhance your listings with reviews, events, and other valuable information.
  • Fixing Broken Links and Redirects: We reduce broken links and efficiently implement 301 redirects to preserve link equity and demonstrate a well-maintained site.
  • Optimized Page Titles and Meta Descriptions: These elements are crucial for search engine results pages (SERPs), accurately reflecting your page content and incorporating primary keywords.

2. Local SEO Optimizations

To achieve prominent placement in local search results, including the “Maps pack,” we help you implement:

  • Google Business Profile (GBP) Optimization: We claim and optimize your listing to ensure consistency in your business name, address, and phone number (NAP), and include detailed descriptions, operating hours, and photos.
  • Local Business Schema Markup: Enhancing your site with structured data that includes your location and contact information.
  • Online Reviews and Rating Management: Encouraging and managing reviews on your GBP and other platforms increases visibility and appeal to potential clients.
  • Local Link Building: We obtain backlinks from reputable businesses and directories to strengthen your local SEO presence.
  • Localized Content Creation: Creating content relevant to the Kenyan community, such as local events, news, or activities, positions your business as an active community member.

3. Content Strategy and Publishing

Content is essential for ranking on Google as it provides assets to rank for various keyword searches. Our comprehensive content process ensures that every aspect is thoroughly optimized, leaving no stone unturned in enhancing your website’s presence.

  • Keyword Research: We identify relevant keywords specific to your services in Kenya and the surrounding regions.
  • On-page Optimization: Based on our audit findings, we review and enhance existing site content, including meta tags, headings, and structured data.
  • Content Research: It is crucial to ensure that the content on your website is accurate and up-to-date. Our team of researchers thoroughly cross-checks every piece of information before making recommendations.
  • Content Writing: We will expertly recommend creating additional pages to cover all relevant areas, supporting information, and blog posts, ensuring comprehensive SEO coverage.
  • Content Publishing: Our team ensures that your in-house team effectively publishes, formats, and manages the content on your website.

4. Link Acquisition

Links are crucial in SEO as they act as endorsements from external websites, indicating your legitimacy and trustworthiness. This significantly impacts search engine rankings.

For local SEO, we prioritize obtaining high-quality, locally relevant links demonstrating your business’s strong ties and prominence within the local community.

The best links for local SEO come from reputable local businesses, relevant websites, community and industry-related directories, local news sites, and local chambers of commerce or industry-specific associations.

Simply put, your site won’t rank for your most desired keywords without links. However, not all links are created equal; some can be detrimental rather than beneficial.

That’s why we focus on acquiring only the highest quality and most impactful links to boost your rankings effectively.

5. Local Service Ads

LSAs (Local Services Ads) offer a pay-per-lead ad model at the top of Google search results. We help set up and optimize your LSAs for maximum efficiency, ensuring you benefit from the Google Guarantee badge and earn the trust of potential clients.

By integrating these strategies, we aim to enhance your online visibility and ensure your Kenyan business stands out in a competitive market, driving quality leads and fostering growth.
