What exactly do you build?

We design and build conversion-focused websites, custom CRMs and client portals, mobile apps, e-commerce stores, and the automation workflows that connect them. Everything is bespoke to your business — no templates, no rented software. The end result is a system you own outright that captures, nurtures, and converts leads on autopilot.

How much does it cost?

We offer two main packages. Growth Starter pairs Google Ads with a conversion-focused landing page. Scale Accelerator is the full system: website or rebuild, CRM, automations, and ad management together. Exact pricing depends on scope, but every quote is fixed upfront with no hidden fees.

Is there a long-term contract or lock-in?

The first month is month-to-month so we can both prove the fit. After that first month, we begin discussing a fair contract that works for both sides. We'd rather earn your business through results than trap anyone in a contract — if we're not delivering, you should be free to leave.

Do you offer a guarantee?

We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on every package. If within the first 30 days you feel we're not the right fit, we'll part ways — no hard feelings, no exit fees. If we're not generating momentum within 30 days, we work for free until we do.

How soon will I see results?

With paid traffic (Google Ads), most clients see qualified leads within the first 1-2 weeks of launch. Organic and SEO results compound over 2-3 months. The fastest path is our Growth Starter package — it pairs a conversion-focused landing page with targeted ads so you're in front of ready-to-buy people immediately.

How long does a build take?

It depends on scope. A focused landing page with ads typically launches in 1-2 weeks. A full website with CRM and automations usually takes 3-6 weeks. We work in fast, transparent sprints so you see progress every few days, not at the end.

The Real Numbers: What You’ll Pay Per Click

In the competitive Mother City market, the google ads cost for accountants cape town firms face isn't a mystery—it’s a math problem. You aren't just buying clicks; you’re buying high-intent leads looking for tax returns, audits, or monthly bookkeeping. In South Africa, the cost-per-click (CPC) for accounting services typically ranges from R25 to R120 depending on the specific niche.

General Bookkeeping: R25 – R45 per click
Tax Consulting & SARS Disputes: R60 – R110 per click
Audit & Corporate Advisory: R120+ per click

Why Cape Town Accounting Firms Overpay

Most firms waste 40% of their budget on "tyre-kickers" or students looking for internships. If you aren't using aggressive negative keyword lists for terms like "jobs," "internships," or "free advice," you’re burning petrol for no reason. In Cape Town, competition is fierce in the CBD and Southern Suburbs, which naturally drives up the auction price for top-tier keywords.

The Total Monthly Investment: Myth vs Reality

We often hear from partners who want to "test the waters" with R2,000 a month. In the accounting sector, that budget will be exhausted by lunch on the third day. To see a real return on investment (ROI), a mid-sized practice should budget between R8,000 and R20,000 in pure ad spend, plus a professional management fee.

This level of spend allows Google’s algorithm to gather enough data to identify which users actually convert into high-value clients. If you spend too little, you never exit the "learning phase," and your cost-per-lead remains artificially high.

The Hidden Costs of a Poor Setup

The ad spend is only half the battle. If you send a R80 click to a generic homepage that hasn't been updated since 2015, that money is gone forever. You need a high-converting landing page that addresses the specific pain point of the searcher—whether that’s VAT compliance, payroll outsourcing, or annual financial statements.

Conversion Tracking: If you aren't tracking phone calls and form fills, you’re flying blind.
Geo-Targeting: Don't pay for clicks in Johannesburg if you only want to serve clients in Durbanville or Constantia.
Mobile Optimisation: Over 60% of South African searches happen on mobile; your site must be lightning-fast.
