Foundation

For a business that needs a website built for speed and SEO, and needs it to keep growing. The site is built, hosted and cared for, the page structure and keyword map are set at onboarding, two new pages a month answer what your customers search for, and an SEO report every six months shows where you rank and where AI answers name you. Best suited to local and niche businesses starting out with organic search.

Growth

For a business competing across several services or areas. Everything in Foundation, four to five pages a month in your own brand voice, a calendar refreshed each quarter with a quarterly consultation and an SEO report every three months, and site work as the business needs it. Best suited to growing brands with more than one thing to be found for.

Authority

For a brand that wants page one and AI citations, and wants both measured. Everything in Growth, eight to nine pages a month, the SEO report every month, drawn from your own Search Console and from what AI answers say about you, a monthly consultation, and full site work. The package built for the goal every page is written for.

Already have a site?

Any package on your own site

Any package on the site you already have, for R500 a month less. You keep your site and your developers; we write and publish the pages. Your site must be built on our platform or be a custom build with an API we can publish into.

Twenty-four-month minimum. The pages, their on-page SEO, images and links are ours to deliver. Hosting, speed, security and the rest of the site stay with you and your developers. We audit your site and connect to its API so pages publish straight in.

How much does SEO cost per month in South Africa?

Across the market, from about R3,500 to R35,000 a month, with most professional retainers sitting between R10,000 and R25,000. The bottom of that range buys a report and a dashboard. Our packages are R4,500, R7,500 and R10,000 a month, and every one includes your website, the writing, the publishing into your site, and the technical SEO, not a subscription to a login.

What is included in an SEO package?

Every package includes a website built for speed and SEO (ten pages on Foundation, fifteen on Growth and thirty on Authority), hosting and care, keyword research and site architecture, on-page SEO on every page, internal linking, technical SEO monitored throughout, and new SEO pages published into your site every month by us. The packages differ in volume and attention: 2 a month on Foundation, 4 to 5 a month on Growth with your own brand voice, and 8 to 9 a month on Authority. Every package includes the same SEO report on your rankings and AI citations: every six months on Foundation, every three months on Growth, and every month on Authority.

Is there a contract, and what happens if I cancel?

Every package runs for a minimum term of twenty-four months and renews for a further twenty-four months unless you give written notice at least thirty days before the term ends. There is no setup fee. If you leave, your domain, every page we have written, your images and your data go with you. The website itself, its design, code and templates, stays with Zahavah Studio, the same way it would on any website platform.

Can I keep the website I already have?

Yes. Any package runs on your own site for R500 a month less, with a once-off API integration of R7,000. We write and publish the pages; you and your developers keep the site. It has to be built on our platform or be a custom build with an API we can publish into. WordPress and other closed platforms do not qualify.

What does a bigger website cost?

The website carries ten pages on Foundation, fifteen on Growth and thirty on Authority. Any page beyond that, whether built at launch or added later, is R500 once-off, and the monthly fee does not change with the size of the site.

Subscription terms: Every package is a monthly subscription with a minimum term of twenty-four months, renewing automatically for a further twenty-four months unless either party gives written notice at least thirty days before the term ends. There is no setup fee. Fees increase by 7 percent once a year on the anniversary of signing. A website includes ten pages on Foundation, fifteen on Growth and thirty on Authority; pages beyond that are charged once-off, at build or when added.

What you own, and what you license: Your domain, the copy and images of every page we write, your data, and your Search Console, Google Business Profile and analytics are yours throughout, and leave with you. A website built on our platform is licensed to you for the life of the subscription: its design, code, templates and hosting remain Zahavah Studio’s. The website is not transferred to you on exit, for any fee or after any length of subscription; your domain, data, content and images are what leave with you. The content-production pipeline, prompts and cross-client templates also remain Zahavah Studio’s.

Algorithmic independence: Zahavah Studio operates in full accordance with current search engine and AI platform guidelines. We do not control third-party algorithms, indexing behaviour, or how AI models weigh citations. We guarantee the work set out in your package: the research, the publishing schedule, the technical work, and the editorial standard, carried out in full and on time. We do not guarantee specific keyword rankings or page-one counts, as these sit with external algorithms beyond the Studio’s control.

Own-site packages: Where we publish into a website we did not build, our responsibility is limited to the pages we publish, their on-page SEO, images and links. Hosting, uptime, speed, security, the indexing of the rest of the site, and any site work sit with the client and its developers. Where a site problem stops the pages performing, we say so in the report; site work is available separately by the hour.

Engagement terms: Page volumes are contingent on timely client access to the website. Pages are produced ahead of publication and submitted for client review; pages not responded to within the agreed review window are considered approved and will be published as submitted. Brand voice, where included, is developed at onboarding and governs every page. Social media and Google Business Profile posting is included in Authority and an add-on on Foundation and Growth, limited to the republication of Studio-produced pages to client-owned channels; setting up a channel the client does not yet have carries no charge; community management, paid social and advertising are outside the scope of every package.

Collaborative responsibility: Where Zahavah Studio works alongside third-party technical teams, our responsibility is limited to the structural strategy, content architecture, and editorial standards we supply. We are not responsible for the performance, stability, or security of code or systems authored or managed by external providers.
