What Is SEO in Durban?

SEO aligns three pillars so coastal customers find you at the exact moment of intent:

  1. Technical SEO — Core Web Vitals targets (LCP < 2.5s, INP < 200ms, CLS < 0.1), crawl/index controls, canonicalisation, structured data.

  2. On‑Page & Content — intent‑mapped pages, topic clusters, internal links, and conversion‑first copy.

  3. Off‑Page & Local — editorial links, consistent NAP/citations, and an optimised Google Business Profile for Map Pack wins.

Durban search behaviour is mobile‑heavy and proximity‑driven (“near me”, “open now”), with seasonal spikes (holidays/events) and strong B2C demand in home services, healthcare, hospitality and retail—plus B2B for logistics, manufacturing, and port‑adjacent industries.
