Cape Business News SEO & Digital Marketing - Lead Manager

Project Overview

Cape Business News (CBN) is a well-established business media platform with a large online presence, encompassing nearly 100 categories across various sectors. They approached us to assist with improving their website's search engine visibility and overall digital performance.

Due to the scale of the website and the diverse structure of its categories—many with nested subcategories—ranking for specific search terms proved complex. However, our comprehensive approach has yielded significant improvements in search visibility that would not have been achieved without these interventions.

Our engagement encompasses ongoing SEO strategy, performance optimization, content management, social media automation, and digital marketing initiatives. The relationship is dynamic and results-driven, with a shared goal of continuous digital improvement and growth.

We continue to work closely with Cape Business News, providing comprehensive support across multiple digital channels while maintaining their position as a leading business media platform in South Africa.
