About us
ClickMaven was started in 2007 and has become one of the leading Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and AdWords companies in South Africa.
So what do we actually do? In South Africa there are over 20 million cell phone users who have access to the internet, and 5 million people have access via a computer. Almost all of these people may be using the internet to find a solution to a problem they have. If your product/offering can solve their problem, we make sure that it’s YOU they find when they search for a solution.
We have a variety of different clients from various industries, from small up and coming entrepreneurs to JSE-listed Blue Chip companies. We increased their search engine rankings; this guided more traffic to their website, we then helped to convert this traffic to sales.
Our speciality in driving sales is backed up by our ability to measure and show return on investment so you know exactly how effectively each cent was spent.
To keep our clients at the forefront with their SEO we are continually expanding our list of services and even create new services to meet our client’s needs. We recently added video search, mobile SEO and Google Maps to our portfolio of services.
