Absolutely. Our SME Foundations package is designed specifically for business owners who want to learn how digital marketing works while building their first campaigns. At R2,500/month, you get direct coaching, a starter keyword list, and campaign setup guidance. The goal isn't just to spend your budget — it's to make you confident and capable, so every rand counts. As you grow, you can scale up to Growth Engine or Accelerator.
Since the April 2025 amendments, POPIA requires explicit opt-in consent for all electronic marketing (email, SMS, phone, WhatsApp). You must clearly identify yourself in every communication, provide easy opt-out mechanisms, and maintain a do-not-contact database. Remarketing audiences, cookie tracking, and lead capture forms all have compliance requirements. Non-compliance can result in fines up to R10 million. Every PeakRank package includes the POPIA compliance layer your business needs.
SME Academy packages (R2,500 – R10,000) blend education with execution. You learn alongside us — coaching sessions, workshops, dashboard walkthroughs — so you build internal capability. Professional tiers (R12,000 – R50,000) are fully managed: we handle everything and you focus on running your business. Both include full POPIA compliance. Many clients start in SME Academy and graduate to Professional as they scale.
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimisation — the practice of optimising your business content so it appears in AI-generated answers from tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. Traditional SEO gets you ranked in search results; GEO gets you cited by AI when potential customers ask questions about your industry. As more South Africans use AI assistants to research products and services, businesses that aren't GEO-optimised risk becoming invisible to an entirely new discovery channel. Our GEO audits assess your brand's AI visibility, identify gaps in structured data and authoritative content, and build a strategy so that when someone asks an AI “Who's the best [your service] in [your city]?” — your business is the answer. GEO is included from our Growth Engine package upward.
According to SparkToro and Datos research (2024), nearly 60% of Google searches now end without a click — users get their answers directly from AI Overviews, featured snippets, and knowledge panels. A Seer Interactive study found that for organic results below AI Overviews, click-through rates dropped by up to 34.5%. This means traditional SEO alone is no longer enough. Businesses need to optimise for both traditional rankings and AI citation. PeakRank is South Africa's first agency to offer Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) alongside SEO and Google Ads — so your brand stays visible no matter how your customers search.
SEO is a long-term investment. Most clients see measurable improvements within 3-4 months, with significant traffic and ranking gains by month 6. Google Ads results are typically visible within 2-4 weeks as we gather data and optimise. Our SME coaching helps you understand these timelines so there are no surprises.
Ideally, yes — and you need GEO too. Google Ads delivers immediate traffic, SEO builds long-term organic visibility, and GEO ensures your brand gets cited by AI engines like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. Together, they cover the entire search landscape. This combined approach is what we call Search Everywhere Optimization. Our SME packages introduce all three concepts so you understand the full picture before investing heavily.
Yes. If you already manage your own campaigns but need help with POPIA compliance — consent management, privacy policies, do-not-contact databases, Form 4 implementation, cookie consent — we offer compliance-only consulting. Contact us for a custom quote.
SME packages are month-to-month from day one. Professional packages have a recommended 3-month minimum to allow campaigns to gather sufficient data and optimise properly. After that, everything is month-to-month. We don't lock you in — our results and your growth are the contract.
