Project Overview

Glotech Appliance Repairs provides repair and maintenance services for household appliances across Cape Town. As a local service business, consistent online visibility is essential for attracting new customers and generating leads.

Despite offering reliable services, the business struggled with inconsistent digital growth due to frequent changes in marketing providers. Over a single year, multiple strategy shifts prevented any long-term SEO momentum from developing.
The website itself also lacked a strong technical and structural foundation. It contained unnecessary code, had an unclear content hierarchy, and did not effectively target specific service areas within Cape Town.

The goal of the project was to rebuild the website and establish a clear local SEO strategy that would support sustainable organic growth and improve user experience.

Kijo Digital delivered a structured solution focused on WordPress development, local SEO architecture, and performance optimization.
