SEO Services in South Africa That Actually Move Rankings, Not Just Reports
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the process of improving a website so it ranks higher in Google's organic results, and increasingly, gets cited directly inside AI answers on Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. Mintt runs SEO for South African businesses across Pretoria, Johannesburg, and Cape Town, combining technical fixes, content built around real search intent, and the structured data that both Google and AI engines need to understand and trust your site. We don't sell a keyword count and disappear behind a report full of jargon, we tell you what's working, what isn't, and what we're changing next.

AI Search & SEO
Search Has Changed. Has Your SEO Strategy?
Ranking on page one used to be the whole game. It still matters, nearly 40% of Google's AI Overviews cite a page that's already in the top 10 organic results, and close to 70% pull from somewhere in the top 100, but it's no longer the only game. Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Google's AI Mode, and Perplexity for recommendations directly, and those tools decide what to cite based on how clearly your content answers the question, not just how it's ranked. Traditional SEO gets you into the top organic results. Answer Engine Optimisation makes your content easy to extract for snippets and direct answers. Generative Engine Optimisation is what gets your brand mentioned inside the AI-written answer itself.
SEO
The technical and on-page foundation that gets your site found in the first place.
AEO
Structuring answers, FAQs, definitions, structured data, so search features and voice assistants can extract them directly.
GEO
Building the entity authority and citation-worthy structure that gets your brand recommended inside AI-generated answers.
What's Included
SEO That Is Built to Compound, Not Just Spike

We do it differently: we start with a full technical audit of your site, fix what is actually holding your rankings back, and build a content and link strategy around the searches your real customers are typing into Google.
Technical SEO audit and fixes
Site speed, crawlability, indexing, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, and mobile performance.
