Who we are

An SEO, AEO and PPC agency based in Cape Town

We get businesses found on Google, in AI answers and in paid search. Then we judge the work by the enquiries it brings in.

What we do. We run three kinds of retainer: SEO, AEO (answer engine optimization) and PPC. Most clients take two of them, or all three. SEO earns you rankings on Google. AEO gets your business named and cited when people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI Overviews for a recommendation. PPC puts you in front of buyers who are ready to act today.

Why all three. Search no longer happens in one place. A buyer might Google you, ask an AI assistant to compare you with a competitor, then click an ad when they are ready to buy. If you only show up in one of those places, someone else wins the other two. We plan the three channels together, so what we learn in paid search shapes the content we write, and the content we write gives AI engines something worth quoting.

How we work. We start by finding out where you stand today: what you rank for, where AI engines mention you (or don’t), and what your ad spend returns. The free Search Snapshot and our AEO audit are built for exactly that. From there you get a clear plan, monthly milestones and reporting in plain English. If something isn’t working, we tell you and change it.

Our Vision

Wherever your customers search, your business shows up, with the right facts attached.

Our Purpose

Search keeps changing. New platforms appear, old ranking signals fade and AI tools change how people find answers. Our job is to keep our clients visible through all of it, and to prove that the visibility pays for itself.

About Kadima Digital

Kadima Digital is a search marketing agency. We work with clients around the world who want more enquiries from search, whether that search happens on Google, inside an AI assistant or through a paid ad. Our home base is Cape Town, South Africa.

Experience

Our team has worked in digital marketing since the early 2000s. We've watched search move from ten blue links to featured snippets to AI answers, and we've adapted each time. That history helps us tell a lasting change from a passing fad.

One team, three channels

SEO, AEO and PPC sit under one roof here. There's no handover between agencies and no finger-pointing when the numbers dip. One team sees the whole picture and makes the call.
