Digital marketing
A digital marketing company with one job: your leads
Most agencies sell channels. We sell outcomes. We run SEO, ads, paid social and your website as one connected lead engine, built around the only number that matters: qualified enquiries.
Trusted by service & product businesses across SA and beyond
Why it works
Built around the only number that matters: leads.
One lead engine
SEO, ads and your website working together toward leads, not five disconnected tactics.
Measured on outcomes
We report on leads and cost per lead, not impressions and likes. The number that pays your bills.
The right channel mix
We put your budget where it works for your business, and move it as the data tells us to.
One senior team
No juggling suppliers. One team that owns your growth end to end, and answers to it.
By the numbers
Real results, real clients

Why us
Been burned before? You're our kind of client.
Most businesses that come to us have already been let down by an agency that was too cheap to deliver, or too big to care. We're the credible middle. Not the cheapest. Worth every rand.
The cheap agency
- Disappears after the invoice clears
- Outsourced, junior, copy-paste work
- Reports full of clicks, no actual leads
- You get what you pay for
The big agency
- R150k+ retainers, locked-in contracts
- You're an account number, not a client
- Senior names on the pitch, juniors on the work
- Overcharged and underdelivered
The Weblab
You- Senior attention on every account
- Built around leads and profit, not vanity metrics
- No lock-in. 30 days' notice, any time
- We'll turn you away if we can't add value
Reviews
60+ five-star reviews. Earned, not bought.

Real people
You deal with the team doing the work.
We're a small, senior team that has grown The Weblab since 2009 using the very strategies we run for our clients. No account managers reading off a script, you talk to the people building your site.
That's also why we turn down work we can't move the needle on. Your growth is the only thing we're measured on.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Still not sure? Ask us directly. We reply within one business day.
Do I have to use every channel?
No. We recommend the mix that fits your business and budget. Sometimes that is one channel, sometimes several.
What does it cost?
Our retainers start from R15,000 a month. The right number depends on your goals and the channels involved.
Will I be locked in?
No. We work month to month with 30 days' notice. We earn the relationship with results.
How is this different from a big agency?
You deal directly with the senior people doing the work, and we turn down clients we cannot grow. No bloated retainers, no juniors learning on your budget.
How soon will I see results?
Ads can move within weeks, SEO compounds over months. We are honest about timelines for each channel up front.
