Gnu World

Digital marketing and web work for businesses in South Africa and abroad come from Gnu World, which operates from Cape Town and Johannesburg. The firm says it has assisted businesses of all sizes since 2000, and it brings web design, digital marketing and technical expertise together in one team.

Web design, marketing and technical work under one team

The agency describes its team of creative and technical specialists as the reason it can handle the whole job. A business can ask for a new website, search work, content and ongoing technical care without needing a separate supplier for each. The firm says it combines internet technologies and marketing channels into one plan for each client.

Search engine optimization built for the long term

The firm's search work is organic, meaning that it aims to raise a site's traffic and enquiries through search results over time rather than through paid placements alone. The agency says its campaigns are balanced and cost-effective, and that they are designed to perform for the business over the long term.

Content marketing and campaign planning

The agency's content marketing team writes and publishes material that supports rankings and brings visitors to a site. Campaign planning uses several channels together rather than following short-lived trends, which the firm says reflects its view that a sound basic approach yields lasting results.

WordPress security and ongoing maintenance

For WordPress sites, the agency offers security and maintenance work, which covers keeping the site's software up to date and protecting it from attack. The firm describes this as part of getting the basics right for a business website.

How the agency describes its pricing and client relationships

The agency says it does not inflate its prices, and that many of its clients have stayed with it over the long term. It describes its approach as one that stays focused on results rather than on hype or passing fashions in digital marketing.
