Geeklab is a full-service digital agency based in Somerset West, Cape Town. Since 2012, we have brought strategy, design, development and marketing together for businesses in South Africa and internationally. Our team connects the website, brand and marketing activity around an agreed business goal.

Websites and eCommerce: We plan, design and develop WordPress websites and WooCommerce stores, with attention to user experience, mobile usability and the path from a first visit to an enquiry or purchase. We also provide website hosting, maintenance and ongoing technical support.

Search and paid media: Our services include SEO, Google Ads, search engine marketing and conversion optimisation. We also support answer engine and generative engine optimisation (AEO/GEO) as part of helping businesses strengthen their visibility across search and AI-assisted discovery.

Creative and content: We develop brand identities, graphic design, packaging, campaign creative and video content. Social media strategy, content creation and community management help carry the same brand message across the channels your audience uses.

Who we work with: Our clients include B2B service firms, professional associations and certification bodies, retailers and eCommerce brands. We also support agencies and consultants through white-label delivery and referral partnerships.

How we work: We start by understanding your audience, priorities and existing digital presence. From there, we agree on the scope, delivery plan and measures that matter to your business. Research and strategy guide the creative and technical work, while reporting helps connect marketing activity with traffic, enquiries and sales.

Ongoing support: For businesses that need a continuing partner, our retainers bring creative, technical and marketing work into one coordinated relationship. Projects can also focus on a specific website, campaign or brand requirement.

AI tools support research, production and reporting, with experienced people responsible for strategy, creative judgment and quality control.

Success stories

Challenge

ISTQB, the global software-testing certification body, had certification levels, specialist streams, syllabi, exam providers and member boards spread across many places. The site needed to serve newcomers exploring qualifications as well as experienced users looking for specific documents or regional providers.

Solution

We rebuilt the information architecture and UX into one responsive platform, with search and filtering, document state management, and clear routes to member boards and exam providers.

Result

Over 12 months (Aug 2025 to Aug 2026): 936,208 Google Search clicks (up 187% YoY), 1.29M sessions (up 451%) and 618,070 users (up 544%). Organic search now drives 62% of all traffic.

Challenge

Redox One needed visitors to understand the long-duration energy storage problem before they could see the value of its technology. Commercial audiences needed enough context to take partnership opportunities seriously.

Solution

We built a responsive website that connects the technology story to its commercial context, with system render visuals, benefit-focused modules and a dedicated partnership enquiry path.

Result

Over 12 months (Aug 2025 to Aug 2026): 15,378 sessions (up 234% YoY), 12,267 users (up 233%) and 1,569 Google Search clicks (up 166%). Average search position improved from 22.7 to 9.6.

Challenge

Old Mutual needed to make its free learning apps, Matric Live and Velle, relevant to South African high school students. Traditional ads don't reach teens where they spend their time, so the goal was to build awareness on TikTok with content students would actually watch, share and take part in, while keeping the brand visible and on-message.

Solution

We designed a national TikTok challenge, #OMRockYourMatric, with a R90,000 prize pool across 9 winners. We shortlisted and briefed 19 nano and micro influencers (teachers, tutors, radio hosts and creators), produced a creative brief and branded sticker packs, reviewed every video before it went live, and managed entries, judging and influencer payments end to end.

Result

The campaign reached 8.8 million people and was directly responsible for over 350,000 signups to Old Mutual's education apps. The #OMRockYourMatric hashtag hit 5.8M views, and 19 influencers posted 24 videos to a combined audience of 2.2M, generating 168K organic views and 7K likes. One teacher's post alone drove 565 shares, and 15 student entries added 13K views of user-generated content.

Absolutely incredible team! Geeklab has been building three websites for me, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, they’ve been professional, friendly, and incredibly supportive. They take the time to do extensive market research to really understand what the competition is doing, which has helped us make informed, strategic decisions for the best possible results. What I especially appreciate is how they break everything down in a way that’s easy to understand, even though this isn’t my area of expertise. The whole process has felt smooth, collaborative, and even fun — something I never expected to say about building websites! If you're looking for a team that combines expertise, creativity, and genuine care, I highly recommend Geeklab. They’re truly amazing at what they do.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with several members of the Geeklab team on various projects, including web design, branding, and social media. Regardless of who assisted us, the experience has always been consistent - professional, friendly, and prompt. Geeklab ensures you’re always in good hands and I look forward to our biweekly meetings with them.
