Local SEO guide for Polokwane businesses

When someone in Polokwane searches for a plumber, a used car or a flat to rent, Google shows pages that clearly match both the thing and the place. Here's how to make sure your ads and business on Only Ads are the ones that show up.

1. Post in the right category and suburb

Every ad is listed on a page for its category in Polokwane. Pick the most specific category and your exact suburb — "Plumbing in Polokwane" beats a generic "Services" ad. These are the Polokwane category pages buyers land on:

2. Get listed in your suburb's directory

Businesses with an address, opening hours and a Google link appear on their suburb page and in our business directory with a map. It's free — list your business and choose your Polokwane suburb. Browse all Polokwane suburbs.

3. Complete your Google Business profile

Use the same business name, address and phone number everywhere — on Google, on Only Ads and on your own site.
Choose an accurate primary category and set your service area to the Polokwane suburbs you actually serve.
Keep opening hours current, including public holidays.
Add real photos of your premises, team and work.
Ask happy customers for reviews and reply to every one.
Paste your Google Business link into your Only Ads business details so buyers can check you out.

4. Write ads people want to click

Put what you sell and "Polokwane" or your suburb in the title, add several clear photos and write a full description with prices and what's included. See our guide to writing a great ad.
