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
Proof
From sceptical to doubled in twelve months
One client was paying over R150,000 a month elsewhere and getting underwhelming results. When they saw our R60k retainer, they were convinced we'd underdeliver. We took the account, and grew their sales by over 100% in 12 months.

How it works
No hard sell. Just a straight path to more leads.
We're selective on purpose. Here's how we find out if we're right for each other.
01
Discovery call
A straight conversation about your business and goals. You learn how we work; we learn whether we can actually help. No pressure, no scripted pitch.
02
Free audit
If we're a good fit, we dig in and show you exactly where leads are leaking, and the fastest path to more of them. Yours to keep, either way.
03
Partnership
We execute and report on what matters: leads and profit. Month to month. 30 days' notice, any time. We earn the relationship every month.
What we do
Lead generation first. Everything else serves it.
A website is one piece of the puzzle. The real work is the marketing engine behind it, and we build the whole thing around results.

Our story
Real people. Not a faceless agency.
The Weblab started in 2009, in my one-bedroom granny flat, with zero clients, zero capital, and nothing but a computer, an internet connection, and the ability to build a website.
Fifteen-plus years later, what started as just me is a small, senior team of marketers, and we've grown The Weblab using the very strategies we now run for our clients. Building something from nothing teaches you exactly what's riding on a business like yours.
So we treat your growth like our own, we turn down work we can't move the needle on, and you deal directly with the people doing the work, every step of the way.
