Local conditions

What makes AI visibility different in Gauteng

Procurement teams now start inside an assistant

Gauteng runs on business-to-business buying. A procurement officer sourcing a supplier begins by asking an assistant to name options, then works down that list. Industrial suppliers, engineering firms, logistics operators and specialist contractors get filtered before a human opens a browser tab.

Sandton's professional services sit in a crowded field

An assistant asked to name auditors, consultants or corporate attorneys in Johannesburg must reduce hundreds of near-identical firms to three. It favours firms publishing named sector experience and checkable results over firms describing themselves in the same language as their competitors.

Mining and industrial buyers ask technical questions

Queries from this sector carry specification detail, not generic phrasing. Answer engines match that detail against the words on your pages. Sites written in marketing language lose to sites that publish real specifications, tolerances and standards.

Copilot adoption is rising fastest in local enterprise

Microsoft Copilot use across South African enterprise climbed from 62 to 74 percent through 2025, and Gauteng holds the bulk of that corporate seat count. Copilot reads the Bing index, which makes Bing visibility a live commercial question for anyone selling into Johannesburg corporates.

Scope and pricing

Three scopes, stated prices

AI Visibility Audit · R 3,450.00

We ask 20 buying-intent questions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, Meta AI and Grok, then record who the engines name today. You receive the raw results, a crawler access check, a Bing AI Performance baseline and a prioritised fix list. Credited in full against the Foundation scope if you book within 60 days.

Visibility Foundation · R 8,650.00

The audit plus the work it recommends. Crawler access configured per engine, up to six priority pages rewritten to match how your buyers phrase questions, your business facts made consistent across the web, one evidence asset built from real numbers, and a 60-day re-test against your baseline.

Citation Tracking · R 1,850.00 per quarter

The same 20 questions re-run each quarter so the numbers stay comparable, reported against your baseline with one prioritised recommendation. Requires the Foundation scope first.

What we cannot guarantee

Placement. No engine sells a route into its cited sources, so nobody can promise you a citation.
Stability. Ask the same question twice and the source list can change. We test 20 questions across eight engines to average that out.
Speed. Published research puts domain-level authority at six times the weight of the best page-level fix, so this work compounds over quarters.
Full measurement. Bing reports AI citations to South African site owners today. Google's equivalent report has reached the UK, India, Switzerland and the US, and has not arrived here.

The full written list of limits, including the work we refuse to sell, sits on the main service page.

Practicalities

How we work with Johannesburg clients

IDJoy is based in Gauteng. Briefing and handover meetings happen in person across Johannesburg, Pretoria and Midrand at no added travel cost. Clients who prefer video calls get those instead.

The audit, rewriting and testing run the same way regardless of meeting format. Being local shortens the briefing, and it means you can put a face to the person doing the work.

Prices on this page match our Cape Town and national pricing. We do not discount for proximity or add a premium for distance.
