Our Story

Back in 2019, I was working as a consultant for various South African businesses when I noticed something troubling. Companies were throwing money at SEO agencies who promised the world but delivered generic solutions that barely moved the needle. The technical side of SEO—the foundation that actually determines whether your site can rank—was being treated as an afterthought.

That's when we decided to build Studynetharilune. Not another cookie-cutter SEO agency, but a technical platform that could diagnose and fix the deep-rooted issues preventing websites from reaching their potential. We started in a small office here in Vanderbijlpark, armed with nothing but determination and a conviction that South African businesses deserved better.

What began as a two-person operation has grown into something we're genuinely proud of. We've helped hundreds of businesses across South Africa transform their online presence, not through shortcuts or quick fixes, but by building solid technical foundations that last.

Our Mission

We exist to democratize technical SEO knowledge and tools for South African businesses. Too many companies struggle with websites that look great but perform poorly in search engines because the technical infrastructure is broken.

Our platform identifies and resolves these hidden issues—from crawl errors and site speed problems to schema markup and mobile optimization gaps. We believe every business should have access to enterprise-level SEO insights without enterprise-level costs.

Transparency in every recommendation and report
Education-first approach to client relationships
Local expertise with global SEO standards
Continuous innovation in technical SEO solutions

Our Vision

We envision a South African digital landscape where technical SEO barriers don't determine business success. Where a small retailer in Durban has the same technical advantages as a multinational corporation, and where understanding your website's performance doesn't require a computer science degree.

By 2027, we want Studynetharilune to be the go-to platform for any South African business serious about their online presence. Not just for SEO professionals, but for business owners who want to understand and control their digital destiny.
