Shout Local

Shout Local is a results-driven, South African lead generation agency specializing in cutting-edge Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tailored specifically for small businesses. Founded in June 2025 by Brad Taylor, the agency was born out of BRBD Marketing; which is one of South Africa’s leading lead generation agencies; after recognizing an urgent need for highly effective yet affordable local SEO services. Operating out of their offices in Somerset West, Western Cape, a dedicated team supports small, local companies nationwide, ensuring they stand out where customers are looking.

What sets Shout Local apart from traditional agencies is their forward-thinking focus on GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) alongside standard local SEO. As consumer habits shift from traditional Google searches to AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, Shout Local helps businesses diversify their digital footprint. By building strong online authority, optimizing website schema, and creating strategic "content cornerstones," they ensure their clients are the top-recommended service providers when AI models answer user queries.Shout Local structures its offerings around transparent, month-to-month contracts and accessible pricing packages (including their Lite and Growth monthly plans as well as one-off setups). Services include full AI digital footprint audits, business listing optimization, technical on-page website optimization, and consistent content creation paired with weekly performance reports. By bridging the gap between advanced AI visibility and small-business affordability, Shout Local helps local contractors, service providers, and tradespeople organically connect with the right clients at the exact moment they are needed.
