Digital marketing tips for Kenyan businesses

Practical guides on SEO, ads and social media for clinics, restaurants, real estate and schools.

Clinics

How Nairobi clinics can get more patients from Google

Patients search for things like "dentist Kilimani" before they book. If your clinic is not visible, they cannot choose you.

Read the key steps
  • Claim your Google Business Profile: add services, hours, a WhatsApp link and recent photos.
  • Build a website with services, doctor profiles, insurance accepted, a map and a booking button. Add a privacy policy, since you collect personal details.
  • Create a page for each service and area, such as "Dental clinic in Kilimani".
  • Ask patients for reviews politely. Never reward reviews or share patient details in replies.
  • Add a "Book on WhatsApp" button and reply within 10 minutes.
  • Publish helpful health articles. Check the advertising rules for medical practitioners in Kenya first.

How to get more customers for your Nairobi restaurant

Diners discover you on Instagram or TikTok, check Google, then message on WhatsApp. Support every step.

Read the key steps
  • Complete your Google Business Profile with menu, hours, dish photos and a WhatsApp or call button.
  • Post short vertical videos: plating, the chef at work, a busy Friday night. Show your prices.
  • Write pages for "where to eat" searches, like nyama choma in Kilimani or brunch in Karen.
  • Take direct orders and bookings on WhatsApp and offer a small reason to order direct.
  • Invite small local food creators and ask them to disclose the partnership.
  • With permission, build a WhatsApp broadcast list for weekly specials.

Real estate

Real estate marketing in Kenya without relying only on portals

Portals bring serious buyers, but fees add up and your listing sits among hundreds. Build channels you own too.

Read the key steps
  • Set up a Google Business Profile that lists every neighbourhood you cover, and collect genuine reviews.
  • Publish neighbourhood pages (Kilimani, Ruaka, Kitengela) with prices, transport, schools and current listings.
  • Use clear photos, floor plans, exact pricing, a video walkthrough and a WhatsApp button on each listing.
  • Ask budget, location and timeline on enquiry forms to filter serious buyers.
  • Write a guide for diaspora buyers and offer video viewings. Always advise checking ownership with a lawyer.
  • Run small Facebook and Instagram ads to specific listings and track enquiries.

Schools

How Kenyan schools can increase admissions online before intake season

Parents compare schools online before visiting. A clear, mobile-friendly website and fast replies win enrolments.

Read the key steps
  • Show your curriculum (CBC, IGCSE or other), admission steps, fees or how to request them, term dates and a contact form.
  • Set up a Google Business Profile so you appear for "schools near me" and area searches.
  • Start campaigns 6 to 8 weeks before each intake with open-day dates and parent testimonials.
  • Explain what makes you different with real examples, and get consent before showing children in photos.
  • Assign one person to answer WhatsApp and form enquiries within a few hours and offer a visit date.
