English and Swahili

People in Kenya search in English and Swahili. Give each its own page and link them with hreflang: en-KE sw-KE. Engine checks that every language version points to the others.

Local search

One page per place you serve: Nairobi, Mombasa, Diani, Nakuru, Kisumu and Naivasha. Each with your address, opening hours and a map link in structured data (LocalBusiness), and the city in its title.

Prices and phone numbers

Show prices in KES with the currency code in your structured data, and phone numbers as +254 โ€ฆ, so search results and WhatsApp can use them.

Fast on mobile data

Most searches in Kenya happen on phones. Engine measures real visitorsโ€™ speed (LCP, CLS, INP) and flags heavy pages, images and scripts.

Payments people trust

M-Pesa is universal โ€” most hosts, drivers and operators are paid by phone. Say so on your pages and in paymentAccepted, because it is what buyers look for.

A .ke domain, or not

.ke tells search engines your site is for Kenya. On a .com, use hreflang and a local address and number instead. Engine checks both.
