About the Programme
One programme, two kinds of expertise.
The Absa SME Digital Presence Package brings together Absa Bank Kenya's commitment to supporting business growth and Africa 118's digital presence and local search expertise.
“We help your business get found, trusted and chosen online.”
Our Purpose
Easier to discover. Easier to trust. Easier to contact.
We help Kenyan SMEs become easier to discover, easier to trust and easier to contact online - starting with the places customers already search.
LOCAL SEARCH
Business listings, Google Business Profile management and local visibility across the platforms customers use.
DIGITAL PRESENCE
Accurate business information, content updates, review management and reporting through your subscription.
About Africa 118
Our Story
Africa 118 helps businesses across Africa manage and improve their digital presence, including business listings, local search visibility, websites, digital advertising and other digital solutions.
Africa 118 was established in 2010 with a clear mission: to empower Africa's digital landscape. At the time, most mobile phone users could not find accurate information about local businesses, and very few businesses had an established online presence - so customers could not discover the products and services they were looking for.
Learn More"Having an online presence today is as important as having a telephone number. Consumers in Africa are looking for businesses online in a big way - any business that is missing risks becoming obsolete. Which business, today, could operate without a telephone number?"
