Built in Nairobi. Designed for the realities of Kenyan search.
CaptivArt launched in 2025 after Kevin O. Milo spent eight years running SEO and PPC programs for refrigeration, construction, and education brands across Kenya. The throughline was clear: local teams needed page-one visibility, but also technical depth and reporting rigor they weren’t getting from overseas agencies.
Today we run the full stack—technical SEO, content operations, Google Ads, conversion copy, and Next.js builds—so Kenyan SMBs can go from audit to launch without juggling five vendors. Every retainer includes weekly sprint notes, live dashboards, and a backlog your in-house team can plug into.
