Lean Search

Based in Vacoas-Phoenix, Mauritius, Lean Search is a small team (1-10 people) founded in 2019, describing itself as the first SEO/SEM agency in the country. It works across four markets — Mauritius, the UK, France and Australia — serving sectors such as real estate, hospitality, hotels, SaaS, fintech and banking, ecommerce, retail malls, leisure, beauty, and automotive. Clients range from Mauritian SMEs to hotel groups operating across multiple continents, and the agency positions itself for growth-stage companies scaling search demand as well as established brands defending market position. The agency limits its offering to two disciplines: SEO and Google Ads, run on what it calls the same data spine so the two channels inform each other. SEO work covers keyword research, technical audits, content planning, page-speed, link-building, AI-Overview/GEO optimisation, copywriting and translation. Google Ads work spans search, display, YouTube, hotel ads, Shopping/PMax, lead generation, conversion tracking, bid management and remarketing. Engagements follow a four-step methodology — audit, strategy, execution and optimisation — starting with a written roadmap, moving through content and technical execution in cycles, and closing with monthly review against that roadmap to double down on what performs and prune what doesn't. Work is also carried out in both English and French, including hreflang implementation for multilingual and multi-market sites.
