G-Lab Studios builds websites that rank on Google and brings in enquiries for businesses across Kiambu County. We are based in Kikuyu, so Kiambu is not a service area we bolted onto a Nairobi pitch. It is where we work, and most first meetings are a short drive away.

Whether you sell tea supplies in Limuru, run a clinic in Kikuyu, rent out houses in Ruiru or supply a factory in Thika, the job is the same: be the business people find when they search on their phones, and make it easy for them to call, WhatsApp or pay.

Kiambu County is twelve markets, not one

Kiambu County has twelve sub-counties: Limuru, Kikuyu, Kabete, Lari, Kiambaa, Kiambu, Githunguri, Gatundu North, Gatundu South, Ruiru, Juja and Thika Town. Kiambu Town is the county headquarters, but Thika has the largest local economy. Much of the county borders Nairobi and many residents commute in daily, so your customers compare you with Nairobi businesses while still searching for someone close by.

That is why a copy of a Nairobi website does not work here. A dairy supplier in Limuru and a clinic in Ruiru should not share a template, a keyword list or a Google profile.

Area	What drives business there	What your website needs to do
Ruiru and Juja	A fast-growing corridor on the Thika Superhighway, with new housing, universities and colleges, and a large SME base.	Show up for “service + town” searches, appear on Google Maps through local SEO, take enquiries by WhatsApp.
Thika	The county’s largest economy, with major manufacturers and food processors.	B2B catalogues, quote forms, a company profile that holds up in procurement checks.
Kikuyu and Limuru	Mixed residential and farming areas. Kikuyu has hospitals, schools and a research institute; Limuru has tea estates, a large shoe factory and milk processing.	Trust-building sites for clinics, schools and agribusiness: clear services, contacts and proof.
Kiambu Town, Kiambaa and Ruaka	County headquarters, plus commuter estates along the Northern Bypass and Limuru Road.	Restaurants, shops and service providers that need to be found by people living or passing nearby.
Gatundu and Githunguri	Market-town trade and farming.	Simple, fast sites and M-Pesa-ready shops with strong social proof.

Why a Kiambu-based studio

We come to you. We meet clients at their business, so you do not have to travel into Nairobi to brief a designer.
We test on the phones your customers use. Every site is checked on a mid-range Android phone over mobile data, not only on a fast office laptop.
SEO is part of the build. Page structure, titles, speed, Google Business Profile and tracking are set up before launch, not sold as an add-on afterwards. See how our technical SEO and on-page SEO
One team, one look. The people who design your website also shoot your photos and manage your social pages, so your brand looks the same everywhere.
You own everything. Your domain, site files and content stay yours.
Paying is simple. M-Pesa accepted, instalments available, and a fixed quote before any work starts.

Businesses we build for in Kiambu County

Industry	The Kiambu angle
Real estate	Ruiru, Juja and Kamakis have strong housing demand from people leaving Nairobi. Agents and developers need listing pages that load fast on a phone and a WhatsApp button on every property.
Restaurants and hospitality	Kamakis is known as Nairobi’s nyama choma belt. Menus, Google Maps listings and WhatsApp bookings decide who fills the tables.
Clinics and dental	Clinics in Kikuyu, Ruiru and Thika compete for patients with Nairobi hospitals. Booking forms, clear service pages and reviews matter most.
Schools and colleges	The Ruiru, Juja and Thika corridor hosts many schools and campuses. Parents and students search by fees, location and admissions, so the site has to answer those quickly.
Manufacturers and suppliers	Thika and Ruiru host major factories. Buyers want product catalogues, specifications and a quote form, plus a profile that passes procurement checks.
Construction and facilities	Growth along the bypasses keeps contractors and suppliers busy. A portfolio, certifications and a quote request form win tenders and referrals.
Agribusiness and agrovets	Tea, coffee and dairy remain part of the county economy, especially around Limuru and Githunguri. Catalogues and WhatsApp ordering suit this market.
Retail and online shops	A shop in any county town can sell across Kiambu with M-Pesa checkout and delivery zones. See our e-commerce development.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website cost in Kiambu County?

Our projects start from KES 15,000 for a one-page site and KES 45,000 for a full business website. Online stores start from KES 70,000. After a short call you receive a fixed quote before any work begins, and you can pay by M-Pesa or in instalments.

Do you only work in Ruiru?

No. We work across Kiambu County, including Ruiru, Juja, Thika, Kikuyu, Limuru, Kiambu Town, Ruaka and Gatundu. We are based in Kikuyu and can also work remotely with clients anywhere in Kenya.

Will you come to my business for the first meeting?

Yes, for businesses in Kiambu County. We would rather see your shop, clinic or yard than guess from a phone call. We also do quick calls on WhatsApp or phone if that suits you better.

I already have a Facebook page. Do I still need a website?

Yes, if you want customers to find you on Google. A Facebook page rarely shows up for searches like “dentist in Kikuyu” or “supplier in Thika”. A website with a Google Business Profile does, and it also gives you a place for prices, services and proof that you own. Learn how local SEO works.

How long does it take to rank on Google?

For low-competition local searches, most sites start moving within 2 to 4 months. Competitive terms take longer. We give an honest estimate after an audit, and we never guarantee rankings because no one honestly can. See our SEO services.

Can I take M-Pesa payments on my website?

Yes. Online stores can accept M-Pesa, cards and other options through a payment provider such as Pesapal or Flutterwave. We set it up and test it before launch. See our e-commerce websites.

Do I own my website?

Yes. You keep full ownership of your domain, website, content and files.

Can you handle my website and my social media together?

Yes, and it works better that way. One team means your website, social pages, photos and design match, and your content supports your SEO.
