01
Local office in Lagos

Our Lagos team operates in the Nigerian market daily — not advisors parachuting in from London. We understand local buyer behaviour, platform nuances, and what actually works here.

02
NGN pricing available

We invoice in Nigerian Naira for Nigerian clients, removing the currency friction that makes working with international agencies painful.

03
Nigerian platform expertise

Meta, Google, and TikTok advertising in Nigeria requires different audience strategies, creative approaches, and bidding tactics than UK markets. We've built these playbooks.

04
Data-driven, not just data-aware

Clean attribution before any campaign runs. Every decision backed by numbers you can trust — pidgin-aware content strategy and Google Business Profile optimisation for Lagos and Abuja included.

05
Cross-border capability

If your business operates in both Nigeria and the UK — or plans to expand — our dual-office model means you have one partner managing both markets coherently.

06
Revenue you can count on

Spiky results are worse than slow ones. A good month followed by a dead one tells you nothing and panics your investors. We build attribution and channel systems designed to produce consistent, forecastable revenue — the kind you can put in a board deck and actually stand behind.

New — GEO for Nigeria

Your customers are asking AI.
Is your brand the answer?

Nigerian consumers and business buyers increasingly use ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews to find products, compare services, and make purchase decisions. Most Nigerian brands are completely invisible in these results. We fix that.

What is GEO?

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the practice of making your brand appear in AI-generated answers — not just Google's blue links. When someone asks ChatGPT "what's the best lending app in Lagos?" or Perplexity "which health insurance is trusted in Nigeria?" — GEO determines whether your brand is mentioned.

Why it matters in Nigeria now

AI search adoption in Nigeria is growing faster than the UK. A generation of mobile-first, AI-native Nigerian buyers — particularly in fintech, ecommerce, and healthcare — is already making decisions using AI tools. The brands optimising for this today will be the ones AI recommends tomorrow.

67%

of Nigerian internet users aged 18–35 have used an AI assistant to research a purchase in the last 6 months

What we do
🔍
AI Visibility Audit

We ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, and Claude the questions your ideal Nigerian customers are already asking — and show you exactly where your brand appears, and where it doesn't.

✍️
Authority Content Architecture

AI models cite authoritative, well-structured content. We build the content infrastructure — thought leadership, data studies, and expert commentary — that makes AI engines trust and recommend your brand.

🔗
Citation & Source Building

We get your brand cited, mentioned, and linked from the publications, forums, and data sources that AI models learn from — including Nigerian tech media, industry directories, and trusted databases.

📊
GEO Performance Tracking

We track your brand's AI visibility monthly across all major AI engines — showing you when you appear, for which queries, and how your share of AI recommendations grows over time.

What most Lagos startups
get wrong about marketing.

Running paid ads with broken tracking

Most Lagos startups launch Meta and Google campaigns before their conversion tracking is working correctly. The result: you're optimising for the wrong signals, wasting budget, and have no idea what's actually working. We fix the tracking before we spend a naira on ads.

Treating all leads as equal

Not all enquiries are the same. A Lagos real estate developer we worked with was celebrating 200 leads a month — but only 8 were genuinely qualified buyers. Without lead scoring, your sales team drowns in noise. We build qualification systems that separate real intent from casual browsing.

Over-relying on Instagram for B2B

Instagram works brilliantly for consumer brands. But for B2B SaaS, fintech, and professional services targeting Lagos decision-makers, the platform rarely delivers the right audience at scale. We build multi-channel strategies that match your buyer to the right platform.

No attribution between marketing and revenue

Most Nigerian businesses track "impressions" and "reach" but can't tell you which campaign drove their last 10 sales. Without clean attribution, you can't scale what works or cut what doesn't. Clean attribution is the foundation of everything we build.

Ignoring organic search for Nigerian queries

Organic search in Nigeria is massively underused. High-intent queries like "fintech startup Lagos" or "real estate agent Abuja" have real search volume and low competition. Businesses that invest in local SEO now will own these rankings for years.

Scaling spend before fixing conversion rate

The most expensive mistake: spending more on ads when the landing page, pricing page, or onboarding flow is leaking. We always audit the funnel before recommending budget increases — because more traffic to a broken page is just more expensive failure.

Questions from Lagos &
Abuja founders.

Do you offer startup lead generation services in Lagos?
+

Yes. Paid acquisition, SEO, and CRO all feed into a lead generation system built for your specific audience. We build the full funnel — not just run ads.

Can I hire a growth marketer in Lagos through Mowsix?
+

We're not a recruitment agency, but our embedded model gives you senior growth expertise without a full-time hire. Most clients find this cheaper and faster than recruiting — you get a team with deep playbooks instead of one person learning on the job.

Do you have a physical office in Lagos?
+

Yes — Mowsix operates from Lagos, Nigeria and Coventry, United Kingdom. Your engagement is led by a senior strategist based in Lagos, not managed remotely from the UK. You get local market expertise with international methodology.

Can you invoice in Nigerian Naira (NGN)?
+

Yes. We invoice Nigerian clients in NGN, removing the currency conversion friction that makes working with international agencies painful. Rates are agreed at onboarding and reviewed periodically.

Do you work with early-stage Nigerian startups?
+

Yes — our Launch plan is designed for early-stage businesses that need clean tracking foundations and a first growth channel. We are honest if your budget is below what's needed for meaningful results, and we will tell you upfront.

What industries do you have the most experience with in Nigeria?
+

Fintech, real estate (Lagos and Abuja residential developers and letting agencies), ecommerce, SaaS products targeting Nigerian businesses, and healthcare. We have built specific playbooks for each of these verticals in the Nigerian context.

How is working with Mowsix different from a local Nigerian agency?
+

Most Nigerian agencies optimise for activity — posts, campaigns, impressions. We optimise for revenue. Every engagement starts with a measurement audit, and every decision is backed by attribution data. You will always know exactly what is working and why.

Can you help us expand from Nigeria into the UK market?
+

Yes. Our dual-office model — Lagos and Coventry — means we can run cross-border growth programmes that work in both markets simultaneously. This is particularly relevant for fintech and SaaS products looking to enter the UK.

How long before we see results in the Nigerian market?
+

Tracking and attribution fixes typically land in weeks 2–4. Paid channel improvements usually show measurable CAC improvement by month 2. SEO and organic growth compoundsmore slowly — expect meaningful results from month 4 onwards.

Do you understand how Nigerian consumers behave online differently?
+

Absolutely. Nigerian buyers research differently, trust signals matter more, and platform preferences vary by audience. We build campaigns that reflect local buying psychology — not templates copied from UK or US playbooks.
