Where the public evidence points
Truehost is primarily a hosting and digital-infrastructure provider with an additional local-search and web-delivery offer. Its strongest procurement evidence is commercial: a published monthly local-SEO catalogue, defined Google Business Profile and citation deliverables, and the ability to bundle website and hosting operations. Buyers should distinguish the KES 6,500 headline monthly price from discounted long-term equivalents and test whether the SEO delivery depth matches a specialist agency.

Questions for the sales call
- Confirm whether the selected price is month-to-month or requires a longer prepaid term, and compare the full invoice including tax and renewal.
- Ask which technical and on-site fixes are included beyond Google Business Profile and citation work, and who implements them.
- Request a current local-business example with Maps visibility, calls or enquiries measured against a dated baseline.
What this profile does not prove
- Truehost's public local-SEO performance and customer-count claims are first-party marketing statements and were not independently audited.
- The directory uses the KES 6,500 headline monthly starter price, not the lower monthly equivalent that requires triennial billing.
- A current SEO delivery-team size is not published, so capacity receives no score points despite the wider company's operating scale.
