small businesses in Kenya means using online channels \u2014 social media, SEO, WhatsApp, and Google Ads \u2014 to reach customers and generate leads without the cost of traditional advertising. Kenya&#8217;s digital marketing market grows by 15\u201320% each year, and internet users now total over 25 million people, representing roughly 50% of the population. The most effective starting point for a small business is a mobile-first presence on Facebook or WhatsApp, paired with a Google Business Profile. For businesses that want a steady pipeline of ready-to-buy customers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadspro.co.ke\/register\">Sign up free<\/a> on LeadsPro \u2014 a platform built specifically to connect Kenyan businesses with verified local leads.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction\"><\/span>Introduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Every day, a jua kali furniture maker in Kamukunji loses a customer to a competitor who simply had a WhatsApp Business profile and posted a photo. That is the gap digital marketing closes. Digital marketing for small businesses in Kenya is not about big budgets or complex technology \u2014 it is about showing up where your customers already are. Facebook has 11 million users in Kenya, TikTok has 7 million, and Instagram has 6 million, with high daily activity across all platforms. The difference between businesses that grow and those that stall is not product quality. It is visibility.<\/p>\n<p>This page is different from the others you just scrolled past because it focuses entirely on what actually works for small Kenyan businesses \u2014 not multinational brands, not Nairobi-based corporates. You will find real costs in Kenya shillings, a step-by-step action plan, and the one strategy most guides miss completely. Read on to understand exactly what digital marketing is and why your business cannot afford to skip it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Digital_Marketing_for_Small_Businesses\"><\/span>What Is Digital Marketing for Small Businesses?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Digital marketing for small businesses is the use of online platforms and tools to attract, engage, and convert customers \u2014 replacing or supplementing traditional word-of-mouth, flyers, and classified ads. For a Kenyan small business, it typically covers social media marketing, search engine optimisation (SEO), WhatsApp marketing, Google Ads, and email or SMS campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>It matters in Kenya because Kenyan internet users spend an average of 4 hours and 7 minutes daily on social media \u2014 the highest average globally, sitting 73% above the world average of 2 hours 23 minutes. Your customers are already online. The question is whether they find you or your competitor first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Digital Marketing Channels for Small Businesses in Kenya (2026)<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Channel<\/th>\n<th>Monthly Cost (KES)<\/th>\n<th>Best For<\/th>\n<th>Avg.

If your business is not part of that conversation, you are invisible to this buyer.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what the data says about the opportunity:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There were 23.4 million internet users in Kenya as of October 2025, representing 40.5% of the total population \u2014 and that number grows every month as affordable smartphones reach more households.<\/li>\n<li>Mobile phone penetration reaches 95% of adults in Kenya, meaning most people use smartphones to access social media and websites. Any business without a mobile-optimised presence loses more than half its potential audience before they even read a word.<\/li>\n<li>Research on MSMEs in Tharaka-Nithi County, Kenya, found that digital marketing accounted for 38.8% of performance variance in small businesses \u2014 meaning businesses that used digital marketing consistently outperformed those that did not.<\/li>\n<li>SMEs are the backbone of the Kenyan economy, employing over 80% of the working population. Yet most still rely on word-of-mouth and physical signage, leaving online customers entirely untapped.<\/li>\n<li>Around 58% of small businesses globally rely on digital marketing to connect with their customers, and for every KES 1 spent on digital marketing, businesses typically earn KES 5 in return.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can read more about Kenya&#8217;s business landscape at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.knbs.or.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kenya National Bureau of Statistics<\/a> and stay current with industry shifts at <a href=\"https:\/\/nation.africa\/kenya\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nation Africa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The next section breaks down the specific types of digital marketing that deliver results for small Kenyan businesses \u2014 and which ones to prioritise when your budget is tight.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Digital_Marketing_That_Work_for_Small_Businesses_in_Kenya\"><\/span>Types of Digital Marketing That Work for Small Businesses in Kenya<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Social_Media_Marketing_Facebook_TikTok_Instagram\"><\/span>Social Media Marketing (Facebook, TikTok, Instagram)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Social media continues to dominate Kenya&#8217;s digital space in 2026, with short-form video content exploding as one of the most profitable channels for Kenyan brands. For a small business, Facebook remains the highest-reach platform. Post consistently, respond to comments within 2 hours, and use Facebook Marketplace as a free storefront. TikTok is growing fast among under-35 buyers and costs nothing to start.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WhatsApp_Business_Marketing\"><\/span>WhatsApp Business Marketing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>WhatsApp is where Kenyans actually make buying decisions. A verified WhatsApp Business account with a product catalogue, automated greetings, and a quick-reply menu turns every phone conversation into a sales touchpoint. Approximately 80% of Kenyan internet users are active on WhatsApp, making it the highest-penetration marketing channel available to any small business \u2014 and it is free.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Search_Engine_Optimisation_SEO_and_Google_My_Business\"><\/span>Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Google My Business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Google dominates search traffic in Kenya, so ranking high leads to high-intent organic traffic \u2014 people searching for exactly what you sell. Claiming your free Google Business Profile takes 15 minutes and immediately puts your business on Google Maps. For service businesses in Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, or Kisumu, this single step generates calls and walk-ins with zero ad spend.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_Ads_Pay-Per-Click\"><\/span>Google Ads (Pay-Per-Click)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Google Ads delivers buyers who are already searching for your product. You pay per click, not per impression. For every KES 1 spent on PPC advertising, businesses receive KES 2 in return on average \u2014 a reliable channel for businesses with a clear product and a defined target customer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Email_and_SMS_Marketing\"><\/span>Email and SMS Marketing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Email marketing generates KES 36\u201342 in return for every KES 1 spent, making it the highest ROI channel available. For Kenyan small businesses, SMS marketing pairs well with email \u2014 bulk SMS reaches customers with no smartphone or data connection required, covering the gap in rural or lower-income audiences.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Content_Marketing_and_Blogging\"><\/span>Content Marketing and Blogging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Publishing useful blog content on your website brings free organic traffic from Google over time. A hardware store in Thika that writes &#8220;how to tile a bathroom in Kenya&#8221; will rank on page one within months and get calls from buyers who never saw an ad. This channel requires patience but zero media budget once the content is live.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lead_Generation_Platforms_Category_C_%E2%80%94_The_Gap_Most_Businesses_Miss\"><\/span>Lead Generation Platforms (Category C \u2014 The Gap Most Businesses Miss)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Unlike the channels above, dedicated Kenyan lead generation platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadspro.co.ke\/register\">LeadsPro<\/a> match your business directly with pre-qualified buyers in your niche \u2014 removing the guesswork of targeting entirely.

THE FIX: Schedule 3 posts per week using free tools like Meta Business Suite&#8217;s scheduling feature \u2014 10 minutes every Sunday sets up the whole week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MISTAKE: Using the same content for every platform<\/strong> WHY IT HAPPENS: Owners copy-paste from WhatsApp to Facebook to TikTok without adapting format. THE FIX: Short vertical video works on TikTok and Instagram Reels; horizontal photo-with-text works on Facebook; voice notes and catalogues work on WhatsApp. Adapt the same message, not copy the same post.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MISTAKE: Running ads without a clear offer<\/strong> WHY IT HAPPENS: Businesses boost posts that say &#8220;We sell X&#8221; without telling the buyer what to do or why to act now. THE FIX: Every ad needs one action (message us, click link, call now) and one reason to act today (limited stock, free delivery this weekend, first order discount).<\/p>\n<p><strong>MISTAKE: Targeting &#8220;all of Kenya&#8221; instead of a specific location<\/strong> WHY IT HAPPENS: Owners think bigger audience = more customers. THE FIX: If you deliver within Nairobi, target Nairobi only. A KES 5,000 budget targeting Nairobi outperforms the same budget targeting all of Kenya by 5\u201310x in cost per lead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MISTAKE: Ignoring Google Business Profile<\/strong> WHY IT HAPPENS: Owners focus on paid social and miss the free local search channel entirely. THE FIX: Claim your Google Business Profile today at business.google.com. A fully completed profile with photos generates calls and direction requests at zero cost.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MISTAKE: Not following up on online inquiries fast enough<\/strong> WHY IT HAPPENS: Owners treat WhatsApp messages like emails \u2014 replying hours or days later. THE FIX: A buyer who messages you at 8pm expects a reply by 8pm. Set up WhatsApp Business auto-replies for after-hours messages so no lead goes cold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MISTAKE: Measuring followers instead of leads<\/strong> WHY IT HAPPENS: Follower count is visible and feels like progress. THE FIX: Measure cost per lead, number of inquiries per week, and conversion rate from inquiry to sale. A page with 500 followers that generates 20 inquiries a week beats a page with 10,000 followers generating 3.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Lead_Generation_Gap_Why_Most_Kenyan_Small_Businesses_Spend_on_Marketing_but_Get_No_Customers\"><\/span>The Lead Generation Gap: Why Most Kenyan Small Businesses Spend on Marketing but Get No Customers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is the section no competitor in this niche addresses directly \u2014 and it is the most expensive mistake small businesses in Kenya make.<\/p>\n<p>Most digital marketing advice teaches you how to get traffic: more followers, more reach, more impressions. What it does not teach is the difference between traffic and a qualified lead. A qualified lead is someone who has the money, the intent, and the timeline to buy your product right now. Everything else is noise.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what happens in practice: a small business in Nakuru runs Facebook ads for a month, spends KES 20,000, gets 4,000 impressions, 120 clicks, and 8 messages. Of those 8, three are from people asking for prices they cannot afford, two never reply again, two are from competitors checking your offer, and one becomes a paying customer. The cost per customer: KES 20,000. That is not marketing failure \u2014 that is targeting failure.<\/p>\n<p>The fix is not better ads. It is starting with pre-qualified leads.<\/p>\n<p>AI-powered targeting can reduce customer acquisition costs by up to 60%, yet most SMEs in Africa are not yet using data-backed frameworks to structure their paid media campaigns. In Kenya specifically, the gap between running ads and actually generating buyers is filled by platforms that connect businesses to people who have already demonstrated buying intent.<\/p>\n<p>This is why lead generation platforms matter for small Kenyan businesses in a way that broad digital marketing cannot replicate. Instead of paying for eyeballs, you pay (or in many cases, sign up free) to access buyers who are already looking. A business that combines a strong WhatsApp presence and Google Business Profile with a verified lead source spends less, converts more, and grows faster than one relying on social media reach alone.<\/p>\n<p>The practical starting point: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadspro.co.ke\/register\">Sign up free<\/a> on LeadsPro, complete your business profile with your service area and product category, and you begin receiving inquiries from potential customers in your area \u2014 without running a single ad. Most small businesses in Kenya have never heard of this model. The ones that have are already ahead.<\/p>\n<p>For context: Kenya&#8217;s digital economy contributed 7.7% to national GDP, and the mobile ecosystem alone contributed KES 1.2 trillion to Kenya&#8217;s GDP in 2023. The buyers are there. The question is whether your business has a direct line to them or is still waiting for followers to turn into customers.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Future_Trends_in_Digital_Marketing_for_Small_Businesses_in_Kenya\"><\/span>Future Trends in Digital Marketing for Small Businesses in Kenya<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. AI-Generated Content and Targeting<\/strong> AI-powered targeting can reduce customer acquisition costs by up to 60% according to McKinsey, yet most African SMEs use AI only for basic content creation \u2014 missing its real power in audience segmentation and predictive lead scoring. By 2027, small Kenyan businesses that use AI tools for ad targeting will significantly outspend and out-convert those that do not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. TikTok and Short-Form Video Commerce<\/strong> TikTok now has 7 million users in Kenya, with 70% of users aged between 16 and 34. This is your next generation of buyers. Short product demonstration videos \u2014 under 30 seconds, shot on a phone \u2014 are already driving direct sales for food, clothing, and beauty businesses in Nairobi. TikTok Shop will reshape small business retail in Kenya within 24 months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. WhatsApp Business API and Chatbot Automation<\/strong> AI-driven chatbots are becoming more sophisticated, offering 24\/7 customer engagement and guiding customers through sales funnels on platforms like WhatsApp. A KES 24,000\/month chatbot setup can handle product inquiries, send quotes, and follow up on cold leads automatically \u2014 giving a one-person business the response speed of a full team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Hyperlocal Targeting and 5G Expansion<\/strong> Kenya&#8217;s digital market is expanding, fuelled by the 5G rollout, with a projected 15 million social media users by 2026. As 5G spreads beyond Nairobi to Kisumu, Mombasa, Eldoret, and Nakuru, hyperlocal ad targeting will become viable for small businesses in secondary cities that previously had poor returns on digital ads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Data Privacy and the Kenya Data Protection Act<\/strong> Kenya&#8217;s Data Protection Act requires you to get clear consent before collecting customer information. Businesses running WhatsApp campaigns, email lists, or lead forms need a basic privacy policy and an opt-in confirmation step. This is not a bureaucratic detail \u2014 violations carry fines and damage customer trust. Build compliance into your marketing from day one.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>QUICK POLL: Which digital marketing channel have you found most effective for your small business in Kenya? A) Facebook and Instagram Ads B) WhatsApp Business (organic) C) Google Business Profile \/ SEO D) Lead generation platforms<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_About_Digital_Marketing_for_Small_Businesses_in_Kenya\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions About Digital Marketing for Small Businesses in Kenya<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q: How much does digital marketing cost for a small business in Kenya?<\/strong> A: You can start for free using WhatsApp Business and Google Business Profile. Paid Facebook ads start from KES 500 per day. At the lower end, social media management in Kenya costs KES 10,000\u201330,000 per month, covering basic posting and monitoring on 1\u20132 platforms. Your first goal should be to generate leads before spending on management fees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Which social media platform is best for small businesses in Kenya?<\/strong> A: Facebook has the widest reach at roughly 7\u20138 million active users and the most mature ad platform for local businesses. WhatsApp has the highest conversion rate for direct sales. TikTok is fastest-growing among buyers under 35. Start with Facebook and WhatsApp together, then add TikTok once you have a content rhythm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can digital marketing work for a business outside Nairobi?<\/strong> A: Absolutely. Social media marketing services in Kenya now serve businesses nationwide \u2014 including Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret \u2014 and Facebook&#8217;s location targeting makes it possible to reach buyers in any specific town, not just the capital. Google Business Profile works in any Kenyan city with Google Maps coverage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: How long does it take to see results from digital marketing in Kenya?<\/strong> A: WhatsApp and Facebook Ads deliver leads within 24\u201372 hours. Google Business Profile generates visible search results within 2\u20134 weeks of verification. SEO-driven blog traffic takes 3\u20136 months to build. For fastest results, start with a Facebook message ad targeted to your town and a complete WhatsApp Business profile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Do I need a website to do digital marketing in Kenya?<\/strong> A: No. Thousands of Kenyan small businesses generate customers entirely through WhatsApp Business, Facebook pages, and Google Business Profile without a website. A website becomes important when you want SEO traffic and a professional presentation for larger corporate clients, but it is not a prerequisite for getting your first online leads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What is the Kenya Data Protection Act and does it affect my marketing?<\/strong> A: The Kenya Data Protection Act (2019) requires businesses to obtain customer consent before collecting personal data, including phone numbers and email addresses used for marketing. This means you need a clear opt-in step on any lead form or sign-up. Penalties for non-compliance can include fines. Add a simple consent checkbox to any form you use to collect customer details.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: How do I measure whether my digital marketing is working?<\/strong> A: Track three numbers weekly: cost per inquiry (total ad spend \u00f7 number of messages or calls received), conversion rate from inquiry to sale, and return on ad spend (revenue generated \u00f7 total marketing cost). Follower counts and likes are secondary. A business generating KES 50,000 in sales from KES 5,000 in ad spend has a 10x return \u2014 that is the only metric that matters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can a small business in Kenya compete with larger brands online?<\/strong> A: Yes, and this is one of digital marketing&#8217;s biggest advantages for SMEs. Digital marketing offers cost-effective lead generation compared to traditional advertising, and with precise targeting, small businesses can reach exactly the right audience without requiring large budgets. A local plumber in Westlands targeting Westlands residents on Facebook will beat a national brand&#8217;s generic Kenya-wide campaign every time, because localisation is free and reach is not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What is the fastest way to get my first online customer in Kenya?<\/strong> A: Set up WhatsApp Business today, add your products to the catalogue, then post in 3 active Facebook or WhatsApp groups in your town with a clear offer and your WhatsApp number. Do this today. You will get an inquiry within 24\u201348 hours at zero cost.

They are failing because every guide they read recommends strategies built for businesses with budgets of KES 50,000+ per month. A hardware store owner in Thika or a tailor in Gikomba does not have that budget and does not need it.<\/p>\n<p>What works at zero or near-zero budget: WhatsApp Business done properly, a complete Google Business Profile with photos, and 3 posts per week on a Facebook page with consistent branding. What accelerates this without requiring agency fees: a lead generation platform that sends verified buyer inquiries directly to your phone.<\/p>\n<p>I was surprised by how little most competitor guides discuss pre-qualified leads versus raw traffic. Getting traffic is the easy part. Converting traffic into paying Kenyan customers requires understanding that your buyer is comparing 3 other WhatsApp numbers at the same moment they message you. Speed, pricing clarity, and a professional WhatsApp Business setup are the difference between closing the sale and losing it to a competitor 20 seconds faster.<\/p>\n<p>My honest recommendation: do not spend a single shilling on paid advertising until your WhatsApp Business profile is complete and your Google Business Profile is verified. Those two free steps alone will generate your first digital leads.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Takeaways\"><\/span>Key Takeaways<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Kenya&#8217;s digital marketing sector grows 15\u201320% each year, and small businesses that adopt digital channels are growing faster than those that rely on traditional methods alone.<\/li>\n<li>WhatsApp Business and Google Business Profile are free and generate real customer inquiries \u2014 set both up before spending anything on ads.<\/li>\n<li>Kenyan social media users spend 4 hours 7 minutes daily online \u2014 the highest average globally \u2014 meaning your buyers are available and reachable at low cost.<\/li>\n<li>Facebook Ads starting at KES 500\/day with location-specific targeting outperform large-budget campaigns with broad national targeting for most small businesses.<\/li>\n<li>A lead generation platform delivers pre-qualified buyers directly to your business \u2014 faster and cheaper than building an audience from scratch.<\/li>\n<li>Measure cost per inquiry and return on ad spend weekly \u2014 not followers, not likes, not impressions.<\/li>\n<li>Kenya&#8217;s Data Protection Act requires clear consent before collecting customer data \u2014 add an opt-in step to every lead form you use.<\/li>\n<li>The fastest path to your first online customer costs nothing: a complete WhatsApp Business profile, 3 photos, and a post in 3 local Facebook groups today.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Digital marketing for small businesses in Kenya works \u2014 but only when it is built around the reality of how Kenyan buyers actually shop, compare, and decide.

It has the highest penetration of any communication platform in Kenya at approximately 80% of internet users, costs nothing to set up, and converts inquiries to sales faster than any other channel because the conversation happens in the same app Kenyans already use for daily communication. For most small businesses \u2014 especially those in retail, food, fashion, and services \u2014 WhatsApp is where the actual buying decision gets made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Direct Answer Digital marketing for small businesses in Kenya means using online channels \u2014 social media, SEO,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":751,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"default","_kad_post_title":"default","_kad_post_layout":"default","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"default","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"default","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/leadspro.co.ke\/b2b\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/leadspro.co.ke\/b2b\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/leadspro.co.ke\/b2b\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leadspro.co.ke\/b2b\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leadspro.co.ke\/b2b\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=750"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/leadspro.co.ke\/b2b\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":752,"href":"https:\/\/leadspro.co.ke\/b2b\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750\/revisions\/752"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leadspro.co.ke\/b2b\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/leadspro.co.ke\/b2b\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leadspro.co.ke\/b2b\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leadspro.co.ke\/b2b\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
