SEO (search engine optimisation)

SEO (search engine optimisation) covers everything that helps a website appear in search engine results without paying for advertising. It has a technical base, done once when the website is built, and an editorial part (content, links) that is worked on every month.

The two halves of search visibility

The first is technical: a clean structure, a title and a description per page, a sitemap, performance, mobile display, structured data. It makes the website readable by engines, and it is done once. The second is editorial: pages answering your publics' questions, links from other websites, regular follow-up. It makes the website worth showing, and it has no end.

For an association

  • Local queries count more than generic keywords: "free food parcel" followed by the neighbourhood name
  • The links that count are those of your municipality, your federation, your partners and the sector directories
  • One page per lasting question (how to register, who can benefit, where and when) is worth more than ten news items

In Kern4Good

Every offer, from the launch website at 1 200 EUR, includes the technical base. Visibility on the queries that matter requires a few days a month, on your side or as at-cost support, on quote.

Is SEO included in a website?

The technical base, yes, in any serious offer. The content and link work that makes a website rise on its queries is not part of a build package, because it continues after go-live.

How soon do we see results?

Three to six months for the first queries, one year for a stable effect, provided a rhythm of publishing and follow-up is kept.
