SEO in Brussels: become the reference for your commercial queries
An SEO strategy based on the website's technical condition, users' actual questions, useful content and transparent measurement in Search Console and your conversions.
SEO helps search engines and users understand your offer
Google defines SEO as a set of practices that help search engines interpret content and people find it. Its guides state that no secret automatically secures first place, and that a change may have an effect within hours, weeks or months, or no noticeable effect at all.
In Brussels, languages, service areas and profession-specific rules influence page structure. Our approach therefore starts from the actual offer, audiences, observed queries and useful official sources, led by our SEO consultant in Belgium.
The method combines technical auditing, needs research, editorial architecture, original content and acquisition of legitimate mentions. Search Console tracks queries, impressions and clicks, while conversions must be configured in the website's tools. Correlation over time is not presented as certain causation.
Everything included in a Kanexio SEO assignment
360° SEO audit
Indexability, robots.txt, sitemap, structured data, Core Web Vitals, titles, internal links, inbound links, orphan pages and similar content. The scope is adapted to the website, not a marketing counter.
Needs research
Search Console queries, interviews, competitor research and third-party tools help group intents. External volumes remain estimates and are dated when used.
On-page optimisation
Meta tag revision, heading structure, enriched content, internal linking, sector-specific schema.org (HVACBusiness, ProfessionalService, MedicalBusiness, Product), optimised AVIF/WebP images, lazy loading.
Hub-and-spoke pillar content
A reference page links useful sub-questions where the topic warrants it. The number and length of pages follow the necessary content, without word thresholds or promised traffic multipliers.
Quality Belgian link building
Press relations, legitimate professional directories, partners and genuinely useful resources can generate links or mentions. No link buying or artificial exchange is presented as good practice.
Transparent monthly reporting
Queries, impressions, clicks and pages in Search Console, followed by conversions configured in the measurement tool. The report distinguishes observed data, hypotheses and actions taken.

Hub-and-spoke: a structure connecting useful sub-questions
A reference page, specialised answers
Main topic
-
Understand
Explain how the topic works and its uses.
-
Compare
Address a distinct choice or budget question.
-
Locate
Add a local answer where it provides useful information.
The thematic hub (pillar page)
A reference page presenting the topic, its limitations and paths to sub-questions. Its length depends on what helps the reader. A long page does not automatically gain authority.
HVAC example: “Heat pumps in Brussels: complete guide 2026”
The spokes (specialised pages)
Specialised pages created when a distinct intent deserves its own answer. Internal links help users and search engines navigate, without a predefined page quota.
Spoke examples: “Air-to-water heat pump price”, “PEB support for heat pumps in Brussels”, “Heat pump installer Uccle”
Architecture applied at PEBify: services, resources and municipality pages linked by topic. The case study shows available deliverables and distinguishes measured observations from causation that cannot be isolated.

Your questions about SME SEO in Brussels
How long before the first SEO results? ▾
Google says some changes may be reflected within hours and others over several months. Not all will have a noticeable impact. We therefore define a baseline, document changes and evaluate each development over an appropriate period.
Does SEO work for a technical B2B SME? ▾
Yes, when buyers search for the relevant products, services or information. Potential depends on demand, competition, territory, the offer and the website's ability to convert. It must be measured in the SME's actual market.
How much does a complete SEO assignment cost? ▾
Initial setup (audit + keyword research + editorial plan + 5 pillar pieces): €4,500 to €9,000. Monthly support (content, link building, optimisation, reporting): from €1,200/month according to ambition. No commitment.
What is the difference between SEO and local SEO? ▾
Local SEO targets the Google Maps pack + GBP + citations + reviews for geographically specific queries. Traditional SEO targets national and topical organic search. For a Brussels SME, we systematically combine both.
Is SEO dead with ChatGPT and Google AI? ▾
No. Google states that its AI features rely on the usual search fundamentals and require neither special files nor markup. This does not mean a good Google ranking guarantees a citation in another product. See our page dedicated to answer engines.
