MRC Performance
I have been in business for over 10 Years and recently moved to AGR Technology for all our IT needs. They are able to fix nearly anything remotely and always very helpful in recommending appropriate hardware upgrades that do the job as required but not costing more than needed.
Alessio provided an excellent service. He was very dedicated in his method of finding solutions to problems. He continued to try different avenues until he found the reason as to why a particular application was not working. He was very knowledgeable in his understanding of the internet and of applications and how they work, and he was able to apply this knowledge in understanding how to resolve the obstacles that continued to appear. He is understanding towards his client's needs and goals and he is willing to work with his client in achieving those goals. He is a very polite and well mannered person and very calm and gentle in his approach. I would highly recommend Alessio's services to anyone.

Alessio from AGR Technology has recently helped me create a website for my business.
Throughout the whole process from start to finish Alessio made the process easy for me, by calling me and explaining each step of the way. I'm not very computer savvy, but with Alessio taking the time to explain in detail everything I needed to know from putting inventory in to having it shipped. He even remotely joined my computer to help guide me through everything.
He's very knowledgeable and is experienced in everything I needed and if there was anything else I needed to know that wasn't something he was familiar with, he researched it.
I would HIGHLY recommend Alessio to anyone. He has not only helped me for now but I know that if I ever needed help with anything else he would definitely go above and beyond to help. Thank you so much for everything you have done. It's been a long process but well worth it 🙂

They take the initiative, looking after all the details that you would not have thought of to enhance your website presence, marketing funnel and automated appointment bookings.

Emerging Trends Shaping SEO Services In Belgium
Belgian search keeps moving fast, so we align strategy with what Google prioritizes now. We focus on multilingual intent, technical trust, and measurable outcomes for nl‑BE, fr‑BE, and de‑BE audiences.
AI, LLMs, And Search Experience
AI reshapes search discovery across queries, entities, and formats. We optimize for AI‑assisted results, if Google expands AI Overviews in the EU.
- Prioritize first‑hand expertise, because Google’s March 2024 core update targets low‑value content and link spam (Google Search Central, 2024).
- Build entity‑rich pages, because LLMs surface brands that map cleanly to topics, entities, and attributes.
- Structure answers for snippets, because concise Q&A blocks, lists, and tables feed AI summaries and Featured Snippets.
- Localize intent per language, because nl‑BE, fr‑BE, and de‑BE users phrase problems differently across industries, for example energy tariffs, logistics quotes, and medical bookings.
- Enrich product and service data, because LLMs and Google Merchant Center draw on clean feeds, GTINs, and availability.
- Activate content governance, because AI scale increases duplication risk and EEAT gaps across markets.
Use cases we deliver for Belgium:
- Launch multilingual topical hubs for Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent service areas, with hreflang alignment.
- Deploy editorial checklists that capture proof, for example photos, process data, and customer outcomes.
- Ship programmatic SEO for inventory, for example location pages, categories, and product variants with unique value.

Structured Data And Technical Enhancements
Technical accuracy drives visibility, especially across Core Web Vitals, schema markup, and privacy compliance under GDPR.
- Implement Consent Mode v2 across the EEA, because Google enforces it for ads and measurement from March 2024 (Google, 2024).
- Target Core Web Vitals that users feel, because INP replaces FID, and poor interaction tanks conversions (Google Chrome Developers, 2024).
- Use supported schema only, because Google limits FAQ rich results, and restricts self‑serving reviews since 2023 (Google, 2023).
- Localize structured data, because LocalBusiness, Organization, Product, and Service schemas need nl‑BE, fr‑BE, and de‑BE context.
- Validate hreflang pairs and canonicals, because mixed signals block correct language results and cause cannibalization.
- Migrate to server‑side tagging, because cookie consent and attribution depend on reliable tagging in the EEA.
- Optimize edge delivery, because faster LCP and stable CLS improve rankings and revenue on mobile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is SEO important in Belgium?
SEO builds predictable traffic, qualified leads, and brand authority in Belgium’s unique multilingual market. With Google holding 93.4% share and over half of searches on mobile, optimized, fast, and localized experiences are essential. Tailored strategies for Brussels, Antwerp, and Ghent help you rank where your customers search.
How does multilingual SEO work in Belgium?
Multilingual SEO targets Dutch, French, and German with localized keyword research, unique content per language, and hreflang tags. It prevents cannibalization, aligns pages with user intent, and ensures the right version appears in each region. Consistent structure, internal linking, and localized metadata are key.
What does a Belgian SEO audit include?
A Belgian SEO audit typically covers technical health (crawlability, Core Web Vitals), on-page structure, indexing, site architecture, schema, content gaps, local SEO, and GDPR compliance. It also checks hreflang, canonical rules, mobile UX, and analytics accuracy to map risks and prioritize fixes.
How does GDPR affect SEO?
GDPR impacts tracking, consent, and data retention. Compliant SEO setups use consent-based analytics, server-side tagging where needed, and transparent cookie policies. This preserves accurate attribution and user trust while keeping your site eligible for features like rich results and better crawl budgets.
What local SEO tactics work for Brussels, Antwerp, and Ghent?
Optimize Google Business Profiles, standardize NAP data, use city-specific landing pages, gather local reviews, earn local backlinks, and publish localized content. Add structured data, service areas, and multilingual listings. Track map-pack rankings, calls, and directions to measure real local outcomes.
What technical SEO actions matter most?
Fix Core Web Vitals, improve crawl depth, resolve indexation issues, implement clean URL structures, align hreflang and canonicals, add schema, compress media, and set up server-side tagging. Ensure mobile-first rendering is flawless and prioritize security (HTTPS) and accessibility.
How do you build authority with links in Belgium?
Secure relevant local backlinks from Belgian publications, chambers, universities, and industry associations. Use digital PR, thought leadership, and local sponsorships. Diversify anchor text, avoid spammy networks, and prioritize quality over volume. Aim for links that bring both ranking signals and referral traffic.
What KPIs should we track for Belgian SEO?
Track organic sessions, non-brand growth, rankings by language and city, map-pack visibility, conversions and revenue, lead quality, Core Web Vitals, index coverage, and backlink quality. Tie KPIs to commercial outcomes and report per language and location for clarity.
How long until we see SEO results?
Typical timelines: audit (2–4 weeks), technical fixes (4–8 weeks), content rollout (4–12 weeks), local improvements (2–6 weeks). Noticeable traction often appears in 3–4 months, with stronger results at 6–9 months. Competitive and multilingual projects may take longer.
How much does SEO cost in Belgium?
Budgets vary by goals, languages, and complexity. Common ranges: audits, local SEO, multilingual SEO, e-commerce SEO, link building, and enterprise SEO are priced by scope and deliverables. Expect retainers or fixed-scope projects with transparent inclusions and KPIs.
How do you optimize for mobile-first in Belgium?
Prioritize speed, responsive design, clean navigation, compressed media, and tap-friendly elements. Use lazy loading, fix CLS and LCP, and simplify forms. Ensure local features (click-to-call, maps) are prominent. Test across languages and devices to protect rankings and conversions.
What is hreflang and why does it matter?
Hreflang tags tell Google which language and regional version of a page to serve. In Belgium, they prevent duplicate content issues across Dutch, French, and German. Correct mappings, reciprocal tags, and alignment with canonicals ensure users see the right content.
How does AI change SEO strategy in Belgium?
AI-powered search favors entity-rich, intent-focused content, clear structure, and strong technical trust. Build comprehensive pages, use schema, FAQs, and multimedia, and answer specific questions per language. Ensure fast, compliant sites so your content is eligible for AI-assisted results.
What does e-commerce SEO look like for Belgian shoppers?
Optimize Shopify/WooCommerce with fast, crawlable collections, multilingual product pages, localized pricing and shipping info, structured data, and clean faceted navigation. Add unique descriptions, UGC reviews, and internal linking. Leverage local backlinks and GBP for stores with physical locations.
How do I choose the right SEO partner in Belgium?
