Being online is not enough. In Dakar and across Senegal, prospects search on Google before they call. If your site is slow, poorly structured or invisible on local queries, you lose ground to weaker competitors who are simply easier to find. SEO is not keyword stuffing: it is technical and editorial clarity. At SiiW we start with an honest diagnosis, then prioritize what actually unlocks qualified traffic.
Our approach
Our SEO approach in Dakar rests on three principles: honest diagnosis, priority technical fixes, and useful content for real local queries — not keyword stuffing. If you need an SEO agency in Dakar or performance-minded SEO in Senegal, this is how we work.
We always start with Search Console, crawl data and local competition. An SME in Dakar targeting a neighborhood intent does not share the same roadmap as a national brand. We separate indexation blockers (speed, canonicals, 404s, mobile) from intent gaps (service pages, FAQs, proof).
Then we build the foundation: unique titles/descriptions, coherent headings, internal links services ↔ work ↔ articles, LocalBusiness and FAQ schema. Only after that do we accelerate content and authority signals (directories, press, partners, Google Business Profile).
Tracking stays actionable: impressions, rankings, converting pages. Monthly priorities your team — or ours — can execute. Local SEO in Dakar is also won off-site: reviews, consistent NAP, reliable citations.
- 01
Diagnose
Crawl, Search Console, local competition. Separate technical urgency from content opportunities.
- 02
Fix the foundation
Speed, indexation, canonicals, hreflang when needed, schema. A healthy base before writing more.
- 03
Amplify
Target pages, local content, measured mentions (directories, press, partners). Then iterate on data.
What we cover
What we take on is not a checkbox list. Every SEO engagement is a business project: useful traffic, leads, bookings — not vanity metrics.
Technically, we audit Core Web Vitals, crawlability, indexation, tags, internal links and structured data. On mobile 4G in Senegal, speed is not a luxury: it is a ranking and conversion factor. You get an ordered fix plan with effort vs impact.
Editorially, we map local intents (“service + Dakar”, “service + Senegal”, neighborhoods) and build the missing pages — services, FAQs, proof — instead of diluting the site with generic posts. Internal linking concentrates authority.
We also support the local pack: Google Business Profile, reviews, address/phone/email consistency with the site — often the fastest lever for clinics, hotels and shops in Dakar.
- Technical SEO audit: Core Web Vitals, indexation, tags, internal links, structured data, mobile. Blockers listed with a realistic fix order.
- Local keyword research: search intent in Dakar and Senegal, volume vs. business intent, pages to create or strengthen.
- Strategic page optimization: titles, headings, intros, FAQs, CTAs. Useful pages that convert — not fluff.
- Content and linking: light editorial calendar, internal links services ↔ work ↔ articles, FAQ and LocalBusiness schema.
- Tracking: rankings, Search Console impressions, monthly actionable recommendations — not a 40-page vanity report.
Who it’s for / use cases in Senegal
SMEs, clinics, hotels, firms, e-commerce and institutions that want to be found in Dakar and the regions — without relying only on paid ads. Ideal if you already have a site, or if you are launching a redesign with SiiW.
SEO use cases in Senegal
- Retail / nutrition e-commerce: category pages + product SEO + WooCommerce technical hygiene to capture national and local demand.

Frequently asked questions
Is SEO included when you build a website?
Basics (tags, performance, structure) are included. A full SEO strategy — content, local, tracking — is scoped separately or as a pack.
How long before results show?
Often 3–6 weeks for first impressions, and 2–3 months for more stable rankings on a new site. Ads can bridge the gap.
Do you handle Google Business local SEO?
Yes: profile, categories, posts, reviews, NAP consistency. Often the fastest lever for local businesses in Dakar.
Do we need a new website to start SEO?
No. We can optimize an existing site. A redesign with SiiW often includes the SEO technical foundation from day one.
