Your website.Your place on Google.
Websites & local SEO
Surfaced builds business websites and works on the local SEO of shops and independent professionals. We look at what Google currently shows about your business, fix it, and deliver a website that makes people want to walk in.
See how we workWhat we do
A town-centre shop, a service business, or a store don't need the same website, but they're all looking for the same thing: for people typing what they need into Google, not your name, to land on you rather than on a directory or a better-ranked competitor.
Business website creation
A professional site of 1 to 5 pages, fast, built around your business, live in 2 to 3 weeks.
Local SEO
Google Business Profile taken in hand, optimized pages, content: so you show up when people search for what you sell, not just your name.
Monthly follow-up
Your website moves forward every month: content, reviews, measurement. You run your business, we handle the rest.
That gap, between what you deserve and what Google shows today, is what we come to fix before we even talk about a website, because a website is worth nothing if nobody finds it.
Some clients come to us for a website that doesn't exist yet, like a seasonal business that until now only had a Facebook page. Others already have a website but no up-to-date Google listing, no recent reviews, and a poorly filled-in address. The same goes for independent professionals working without a storefront, a plumber, a mobile hairdresser, a coach: their Google listing and their website are often the only way in. Either way, the method stays the same: we look at what actually exists, complete what's missing, fix what's wrong, then measure what changes over the following months, with figures, not impressions.
Local SEO doesn't replace a website, and a website alone isn't enough either: it's the combination of both that makes the difference over time. A shop can have a beautiful website and still stay invisible if its Google listing isn't kept up to date, just as a perfect listing never makes up for the absence of a website when a customer compares several options before choosing where to go.
Where we travel to
Ciney, Namur, Dinant, Andenne and the surrounding communes. The agency is based in Wasseiges: in the Namur province, the first meeting happens at your business. Elsewhere, we work over video call, with the same method.
The Namur province
How it works
1. We come to see you
A meeting at your business. We look together at what Google shows about you today, and what people who don't know you yet actually find.
2. We show you the website first
You see a mockup of your future website and receive a written quote. You decide afterwards, not before.
3. We go live
2 to 3 weeks after receiving your materials. Two rounds of revisions included, hosting and domain name covered for the first year.
4. We keep going, or you take over
You keep control if you prefer, or we handle your website and your visibility every month. Both exist, we talk it through in person.
What we show you at the first meeting
What Google shows about you
We type, in front of you, the searches your customers actually make, and we look together at what comes up. Often, it's a directory or a competitor.
What's slipping past you
The searches you don't appear in at all, and what they represent in customers who have never found you.
What we'd actually do
A written proposal, with a mockup of your future website. You decide afterwards, with no obligation.
It's free and it takes half an hour. You leave with the diagnosis, whether you work with us or not.
What sets us apart
We come to you
National agencies sell over the phone and deliver a template. We come on site, we see your business, and the website reflects it.
A website that costs you nothing to maintain
Our websites are built as static sites: no WordPress to update, nothing for a plugin to hack, and a loading speed that few local sites reach.
The domain name is yours
The domain name is registered in your name. If we ever part ways, you keep your website.
Many websites sold to shops are built once and then left untouched for years, with nobody ever coming back to them. Ours is designed as a starting point: a clean, fast base, content that can be enriched month after month, and a Google listing that stays alive, not a project we close the door on the day it goes live and then forget.
We don't work remotely from an online questionnaire. The first meeting happens at your place when you're in the Namur province, over video call otherwise, but always with your real photos, your real menu or price list, your real customer reviews: not stock images that could belong to any business, in any town.
We don't take on a volume of clients that would stop us from knowing you by name. The number of businesses we follow at any one time stays deliberately limited, so that each website and each Google listing keeps being followed by the same person, from one meeting to the next, without having to explain everything again each time.
Questions we get asked
It depends on the number of pages and the visibility work needed. We quote in writing after the meeting, once we've seen your business and what Google shows about you. Hosting and the domain name are covered for the first year, and there's no mandatory subscription afterwards.
Count 2 to 3 weeks from the moment we receive your materials: text, photos, logo. The mockup arrives beforehand, so you can validate the direction with no commitment.
Websites and SEO for businesses anywhere in Belgium and France. In the Namur province (Ciney, Namur, Dinant, Andenne and around), the first meeting happens at your business. Elsewhere, it happens over video call, with the same method.
The listing shows up when people search your name. A website shows up when people search for what you sell. These are two different searches, and the second is the one made by customers who don't know you yet.
No, and no serious agency can. We promise the work: a clean website, a complete listing, regular content, and an honest measurement of results, backed by figures.
