Why Ghent?

A student city with fierce competition

Ghent is young, digital and critical: customers compare reviews, search for “restaurant Ghent”, “osteopath Ledeberg” or “web design Ghent” and increasingly ask ChatGPT. If you are not at the top, you do not exist for them.

We make sure your business is right there: with an optimised Google Business Profile, pages per borough and per search, ads that only run in Ghent and the surrounding area, and content that matches the Ghent tone of voice. We work together online; for a shoot or an important meeting we come to Ghent.

Frequently asked questions

Everything about marketing in Ghent

Ask your own question
What does a marketing agency in Ghent cost?

Every project is different, which is why we do not work with fixed rates. You always get a tailored quote, based on your goals, the services you choose and what is realistic for your business. Clear upfront, with no hidden costs.

Do you work remotely for businesses in Ghent?

Yes. Most of our work, from SEO and ads to content and websites, happens online. You have one fixed point of contact, short video calls when needed and a dashboard where you can follow what is running every day. That is how we work just as smoothly for a business in Ghent as for a client around the corner in Putte or Zele.

Do you also visit us in Ghent?

Yes. Our team also works from Zele, about half an hour from Ghent; our office in Putte is about an hour away. We are happy to do the intro meeting, photo shoots and video recordings on site; strategy, content and campaigns are followed up online, with monthly reporting.

Do you also work for small businesses and start-ups in Ghent?

Absolutely. Most of our clients are SMEs, self-employed professionals and start-ups. We start with what pays off fastest and build from there, at the pace of your budget.

How quickly will I see results?

Google Ads and Meta Ads usually deliver the first enquiries within a few weeks. Local SEO and AI visibility build up over three to six months and keep working long after that.

Do you also work for start-ups and scale-ups in Ghent?

Yes. Ghent has a strong tech and start-up scene. For them we build visibility in Google and AI search engines, LinkedIn content, conversion-focused websites and ads that generate leads, in Dutch and English.
