Short answer
The essentials on one page
SEO in Cameroon: the guide for small businesses
SEO means getting your site into Google’s free results when clients search for your services. It rests on four pillars: a technically sound, fast site, pages that precisely answer searches, a local presence (Google profile, reviews, consistent address) and links from other sites. Allow three to six months for lasting results. Read the guide →
Getting on Google Maps in Cameroon: create and verify your profile
To appear on Google Maps, create a Google Business Profile, choose the right category, place the pin precisely on the map (even without a street name), add hours, phone, website and photos, then verify the profile, usually with a short video of your premises. After that, get regular reviews and post updates. Read the guide →
Getting recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity: the GEO guide
To be recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity, your business must be clearly described on your site (who, what, where, prices, proof), with structured data, direct answers to frequent questions, an llms.txt file, and consistent information on other trusted sites (Google profile, directories, press). That’s Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO. Read the guide →
Ranking first on Google in Douala: how long and how much?
On a low-competition local search ("trade + neighbourhood"), a well-optimised business can reach page one in one to three months. On a contested search ("lawyer Douala", "hotel Yaoundé"), allow three to twelve months of steady work. Costs range from a one-off audit to monthly follow-up; Google Ads gets you seen from day one, paying per click. Read the guide →
Keywords: finding what your clients really search for
To find your keywords, start from your clients’ words (not your jargon), use Google suggestions, "People also ask", Google Search Console and Google Trends, add cities and neighbourhoods, then sort searches by intent: information, comparison or purchase. Every important search deserves its own page. Read the guide →
Google reviews: getting more and handling negative ones
To get more Google reviews, ask at the right moment (right after a successful service), send a direct link on WhatsApp, make it easy and reply to every review. For a negative review, reply quickly, calmly and publicly, offer a solution, then continue privately. Never buy fake reviews: Google removes them and can penalise the profile. Read the guide →
