Digital visibility, a strategic issue
In 2025, being visible online is no longer just a competitive advantage, but a strategic necessity. Whether it is to generate leads, recruit talent or establish its expertise, SEO on search engines is a major growth lever. However, generic methods and automated solutions are quickly reaching their limits. Each company has its own objectives, audience and sales cycle. An effective SEO/SEA strategy must therefore be tailor-made, based on a detailed analysis of data, user behaviour and market positioning. For decision-makers, it is no longer a matter of «doing SEO», but of piloting a business lever integrated into the overall strategy.
Understand the limitations of generic approaches
Many companies still subcontract their referencing to agencies offering standardized formulas: monthly publication, generic keywords, automatic netlinking. Result: few tangible results, a vague return on investment, and sometimes algorithmic penalties. Referencing now requires a scientific and personalized approach, taking into account the sector of activity, competitive issues, seasonality and specific objectives. In B2B in particular, where the purchase cycle is long and complex requests, SEO cannot be treated as a convenience. It must be aligned with your key performance indicators.
Building a data-driven strategy
A tailor-made SEO strategy is primarily based on data. This involves a thorough audit: site status, current performance, competitive analysis, user behavior, conversion tunnels. This step identifies the most relevant technical barriers, semantic opportunities and research intentions. It then feeds a clear, prioritized roadmap with measurable objectives (qualified traffic, conversions, strategic positioning). By combining analytical tools (Search Console, Analytics, SEMrush, etc.), the company can manage its actions with precision and responsiveness.
Coordinate SEO and SEA channels for more impact
Natural search engine optimization (SEO) and paid search engine optimization (SEA) are not mutually exclusive. Well used, they complement each other to effectively cover the conversion cycle. A smart strategy is to capitalize on SEA data to adjust SEO priorities, and vice versa. For example: validate search intentions with test campaigns, adjust pages with high bounce rates, target keywords with high business potential. This synergy improves the profitability of paid campaigns and strengthens organic visibility in a sustainable way. However, it requires close coordination between the marketing, IT and sales teams.
Integrate SEO into your digital ecosystem
Referencing should not be isolated: it must integrate into the overall architecture of the site, in your CRM/marketing automation tools and in the editorial strategy. A technically poorly designed, slow or unstructured site slows down positioning efforts. Conversely, a well-planned web redesign or CMS migration can be a lever for rapid growth. Similarly, SEO content should not be limited to keyword pages: it must be designed to meet the real needs of your customers, strengthen your authority, and accompany the user journey. This transversal integration is a factor of differentiation and sustainable performance.
Referencing as a business management tool
Referencing is no longer just another acquisition channel. It is a strategic tool for managing digital performance. To generate real impact, it must be custom designed, based on reliable data, integrated into your technical ecosystem, and aligned with your business goals. This requirement requires specific expertise, analytical skills and a global vision of your business.
