Transforming from SEO to Organic Marketing

The secret of online succes is..

Succes comes from Helpful Content & E-E-A-T. It’s not just for Google, it’s for your client. Use your channels to spread helpful content and build up E-E-A-T in order to rank better in Google.

Who is Chantal?

Chantal is an author, podcaster, speaker and trainer in SEO. She works as a freelance SEO and content strategist that works in the field of SEO since 2010. She worked on both agency and client side for years. 

Last year she published her first book (Dutch only) about creating better content to rank in search engines, not content created around keywords but for your ideal customer. This was way before Google released the Helpful Content Update.

Blogs

With the announcement of Generative AI in Search people say: there is no more incentive to create content anymore. Well if we create content for SEO reasons only, that is definitely true. But why do we only create content if it brings us visitors from organic search? Creating content for this reason only is a flaw in our marketing strategy and by doing this we are missing the bigger value of content.

"A relief to experience that SEO can also work in this way"

No one can tell you better about your products than yourself, you shouldn't want that at all outsource.” In the 10+ years that I've been active online, that was the first time an expert didn't try to take work off my hands, but instead told me to keep it to myself.

I’ve been a copywriter for 5 years now. I lived through the “keyword stuffing” days where incorrect grammar was valued higher than good copy if it got the clicks. Needless to say, I wasn’t a fan. Chantal’s approach to SEO is something I’ve always wanted to work with and never knew possible until her. She’s a great teacher and doesn’t overcomplicate things so people like me can understand more about how SEO actually works.
