Positioning

AfriRank helps African & Black-owned brands become visible on Google and in AI answers — durably, without depending on advertising. The promise: visibility that is durable, profitable and owned by the brand, rather than traffic rented from ads. The approach is ROI-focused and educational: the know-how is transferred to the client.

• Le Maître d’œuvre (€1,190 / mo, ~$1,270, 6-month commitment): Your outsourced head of SEO and GEO: end-to-end execution, one optimised piece of content a month, reporting on Google rankings and AI citations. Variant “rythme soutenu” (faster pace): €1,490 / mo (~$1,590).
• Options: Custom website, + €990 (~$1,060); Writing an optimised page, €50 / page (~$55).
• Who does the work: with Le Bâtisseur, the client's team executes, guided by Francis Ndimba; with Le Socle and Le Maître d’œuvre, AfriRank executes. Offer names are French brand names.
• Cultural SEO — a strategy rooted in the brand's market, community and culture.
• GEO / AEO — optimising visibility in generative answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI…).

Method — four steps

• 1. Diagnostic & quantification — measure the organic revenue being left to others and locate the opportunity.
• 2. SEO + cultural + GEO strategy — a roadmap anchored in the market, the community and the AI answer engines.
• 3. Implementation — optimising the site, category/product pages, semantics and AI visibility. AfriRank executes, not just recommends.
• 4. Tracking & handover — measurement, adjustment and team training; the client keeps the keys when the engagement ends.
