Karakas Communications

Based in Belgium, Karakas Communications is a small digital marketing agency, with a team of one to ten people, offering search engine optimization alongside branding, web design, mobile app development and video production. The agency positions itself as a specialist in organic search growth for Belgian and Dutch businesses, working with clients such as Ontstoppingsdienst Claes, a drain-cleaning company for which it reports increases in SEO traffic and conversions alongside a reduction in Google Ads spend. Prospective clients can request a free SEO audit as an entry point into a project. The agency's SEO work is built around technical SEO (site speed and structure), content SEO, and off-page SEO through backlinks and guest blogging. It also applies Latent Semantic Indexing and entity-based SEO to reinforce topical relevance, semantic search techniques aligned with current search algorithms, and keyword clustering to organize related search terms into a coherent content strategy. Additional tactics mentioned include structured data markup to support rich snippets and search intent optimization to match content to what users are searching for. Beyond SEO, Karakas runs Google Ads campaigns intended to improve return on ad spend, and pairs its search work with web design and development services, positioning website creation as a companion offering to its core SEO projects.
