Deliverables, realistic timelines and SME Packages Digital conditions." url: https://agence-seo.lu/en/method/ updated: 2026-10-18 lang: en alternates: fr-LU: https://agence-seo.lu/methode/ en-LU: https://agence-seo.lu/en/method/ --- # How an engagement works, from the free audit to monthly reporting The steps, what you receive at each one, and what it is reasonable to expect over time. You can stop after any step and keep everything that has been delivered. ## Five steps, a document each time. ### 01. Free audit You give us your website address, your priority services and a few competitors. We look at indexing, the technical basics, your positions on a selection of searches, and what AI assistants answer to your customers' questions. **You receive** a written summary and three priorities. ### 02. In-depth audit A full crawl of the website, review of Search Console and your analytics, keyword research by language, link analysis, review of your Google Business Profile, questions tested in the main assistants. **You receive** the audit report and the keyword plan. ### 03. Roadmap Actions ranked by what they should bring and the time they take. For each one: who carries it out, in what order, and the indicator that will show whether it worked. **You receive** a dated roadmap. ### 04. Implementation Technical fixes, pages rewritten or created, structured data, local profile, links and third-party sources. We work on the website directly, or we write precise instructions for your provider. **You receive** a log of the work carried out. ### 05. Monitoring and adjustments Every month: positions, clicks, pages moving up or down, contact requests when they are tracked, and the citations recorded in the assistants. The roadmap changes accordingly. **You receive** a monthly report. ## How long before you see an effect? It all depends on the starting point, the competition on your searches and the pace at which the actions are carried out. An error that blocks indexing can be fixed in a few days and have an effect from the next crawl. Gaining places on a competitive search takes several months. We do not promise a date for reaching first position. We set intermediate indicators that you can check yourself in Search Console. ## SME Packages Digital: what to know before you count on it The programme helps an SME implement a digital solution with an expert, guided by an adviser. It covers digital marketing (website, social media), management systems and electronic invoicing. - **70%**: of eligible costs covered - **€3,000**: minimum project amount, excl. VAT - **€25,000**: maximum project amount, excl. VAT ### Who is eligible According to Guichet.lu, the company must hold a business permit, meet the conditions for SMEs and have its registered office in Luxembourg. It must first go through a pre-analysis by the House of Entrepreneurship (Chamber of Commerce) or, for craft businesses, by the eHandwierk department of the Chamber of Skilled Trades and Crafts. ### The procedure 1. Pre-analysis of your digital situation with an adviser. 2. Choice of package and service provider, with a quote between €3,000 and €25,000 excl. VAT. 3. Aid application prepared with the adviser, then analysed and approved by the Ministry of the Economy. 4. Implementation by the service provider. 5. Assessment meeting that closes the file. ### Points to be aware of - **You pay first**: The company pays the final invoice to the provider, then receives the grant: “Companies will be reimbursed after the package is in place.” - **SEO is not named explicitly**: The digital marketing strand mentions the website and social media. It is the adviser who confirms, during the pre-analysis, that your project falls within the scope. - **The pre-analysis comes first**: Book an appointment before signing a quote: this step is mandatory.

No. You receive a written summary and three priorities. You can act on them yourself, with your current provider, or ask us for a quote for the next steps. ### What do I need to provide for the audit? Your website address, your priority services and a few competitors. For the in-depth audit, read access to Search Console, your analytics tool and your Google Business Profile speeds up the work and makes the conclusions more precise. ### Do you work with our current web provider? Yes. We can work directly on the site or write precise instructions for your provider. The roadmap states who carries out each action. ### How is the price set? By quote, after the audit, based on the actual scope: number of pages and languages, technical condition, competition, and the share of the work done by your own team. No standard package that bills you for services you do not need. ### Can my project qualify for SME Packages Digital? The programme covers 70% of the eligible costs of a digital project worth €3,000 to €25,000 excluding VAT for SMEs that meet its conditions, after a mandatory pre-analysis by the House of Entrepreneurship or the Chamber of Skilled Trades and Crafts. SEO is not named explicitly: the adviser confirms whether your project is eligible.
