  • Multi-channel acquisition strategy tailored to your local or regional target
  • Meta Ads (Facebook, Instagram) with custom audiences for West Africa
  • Google Ads Search and Display to capture existing demand

SEO & Organic Visibility

Be found on Google, even without an ad budget

Most SMEs in West Africa don't appear on Google when their customers search for them. We optimize your site for search engines and create content that drives qualified traffic long-term — without depending on a monthly ad budget.

  • Full SEO audit: site structure, keywords, mobile loading speed
  • On-page optimization: titles, tags, internal linking, structured data
  • SEO content creation in French targeting your market
  • Google Business Profile: creation, optimization and review management
  • Ranking tracking for target queries in West Africa
  • Monthly report on organic traffic and visibility progress

Local French-language SEO is underused by Beninese SMEs — it's an accessible competitive advantage.

Community Management

A social presence that builds trust, not just likes

In Benin and across UEMOA, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are often the first touchpoint between a business and its customers. We manage your social presence with a consistent editorial line, regular posts and genuine community responsiveness.

  • Editorial line definition and monthly content calendar
  • Visual and content creation adapted to each platform (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn)
  • Caption writing in French with a consistent brand voice
  • Comment moderation and message replies within 24 business hours
  • Monthly reports: reach, engagement, community growth
  • Campaign management: contests, polls, subscriber-exclusive offers

WhatsApp Business & CRM

Your customers are on WhatsApp. Your business should be too.

WhatsApp is the number one communication channel between businesses and customers in West Africa. We set up your WhatsApp Business, automate frequent responses, and connect everything to your CRM or ShopX store so you never lose a sale.

  • WhatsApp Business Pro account setup and optimization
  • Automated flow creation: order confirmation, delivery tracking, cart recovery
  • WhatsApp product catalogs synchronized with your inventory
  • Integration with ShopX or your existing management system
  • Quick reply scripts for your customers' most frequent questions
  • Team training to handle commercial conversations on WhatsApp

WhatsApp Business is already natively integrated into ShopX — the technical layer exists, we deploy it for you.

Digital Training & Coaching

Making your teams independent, not dependent

Many digital tools fall into disuse after the agency leaves, due to lack of internal skills. We train your teams to use their tools so you can drive your own growth without relying on an external provider for every action.

  • Custom training: website management, Meta Business Suite, Google Analytics
  • Hands-on workshops in Cotonou or remote for regional teams
  • E-commerce modules: ShopX management, order processing, customer follow-up
  • Cybersecurity awareness and digital best practices for SMEs
  • Post-training support: async Q&A for 30 days
  • Participation certificate issued to each learner

Training local teams to master their digital tools is a structural gap identified in the Beninese market.
