Web, SEO and digital marketing agency in Tangier

We build the digital presence of Tangier businesses selling to industry, to export markets, and to customers on both sides of the strait.

The Tangier market

Tangier is Morocco's most outward-facing market. Tanger Med, the free zones, automotive, textiles, logistics and industrial subcontracting shape an economy where the buyer is often a European company, and where the question is not “do you look nice” but “are you reliable, certified, and able to deliver on schedule”.

Alongside that, Tangier has a second economy — coastal and urban: tourism, real estate, restaurants, services, driven by domestic customers, Moroccans living abroad and Spanish proximity. A lot of searches arrive in Spanish. A serious Tangier business often needs to speak to two very different audiences without the site becoming confused.

What matters here

Industrial B2B has its own codes

Capabilities, certifications, process, production capacity, direct contacts. An industrial buyer is trying to qualify a supplier in three minutes, not to be inspired.

Europe is in your audience

English and Spanish are not decorative in Tangier. A properly written version in the buyer's language changes the response rate.

Two audiences, one architecture

Industrial export and local customers don't mix. We separate them cleanly in the site structure rather than building one average site for both.

The digital market is still open

Many Tangier sites are dated or missing. On several B2B queries, correct execution is enough to take ground.

Local SEO in Tangier

For the local side — restaurants, real estate, services — we work the Google Business Profile and anchor on the areas that actually matter: city centre, Malabata, Iberia, Boubana, Marchan. For the B2B and export side, local search matters less than entity clarity: what you manufacture, for whom, with which certifications, plus English pages capable of ranking for searches made from Europe.

What we do here

The same disciplines as elsewhere, calibrated to local competition and intent.

From first conversation to launch

Common questions in this city

Do you build websites in Spanish?

Yes, when your customer base justifies it — which is common in Tangier. As with other languages, the Spanish version gets its own URL, its own metadata and written content, not machine translation.

How does an industrial company rank?

Through precision. Pages per capability and per product, the exact terminology buyers use, technical sheets, certifications, and structured data that describes the company clearly. Industrial buyers search very specific terms, not slogans.

Can you target customers in Spain or France?

Yes. That is international targeting: proper language versions, correct hreflang, content adapted to the target market, and geotargeted Google Ads where useful. It's different work from Moroccan SEO, and we treat it as such.

We operate from a free zone and sell almost entirely for export. Should the site target Morocco at all?

Rarely as the priority. Free-zone activity is export-oriented by design — sales into the domestic market are treated as imports — so the pages that carry revenue are the ones a European buyer finds, in English or Spanish. We keep a correct Moroccan presence for recruitment and suppliers, and put the search effort where the customers are.

Does being next to Tanger Med help us rank?

Not on its own — proximity isn't a ranking signal for a search made from Europe. What helps is stating it precisely where it matters: lead times, port access, what that means for a buyer's logistics. Buyers search in those terms, so writing the page properly and ranking for it turn out to be the same task.
