Quick reference

Core principles

1. "Je doet er goed aan om de eerste, de beste te zijn" - rank 1 is not just better, it is exponentially better in clicks.
2. Google evaluates 6 factors: Relevantie, Populariteit, Uniciteit, Actualiteit, Kwaliteit, Leesbaarheid.
3. SEO has two jobs: attract new visitors AND manage your reputation (what shows when someone Googles your brand name).
4. Google is permanent infrastructure. Social media platforms come and go; Google has been the dominant search engine for 20+ years.
5. On-page SEO = what is on your own site. Off-page SEO = what others say about your site (backlinks, reviews).
6. Organic search is a compounding asset. SEA stops when budget stops; SEO keeps delivering.
7. Position 1 to 2 jump: +28.4% CTR. Position 5 to 4: +43.1%. Biggest gains are in the top 5.
8. Reputation management: a well-optimised brand page owns the Knowledge Panel (address, reviews, opening hours) and controls what strangers see first.

How to apply (for any new Weblyfe site)

• Verify Google Analytics is installed and Organic Search channel shows data under Acquisition > All Traffic > Channels.
• Confirm Google Search Console is linked and verified.
• Define the 6-factor goal for the site: which queries should it rank for (Relevantie), what makes it unique (Uniciteit), how often will content be updated (Actualiteit).
• Set up Google Business Profile if the client has a physical or local presence - this feeds the Knowledge Panel.
• Frame SEO goals in positions, not just traffic: "get from position 8 to position 4" is more concrete than "get more traffic."
• Explain to client that results take months, not weeks. SEO is an investment, not a campaign.

Anti-patterns (what the PDF says NOT to do)

• Competing only on SEA without building organic presence. Budget runs out; the tap closes.
• Ignoring reputation management. If a competitor or bad review dominates the brand SERP, that is an SEO problem too.
• Treating Google and social media as equivalent channels. Social media algorithms change constantly; Google's core ranking logic is stable.

Examples and templates

CTR benchmark (from PDF slide):

• Position 1: ~31%
• Position 2: ~14%
• Position 3: ~10%
• Positions 4-10: declining steeply
• Page 2+: near zero

Moving up one position increases relative CTR by approximately +30.8%.

Reputation use case: when someone Googles "IMU" (Internet Marketing Unie), the Knowledge Panel shows 4.8 stars, 195 Google reviews, opening hours. That is SEO working as reputation management, not just traffic.
