Reach travelers, traders, and residents across the Indian Ocean with a high-impact SEO program designed for the Comoros. At Korhogo Agency, we turn search intent into measurable visibility and dependable revenue for hotels, tour operators, fisheries, logistics firms, restaurants, doctors, schools, e-commerce stores, and NGOs operating from Moroni to Mutsamudu. Our consultants blend island-market realities with global best practices to build durable organic performance that withstands seasonality, limited bandwidth, and shifting platforms.
Why a Dedicated SEO Consultant Matters in the Comoros
The Comoros is a uniquely multilingual, multi-island market where business growth depends on staying discoverable to audiences at home and abroad. People search in French, Shikomori, and Arabic; tourists often search in English and French from Paris, Marseille, Mayotte, Réunion, Nairobi, Dubai, and Antananarivo. Diaspora communities compare flight options, hotel availability, and seasonal travel deals months in advance. Local buyers turn to mobile search for essential services—healthcare in Moroni, shipping in Mutsamudu, hospitality in Mitsamiouli, agriculture supplies in Fomboni. A consultant who understands these patterns can design content and technical architecture that welcomes every segment without diluting your brand.
We map the realities of island connectivity to your web experience. That means fast pages on 3G connections, smart caching for low-latency browsing from Europe and East Africa, and structured data so your listings enrich Google’s local pack, maps, and travel results. It also means choosing keywords that match how people really talk: “hotel Moroni bord de mer,” “vol Mayotte Comores,” “chirurgien Moroni,” “vanille Comores export,” and Shikomori phrases for everyday services. By integrating these nuances, we protect your budget from low-return tactics and concentrate on profitable organic touchpoints—search, map results, and conversion-optimized pages that load reliably on any connection.

Technical excellence for reliable performance
Island markets highlight a truth that many brands learn late: web speed is revenue. Our engineers audit hosting, DNS, caching, and image delivery to reduce payloads, eliminate render-blocking assets, and tune the critical path. We align your site with Core Web Vitals and compress media so photo-rich pages (villas, boats, tours, menus) still load fast on older devices. We implement structured data for hotels, restaurants, events, and products, improving eligibility for rich results like prices, star ratings, availability, and FAQs. Canonicalization and pagination strategy safeguard crawl budgets on large catalogs; hreflang resolves language intent across French, English, Arabic, and Shikomori. We also plan for resilience—CDN placement suited to East Africa and Europe, uptime monitoring, and disaster recovery practices that respect regional constraints.
When needed, we lead site migrations, redesigns, and property consolidations so your authority transfers cleanly. From staging QA to redirect maps and log-file analysis, we minimize ranking volatility and keep conversions intact. This is the core of our Technical SEO service—silent, essential, and focused on sustainable gains.
Local presence that converts
Local discovery in the Comoros starts with Google Maps and practical details—directions, hours, phone numbers, and up-to-date photos. We optimize Google Business Profiles for single and multi-location brands (Moroni, Mutsamudu, Fomboni), unify NAP citations across directories and social profiles, and establish a review program that complies with platform guidelines. We craft concise service pages and landing pages aligned with hyperlocal queries, embed map and call buttons, and ensure that click-to-call and WhatsApp actions track correctly. This is where Local SEO pushes foot traffic, reservations, and calls, while amplifying your brand across neighborhoods and islands.
Content that anticipates searcher needs
Tourists want answers that build trust: visa info, ferry schedules, best months to visit, medical requirements, where to eat, how to respect local customs, and what adventures fit their budget. Local customers want clear pricing, service reliability, and proof you are nearby and available. We develop editorial roadmaps from high-intent keywords and People Also Ask data, then structure topics into pillars—accommodation, transport, food, culture, trade, and public services. Your pages earn rankings because they solve practical problems—sample itineraries, ylang-ylang farm tours, island-hopping guides, shipping documentation checklists, vanilla export steps, and clinic appointment FAQs. Thoughtful internal linking ties guides to product and booking pages, lifting conversions. Our writers harmonize tone across languages and create reusable modules for seasonal updates. When we say content, we mean material that reduces friction, answers real questions, and closes the gap between discovery and action.
Authority built the right way
We cultivate relationships with reputable regional publishers, travel blogs, industry associations, chambers of commerce, and educational institutions. Newsworthy assets—original research, route maps, cultural highlights, sustainability initiatives—attract attention and editorial coverage. Carefully chosen directories and sponsorships add relevance without risking penalties. Over time, these references strengthen your domain’s ability to rank and protect it from competitors. We pursue quality, not quantity, ensuring your backlinks reflect real partnerships and earned recognition.
Analytics and clear reporting
Strong decisions require clean data. We implement GA4, Search Console, and Looker Studio dashboards with goal tracking for calls, WhatsApp, bookings, and lead forms. Where privacy or infrastructure calls for it, we can deploy Matomo or server-side tagging to maintain accuracy on low-bandwidth traffic. Revenue attribution models reflect your sales cycle—considering research periods for long-haul travelers and B2B procurement steps for exporters and NGOs. Interactive dashboards keep finance, marketing, and operations aligned. With disciplined analytics, we move beyond vanity metrics and tie every action to ROI.
Our Process Tailored to the Islands
1) Discovery and goal setting
We begin with stakeholder interviews and a landscape review—your brand story, seasonal trends, audience segments, competitors across islands and abroad, and operational constraints (inventory, staffing, fleet capacity). We define clear KPIs: bookings, phone calls, clinic appointments, export inquiries, or scholarship applications.
2) Audits and opportunity mapping
We audit your site’s technical health, search visibility, brand mentions, and local listings. Keyword research covers transactional and informational intents in the languages you support. We compare your authority and on-page strength against peers in Mayotte, Réunion, Madagascar, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mauritius to set realistic targets.
3) Strategy and roadmap
We deliver a prioritized plan over 3, 6, and 12 months, with effort assigned by ROI. The roadmap spans technical fixes, content production, local signals, and authority building. We align with your calendars—tourist seasons, shipping timetables, school terms, and public holidays.
4) Build and optimize
Our team implements quick wins first—indexation fixes, page speed improvements, and local listing updates. We then launch content and PR waves while refining internal linking and UX. Weekly sprints maintain momentum without overloading your staff.
5) Measure and iterate
We track leading indicators (rank movements, impressions, CTR, engagement) and lagging indicators (calls, bookings, revenue). Insights feed back into the roadmap, ensuring we invest where returns are strongest.
Local SEO for Moroni, Anjouan, and Mohéli
Your map presence is often the first impression. We standardize business names and categories, craft descriptions that reflect local language cues, and curate photos that load fast and show the essentials—entrances, rooms, dining areas, parking, boats, badges, forms of payment. Q&A is seeded with common pre-booking questions and updated as trends shift. We connect menus, price lists, and service catalogs so customers confirm suitability instantly. For multi-location brands, we centralize guidelines and approval flows to keep each island’s listing consistent while reflecting local specifics like hours and island-only services.
On-site, we create city and neighborhood pages to capture geo-specific intent—Moroni center, Vouvouni, Iconi, Mutsamudu port, Sima, Ouallah, Nioumachoua—without thin duplication. Schema markups for LocalBusiness, Hotel, Restaurant, MedicalClinic, and Organization enable richer results. For a mobile-first population, we configure sticky call and WhatsApp buttons with tracking so ads and organic efforts can be compared apples-to-apples. Finally, we implement review response protocols in French and English (and when useful, Arabic or Shikomori) to demonstrate active service and hospitality.
Multilingual and Cultural SEO
Language influences not only keywords but also trust. We localize copy into French and, where viable, Shikomori and Arabic, considering script direction and transliteration quirks. We adapt tone for hospitality, healthcare, public sector, education, and B2B. On-page UX respects cultural expectations—clear pricing where appropriate, direct contact options, and concise summaries before deeper details. We handle hreflang logic so French pages appear in French markets, English in English-preferred markets, and so on. We also create editorial frameworks that reflect island life: religious holidays, monsoon and dry seasons, fishing regulations, conservation projects, and community events. This context turns your site into a trusted guide rather than a generic brochure.
Technical Considerations for Island Connectivity
- Core Web Vitals: optimize LCP, INP, and CLS with server hints, preloading, and image CDNs
- Media discipline: responsive images, next-gen formats, balanced gallery counts, and lazyloading
- Caching and delivery: tuned CDN for East Africa and Europe, edge caching for static assets
- Resilience: uptime monitoring, meaningful 404s and 503s, redirect governance, and log analysis
- Security and trust: HTTPS everywhere, HSTS, DKIM/SPF/DMARC for mail credibility
- Architecture: clean URL patterns, logical hubs, breadcrumb trails, and sitemap hygiene
- Structured data: Hotel, Flight, Event, Product, FAQ, and LocalBusiness where relevant
- Accessibility: semantic markup, alt text, color contrast, and keyboard navigation
These fundamentals help your pages load quickly for residents and international visitors, improving engagement and conversions. We prioritize changes that deliver performance returns early, then refine for long-term efficiency and search resilience.
E‑commerce and Booking SEO
Whether you run a boutique hotel, a tour company, or an online shop for spices, handicrafts, or cosmetics, discoverability and trust are paramount. We integrate product schema and inventory signals, streamline category pages with faceted navigation that avoids index bloat, and use comparison tables to assist decision-making on slower connections. For bookings, we reduce clicks to reserve and ensure price clarity, date availability, and cancellation rules are visible above the fold. Payment trust is addressed with recognized badges, multiple payment options, and clear refund policies. Abandoned cart and quote flows are configured to capture leads early, often via WhatsApp for low-friction follow-up.
