New Search & Web Analytics Agency in Belgium, Set-Up by Two Ex-Googlers

Brussels, Belgium, March 13, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Gabriel Goldberg, 31, and Nicolas Debray, 29, have respectively set-up the account management and specialized in business intelligence. "We are grateful for how much we have learned at Google," said both. "Google is a periscope into the future and we are privileged to have such a fascinating look".

The duo is embarking on this new adventure because they believe that Belgium’s online marketing business -- and especially search engine marketing – remains untapped. “We believe that the market has still so many opportunities,” Goldberg says. "the Netherlands has an online population twice as big as Belgium, yet the search engine marketing penetration is 10-15 times bigger, despite having similar per capita incomes"*.

“We want to bring a new freshness on the market, selling search engine marketing differently,” says Debray. Semetis will target blue-chip companies who need to move more of their marketing online. Customers will enjoy full transparency. They will be able to open their accounts and direct the campaigns from their own computers.

Semetis will also provide cutting-edge web analytics to help clients optimize their online advertising. Specifically Semetis will advise clients on how to optimize search engine marketing, both with adwords and organic free traffic. Finally Semetis Academy will offer training to customers who want to have more control over their own accounts. Training modules will also be offered to other agencies wishing to improve their knowledge in search engine marketing, organic traffic or web analytics.
