SEO and Google Ads at Sheen: How We Get Afghan Businesses Found

A website nobody finds is an expensive business card. Two of our services exist to fix that: SEO and digital marketing, and Google Ads management. They solve the same problem in opposite ways.

The Honest Difference

SEO is slow, cumulative and free per click. It takes months to build and then keeps working. Stop paying and the results decay gradually rather than disappearing.

Google Ads is immediate and costs money every single click. Turn it on and you have traffic today. Turn it off and it stops the same afternoon.

Anyone who tells you SEO produces results next week is selling something. Anyone who tells you ads are a waste of money has not run them properly.

The Order That Usually Works

For a business starting from nothing, ads first, SEO in parallel.

Ads tell you within two weeks what people actually search for before they buy from you, which of those searches turn into enquiries, and what a customer costs to acquire. That is real data about your market, bought quickly.

Then SEO targets the terms the ad data proved are worth having, and over the following months you stop paying for the clicks you were buying.

Doing SEO alone from a standing start means guessing at keywords and waiting six months to find out you guessed wrong.

What Our SEO Work Involves

Technical foundations first: site speed, mobile usability, crawlability, structured data, clean titles and descriptions. There is no point pursuing keywords if search engines struggle with the site.

Then keyword research grounded in what your customers actually type, which in Afghanistan often means the same search in English, Dari and Pashto, sometimes transliterated.

Then content and on-page work, so each page targets something specific rather than every page being vaguely about your business.

Local SEO matters too. For most Afghan businesses, appearing in local results for the city you serve is worth more than a national ranking.

What Our Google Ads Work Involves

Campaign structure so budget goes to searches with buying intent, not to browsing. Negative keywords, which is where most wasted spend hides. Ad copy tested against alternatives rather than written once. Landing pages that match the ad, because sending paid traffic to a homepage wastes most of it. And conversion tracking, because an ad campaign you cannot measure is a donation.

Reporting You Can Read

You get plain numbers: what was spent, what came in, what it cost per enquiry. Not a dashboard screenshot of impressions, which is a number that pays no one.
