Eikhart: Mission. History. Recognition. Or at least an attempt to make a somewhat coherent story of it.
Eikhart is the advisory practice of Ramon Eijkemans, consultant for enterprise SEO and AI visibility for complex, large-scale websites.
After 20+ years in SEO, I feel exactly the energy of the beginning again. AI-based technology, whether that's AI search, LLMs embedded in all kinds of applications like email, or chat conversations, offers a new mystery: new things to figure out, assumptions to test, a field that can go in any direction again. I had that same feeling when I started in 2004, when SEO was still largely uncharted.
What I do #
What I do comes down to three things that interlock: I think about strategy, I build automation that takes over the repetitive work, and I work on AI visibility so language models find, cite, and correctly represent your content.
What clients say #
Client list and testimonials below. What comes up most: I get results without wasting your time and money. As one client put it: "Small investments and a large result."
With 250M visitors monthly, the SEO-team of DPG Media faces the biggest SEO-challenge in the Benelux.
I confer with Ramon on a regular basis about increasing reach, technical monitoring, market trends, and formulating strategic goals.
His long experience with publisher SEO and intimate knowledge and insights into market developments make sure that every time we talk, we leave the table with new insights and focus on the right projects.
Head of SEO - DPG Media Nederland
We've achieved excellent SEO results with NU.nl. Ramon's way of working is pragmatic because he makes a sharp distinction between expected results and the necessary investments. We first focused on quick wins and then moved on to incremental improvements. The result? Small investments and a large result.
I like his pro-active stance and deep knowledge of SEO. They play a big part in my enthusiasm about his work.
Product & Innovation manager - NU.nl
Ramon advised Zilveren Kruis (largest healthcare insurance company in the Netherlands, red.) for a quite a large number of years.
He is pragmatic, and knows his craft. His advice is solid and often very directly executable.
Digital Analyst - Zilveren Kruis
During the Sunparks rebranding and internationalisation (SUNRISE) we had an important SEO result to be achieved. Ramon was our external consultant who helped us in the migration from the old to the new SUNPARKS e-platform without commercial loss. I appreciated Ramon for his result driven approach and extensive SEO expertise. On top of that he was flexible and proactive in our very tight timescale.

Personal #
I studied history from 1997 to 2004 at Radboud University in Nijmegen, where, besides enjoying student life and organizing festivals, I worked on making medieval archive documents easier to find using tagging systems. That was information architecture too, I realized later! Now married and a proud dad of two little ones :) Still living in the Nijmegen area.
