Algeria AgencyBlog
What we have learned
Articles on marketing, web and IT in Algeria — written from real engagements.
We write about the problems we actually meet at our clients: a site that is slow on an Algerian mobile network, an online payment application that drags on, an advertising budget spent without measurement.
Every article carries its date. The field moves quickly — platform rules and banking procedures change without notice — and a text that is accurate in 2026 will not necessarily be so in two years.
We write rarely and at length rather than often and briefly. An article that answers a question completely is useful for years; a weekly post published to keep a rhythm serves only the person publishing it.
Nothing here is reserved for clients. If an article lets you fix the problem yourself, it has done its job, and that is the best argument we have.

Nobody publishes an error rate for Algerian darija, us included. Here is the protocol that would produce one, and what to know before reading it.The national AI strategy, translated for a small business
A strategy sets a direction; it imposes nothing on a business. Where it stands on 6 September 2026, what concerns you, and what already obliges you.Arabic, French, darija: which language to answer in, and to whom
The language of a message is not always the language of the expected answer. The rule is decided per channel, written on one page, and held to.Running a model on your own machine: the three numbers that decide
The number in a model’s name does not say whether it will fit. Three others do, and they are worked out before buying anything.Training a model: the three cases where it is worth it
Training changes the shape of answers, almost never their content. What you must supply, and the three cases where it is the right tool.RAG without the jargon: what an assistant on your documents still invents
Connecting a model to your documents does not make it honest. It changes what it invents, and moves the problem to what you give it to read.

Replacing a system that still works
Four reasons justify replacing an old application. Outside those four, keeping it is almost always the right call — and nobody has an interest in telling you so.Website, app or custom software: which one, and in what order
Three very different things share the name "IT project". Choosing the wrong one costs more than building the right one badly.Custom software: the specification you write is not the one you need
Nobody knows what they want before using it. A complete specification written beforehand is a guess set down in the present tense.Why your website is slow — and what it costs you
Site speed is not measured on your desktop, and that is where the whole misunderstanding starts.E-commerce: what you are shown is the shopfront, what you are buying is the back office
Every demonstration shows the shop. All the cost and all the risk sit behind it, in the part nobody draws.Mobile apps: the weight and the asks decide more than the features
What makes people abandon an app is settled before the first feature: the download, the sign-up, the permissions.

Five very different services are sold under one name. The most useful spend is nearly always the smallest invoice.Content creation: photography is not a talent, it is a process
One corner, one surface, four angles, always the same. What decides is not the photographer’s eye but the repetition.A small business’s visual identity: what works and what decorates
A logo is not an identity. What is almost always missing is what happens the day after it is delivered.Protecting your brand in Algeria: what registration does and does not do
Using a name for ten years does not make it yours. Registration does — and it is more accessible than people think.
IT Infrastructure
40 articles
Cloud hosting: what costs is not the storage
The line everybody compares is the cheapest on the invoice. The other three get paid on the day you need them most.Infrastructure: where your data lives, and how long it takes to leave
The only family in this pillar that produces nothing visible. The useful question is not local or cloud: it is the notice period for getting out.Backups and continuity: what actually gets a business running again
A backup that has never been restored is not a backup. It is an assumption.IT: what actually stops a business, and in what order to deal with it
This pillar is bought after the incident, so in the worst conditions. One hour of questions puts the five families back in order.Access control: a key cannot be revoked
Everything sits in that sentence. A badge is cancelled in one action; a key is taken back by changing the lock — and nobody ever changes the lock.Firewalls and VPNs: what goes out matters more than what comes in
What arrives unrequested is already blocked by any router. The useful half is the other one, and it is the half nobody configures.

They can judge neither your analysis nor your advocacy. They can judge a delay, a reply, and a document list that was right first time.Your sector is not on the list: what holds for everybody
Nineteen articles about nineteen different trades. Here are the eight things that turned out to be true in all of them.Schools and training: your year is decided in six weeks

The agency and our offers

A budget split four ways learns nothing
Being everywhere on a small budget buys impressions and produces no knowledge. Why one properly funded channel beats four funded symbolically.Traffic is not the problem; the page is
Acquisition cost and conversion rate multiply. A point gained on the page is worth the same as an equivalent discount on the click, costs less, and does not stop when the invoice does.The month renting gets more expensive than building
Past a certain volume, buying attention every month costs more than making the thing that receives it. How to spot that moment, and what breaks if you build too early.What a named lead changes, and what it does not
The top tier adds a person rather than a feature. What a single point of contact really alters, what it does not, and how to check the difference.
Frequently asked questions
Who writes these articles?
The people who do the work described, not an outside copywriter. That is what allows the detail you only get from having done the thing.
How often do you publish?
When we have something to say. There is no editorial calendar: an imposed rhythm produces articles written to fill a slot.
Are the articles kept up to date?
The most-read ones are, when a procedure or a rule changes. The date shown is the date of last modification, not of first publication.
Can we republish your articles?
Quoting the source and linking to the original page, yes. Reproducing one in full without a link, no.
