SEO · Search engine optimisation

Get found on Google for the long term, without paying per click.

Search engine optimisation makes sure your website is relevant for the right search queries and works flawlessly from a technical point of view. For local businesses in Hamm, Unna or Soest, that mainly means being visible in regional searches and on Google Maps.

Local search engine optimisation

Google Business Profile, regional content and consistent company details for searches in your town.

Technical foundations

Clean structure, correct redirects, sitemaps and error-free pages.

Keywords & search intent

We find out what your target audience is searching for and what they really want to know.

Content & on-page optimisation

Copy, headings, meta data and images that answer questions and convince search engines.

Internal linking

Meaningful connections between your pages for visitors and search engines.

Performance & indexability

Fast loading times and pages that Google can crawl without problems.

Measuring success

Clear reports so you can see how things are developing.

To be honest:

SEO is a long-term game. The first effects often show after a few months. There are no reputable ranking guarantees, not with us either.

SEA · Google Ads

Visible immediately, with your budget in view.

With Google Ads you appear directly for relevant searches, targeted to Hamm and the surrounding towns if you wish. We plan campaigns so that every euro is spent transparently.

Goals & campaign concept

What should the campaign achieve: enquiries, sales or more awareness?

Keywords & audiences

Suitable search terms, regions and exclusions to keep wasted spend low.

Ads & landing pages

Clear ad copy and landing pages that deliver what the ad promises.

Conversion tracking

Measure which ads actually lead to enquiries or purchases.

Ongoing optimisation

Regularly adjusting bids, ads and keywords.

Budget awareness

Transparent spending and an honest assessment of what's worth it.

SEA or SEO?

Ads bring immediate visibility, but only as long as the budget flows. SEO builds up over the long term. The two often complement each other: SEA for quick results, SEO for a lasting presence.

GEO · Generative Engine Optimisation

Understandable for people and for AI.

More and more people ask their questions to AI assistants such as ChatGPT or read AI summaries in Google Search. GEO means preparing content so that these systems understand your business and can classify it correctly.

Understandable, structured content

Clear language, logical structure and unambiguous statements.

Clear answers

Content that directly answers your target audience's specific questions.

Information architecture

Organising topics sensibly and linking them together.

Structured data

Machine-readable details about your company, services and location.

Technical accessibility

Pages that crawlers can read without any problems.

Consistent presence

Consistent details across your website, profiles and business directories.

Monitoring

Observing how and where your business appears in AI answers.

No guarantee:

Nobody can guarantee whether and how AI systems will mention your business. We make sure your content has the best possible conditions.
