★★★★★Rated 5 stars by our clients on Google
Optimised for Google & AI answers
SEO works when technology, content and authority move together. We handle all three, so you don’t have to coordinate three vendors.
Crawling, indexing, Core Web Vitals, site architecture and schema markup — fixed by our own developers.
Titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal links and content that match how German buyers search.
Search volume, difficulty and intent for German, Austrian and Swiss keywords, mapped to the right pages.
Map-pack rankings for city searches like “Webdesign Berlin” or “Steuerberater München”.
White-hat links from relevant German and European websites — no link farms.
Structured, quotable content, entity signals and schema so AI assistants can cite your brand.
SEO + GEO in one plan
More buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI Overviews before they click a result. These systems prefer content that is clear, factual and well structured. We optimise for classic rankings and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO):
How SEO works on Google.de, what it costs, how long it takes and how to choose the right partner — answered honestly.
SEO services (in German: Suchmaschinenoptimierung) are the work needed to make your website appear higher in organic search results for the terms your customers use. A complete SEO service covers four areas: technical SEO (making sure search engines can crawl, render and index your pages quickly), on-page SEO (content, headings, meta data and internal links), off-page SEO (links and brand mentions from other websites) and local SEO (Google Business Profile and map rankings). Since 2024, a fifth area has become important: optimisation for AI-generated answers, also called GEO or AEO.
Google holds the vast majority of the German search market, so ranking on Google.de is what matters for most businesses. German SEO has a few specifics: search behaviour differs between Germany, Austria and Switzerland; compound words (Webdesign Agentur vs. Webdesignagentur) and regional terms change search volume; and buyers expect detailed, trustworthy content with a complete Impressum. Multilingual sites need correct hreflang tags. Our guide to multilingual SEO for DE, AT and CH explains the details.
SEO in Germany is usually billed as a monthly retainer. As orientation:
Our SEO plans start at USD 199 per month, local SEO at USD 99 per month, with no long-term contract. See the full breakdown in our guide How much does SEO cost in Germany?
Technical fixes and on-page improvements can show first movement within 4–8 weeks. Competitive rankings and steady lead growth typically take 4–6 months, depending on your domain authority, competition and how much content you publish. SEO is cumulative: the work you do now keeps paying off long after a paid ad would have stopped. We share a 90-day roadmap at the start so you know what to expect each month.
Komplettbetreuung means one team takes care of everything: strategy, technical SEO, content, local SEO, link building and reporting. With us, that includes:
For service businesses, the Google map pack often brings more enquiries than the organic results below it. Local SEO includes a complete Google Business Profile, consistent name, address and phone data across directories, local landing pages for each city you serve, reviews strategy and locally relevant links. Read our Google Business Profile guide and multi-location local SEO.
Avoid anyone who guarantees first-page rankings — no one controls Google. Instead, ask how the agency handles technical fixes (do they have developers?), how reporting connects to your leads and sales, which link building methods they use, and whether you can cancel monthly. Our guides How to choose the best SEO agency in Germany and In-house SEO vs. agency help you decide.
