SEO for businesses.

For us, search engine optimization starts in the source code. We build websites Google can read without a detour: prerendered HTML, short load times, structured data, one page per topic. After launch we go through Search Console with you and build the pages that are still missing. We don’t promise you a spot on Google.

01 / During the build

Technical SEO is part of every website we build.

Page layout, titles, descriptions, load time and structured data are what we call the basic SEO structure. It comes with the website. Our client sites show what that looks like in the source code.

    Finished HTML on the server

    The pages of Dein Gutachter NRW are generated ahead of time as finished HTML, with reviews and structured data already in place. Search engines and AI search tools read everything without running a script first.

    Load time on the phone

    At Praxis Kolibri, extra code only loads where you fill something in, like the appointment request. The Google map loads only once someone clicks on it. Google measures how fast a page loads and responds under the name Core Web Vitals.

    Structured data per schema.org

    The page says in machine-readable form who you are, where you are and what you offer. At Dein Gutachter NRW that includes the appraiser’s certificates, at Mert Caliskan his seven profiles, from Wikipedia to YouTube. On Google, his site sits next to Wikipedia and BoxRec.

    One page per topic

    Every service, every town and every common question gets its own address, its own title and its own heading. A page that explains everything at once doesn’t really fit any search.

    How we build websites ↗

02 / Client projects

Three sites built this way.

We don’t give visitor numbers here. What you read here is in the case studies, and you can see most of it on the sites themselves.

03 / After launch

What Search Console shows becomes the next page.

Ongoing SEO work, which others call an SEO retainer, is part of operations & growth for us, next to hosting, maintenance and Google Ads.

We look at what people searched for when they saw your site, and build what’s missing from that.

    Reading Search Console

    We check which searches your pages show up for but rarely get clicked, and which pages Google hasn’t indexed. That turns into a list: rewrite a title, extend a page, add a new one.

    Local SEO: town pages with facts about the town

    A town page is worth it when you have something of your own to say about the place. For Dein Gutachter NRW that’s the distance to the inspection hall, the highway interchanges in between and the responsible vehicle registration office.

    Guides that answer one question

    The question is at the top, the answer in the first sentence, and every statement has its source. That’s how the four guides of Dein Gutachter NRW are built, for the questions people ask after an accident that wasn’t their fault.

    Each language under its own address

    If your customers speak several languages, each language gets a complete version with its own addresses. Dein Autoglas NRW works like that in five languages, with Arabic running right to left.

    No ranking in the quote

    Google decides which page comes first, and the order changes. We commit to what is in our hands: fixed errors, new pages and a list from Search Console of what comes next.

    Access stays on your accounts

    Search Console and your Google Business Profile run on your accounts. We get access, you keep everything, even after we stop working for you.

  • 03

    Ads when it has to be faster

    It takes time until Google finds and indexes a new page. Ads run as soon as they’re approved. At Dein Gutachter NRW, both the website and the ads come from us.

05 / What it costs

SEO costs: billed by the hour, and you know the range up front.

The basic structure is part of the website and included in its hours. What a new website with this basic structure costs, the calculator on the contact page shows you: a cost estimate in four questions.

The ongoing work after launch is a separate package, because it isn’t a one-time job. What goes into it, we settle in the intro call.

Four questions, then you see budget and weeks.

What it’s about, how big, how demanding, how urgent. No obligation and no contact details. If you send an inquiry afterwards, you don’t type anything twice.

Every payment comes after a sign-off. You can step out between any two milestones.

06 / How it works

Read first, then build, then check.

Before we change anything, we look at what Google already knows about your site.

  1. 01

    Review (SEO audit)

    You give us access to your Search Console. We read which pages Google knows, which searches they show up for and where errors are reported. We also measure the load time on a phone.

  2. 02

    Topic list

    For every service, every town and every common question we check whether there is a page. What’s missing or duplicated goes on a list, sorted by search terms (keywords) and effort.

  3. 03

    Technology first

    What affects every page we fix first: heavy images, missing titles, wrong redirects, content that only appears in the browser.

  4. 04

    Build pages

    Then come the new pages, one after the other. Each answers one search and links to the pages next to it by topic.

  5. 05

    Check

    After a few weeks we look in Search Console to see whether Google has indexed the new pages and which searches they show up for. That becomes the next list.

07 / Questions

Questions about search engine optimization.

What does SEO cost?
We bill by the hour. How many hours it takes depends on how many pages are missing and what state the technology is in. The basic SEO structure comes with every website we build and is included in its price. The calculator on the contact page gives you a range for that in four questions. For the ongoing work after launch we offer a separate package. Intro call and cost estimate cost €0.
Are you an SEO agency?
No. We’re developers from Duisburg, a software studio. Of search engine optimization, we do the part that depends on the website itself: technology, site structure, town pages and guides. You talk to the people who write the code.
Do you guarantee a spot on Google?
No. Google itself writes that no one can guarantee a first place. Google sets the order, and it changes. What we can commit to is the work: fast pages, clean technology, one page for every search that fits you. Search Console shows what lands, and we go through it with you.
How long does it take for SEO to work?
We won’t promise you a number of weeks. Google first has to find and index a new page. Google itself writes that some changes take effect within hours and others only after several months, and advises checking after a few weeks. Search Console shows for each page whether Google has indexed it. If you need inquiries starting next week, ads are the faster route.
What is the difference between SEO and Google Ads?
Ads run as soon as they’re approved, and you pay per click. Google first has to find and index a new page, but after that the click costs nothing. At Dein Gutachter NRW, both the website and the ads come from us.
What is technical SEO?
Everything a search engine needs to read a page before the text even matters: load time, finished HTML instead of content that only appears in the browser, titles and descriptions, structured data, redirects and a sitemap. That’s the part we do as developers, in the source code.
Do you also do local SEO and the Google Business Profile?
Yes. That includes town pages with facts that are true only for that town, and your Google Business Profile, so opening hours and reviews match there and on the website. Our office is in Duisburg, like Dein Gutachter NRW and Praxis Kolibri. We do local SEO for businesses all over Germany.
Is SEO worth it for small businesses?
Yes, if people search for your service and your town. A small business doesn’t need a hundred pages for that. It needs one page per service and per town that gets it right. Our three client projects are a vehicle appraisal office, an auto glass business and a speech and occupational therapy practice.
Can I do SEO myself?
Part of it, yes: keeping your Google Business Profile up to date, replying to reviews, collecting your customers’ questions. What depends on the source code, meaning load time, structured data and redirects, is our part.
Do you also optimize a website you didn’t build?
Yes. It starts with a review. Titles, descriptions and missing pages can be added to almost any website. If the problem is the technology, for example content that only appears in the browser, we tell you whether a rebuild is worth it. If we rebuild (a relaunch), we redirect the old addresses so the visibility isn’t lost.
Will I also be found in ChatGPT and other AI search tools?
We can’t promise that. What we can do: the site delivers finished HTML with structured data that an AI search tool can read without running scripts. For Dein Gutachter NRW and Mert Caliskan there is also a file for AI search tools on the server.
