Sound familiar?

Most SEO problems start before the first piece of content.

Without research, sites get built on gut feeling. That costs time, budget and trust.

  1. You don’t really know what your customers search for, or what competitors do better.
  2. Competitors top Google Maps while you are hard to find.
  3. Your shop gets visitors, but not enough orders.
  4. Your copy sounds translated or generic.
  5. Your company doesn’t show up in ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI Overviews.
  6. You pay every month, but nobody can tell you what was actually done.

How I work

Craft, not smoke and mirrors.

For many agencies, SEO is an afterthought. Design comes first, then some text, often written by AI. For me, SEO is the core. Every project starts with our own keyword and competitor research. Content is written by people, for people, backed by sources and checked facts.

AI where it helps

We use AI for research, analysis and efficient workflows, of course. We know its benefits, and its risks.

People where it matters

Content is written by hand and checked by a second person. Unchecked AI content is often sloppy: generic, error-prone and bad for trust.

Measured, not claimed

You see what it delivers: rankings, Search Console clicks, enquiries, mentions in AI search. Plus every hour on the timesheet.

Services

Everything your visibility needs. From one source.

Start with the research. Then decide what gets done, and by whom.

Start here

Keyword research and competitor analysis

What do your customers search for, who ranks ahead of you and why? You get a prioritised keyword map as the basis for structure, content and ads.

SEO copywriting and YMYL content YMYL

Written by hand and checked by a second person. Including finance, health and legal topics where the facts must be right.

Websites for small businesses New

Research and structure first, then design. WordPress sites built with my network: fast, accessible, no cookie banner. Fixed price by scope.

Local SEO for Germany and Malta

Google Business Profile, reviews, local landing pages and listings. If you like, I look after your profile on an ongoing basis, billed by effort.

E-commerce SEO

Categories, product copy, structure and internal linking for shops that need to sell more.

Conversion optimisation and A/B testing New

Visitors alone do not pay the bills. I find where prospects drop off and test pages, copy and offers against each other until enquiries and orders go up.

SEO audit and consulting

Technical and content review with a clear list: what first, what later, what not at all.

GEO and AI visibility check

Do ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews mention your business, and who shows up instead? You get a report and a plan.

Training and AI workshops New

Your team learns to write good SEO content and to use AI sensibly. We review and correct.

Website localisation

Translated is not localised. Websites adapted for German-speaking markets by native speakers.

iGaming content and SEO

Casino and sports betting content for regulated markets. €0.16 per word, proofreading and one revision included.

Why work with me

You only pay for work actually done.

Many agencies earn from fixed monthly retainers, even in months when little happens. I bill by actual effort, fully itemised.

No lock-in retainers

No minimum term. A budget cap is possible, and unused hours are never charged.

Proven as an entrepreneur

I built and sold an affiliate business. SEO has to show up in revenue, not just in rankings.

One contact, a whole team

Writers, editors, technical SEO, link building, Google Ads, design and legal through my network. You only deal with me.

Tested in the toughest market

iGaming and YMYL topics demand accurate facts and strict rules. You get the same care.

Training

Your team knows your business best.

Nobody explains your products, your services and what your business stands for better than the people who work for it every day.

Many agencies write everything themselves and bill for every line. I train your staff to write good SEO content. You get content with real expertise and lower costs for good.

  • Workshops for marketing and subject-matter teams, online or on site
  • SEO writing and AI in marketing: what it is good for and what it is not
  • In German or English. Scope and price by arrangement, travel costs added for on-site sessions
  • Afterwards: your team writes, we review and correct
  • YMYL focus: facts, sources and trust (E-E-A-T)
