Ads go looking for customers. With SEO, customers come looking for you.

Someone who types “bathroom renovation Vienna” needs a solution now. SEO helps these people find your page at exactly that moment.

Ads and social media

They interrupt people while they scroll, even when nobody needs anything right now. The reach ends when the budget or the post runs out.

Search (SEO)

People come to you with a specific question. A good page can keep being found for months, with no cost per click.

The two work together: social media makes you known, SEO makes you findable.

Your SEO roadmap in four phases

SEO is not a switch, it’s a plan. This is how we approach it, step by step.

Schematic illustration: visibility grows step by step, usually over months. The timings are guidelines.
  1. Week 1

    1. Lay the foundation

    Check the technical basics: sitemap, mobile display, loading speed, structured data. Connect Search Console to see which searches Google shows you for.

  2. Months 1–2

    2. One page per service and location

    A separate page for every service, in your customers’ words: “bathroom renovation Vienna” instead of “sanitary solutions”. Answer common questions right on the page.

  3. Months 2–3

    3. Languages and local references

    Add more languages as pages of their own. Collect listings in business directories and with chambers and associations – the link plan suggests sources that fit your industry.

  4. Ongoing

    4. Measure and refine

    See in Search Console which search terms bring clicks. Improve pages, approve suggestions, update seasonal content.

Frequently asked questions about SEO

How quickly will I see results?

Usually after a few weeks to a few months. New pages get picked up faster once the sitemap and Search Console are set up. No one can honestly promise a fixed timeframe.

Can you guarantee the top spot on Google?

No. Google alone decides the order, so no one can promise that. We create the right conditions and make progress visible in Search Console.

Do I need technical knowledge?

No. The sitemap and language references are created automatically, structured data from your business details. You decide on the content and approve suggestions.

How is this different from Google Ads?

Ads appear immediately but cost per click and disappear when the budget runs out. SEO takes longer but brings visits without click costs. Many businesses use both.

Does this work in Persian or Pashto too?

Yes. Every language of your website gets its own pages with their own address, title and description. Right-to-left scripts are displayed correctly.
