/ Sound familiar?

Berlin has plenty of SEO agencies.

Picking one is the hard part. These are the problems Berlin founders and marketing leads bring to us most often.

Your German and English pages compete

You run /de and /en, hreflang is half set up, and Google shows the English page to German searchers. Or neither version ranks well.

Keywords were translated, not researched

Someone translated your English keyword list. Germans search with compound nouns, different terms and different intent, so the real volume sits on words you never targeted.

Your reports undercount German visitors

With a proper DSGVO consent banner, many visitors decline cookies. If GA4 isn't set up for that, your reports quietly understate what search brings in.

You've never met the people on your account

The contract shows a Berlin address, but the work happens somewhere else, by people you have never spoken to and can't easily reach.

We work the German and wider DACH market from Berlin, and we're a short trip away when something needs talking through face to face.

/ What's included

What you get from a Berlin SEO team.

Senior SEO work, plus the things that matter specifically when your market is Germany and your team sits in Berlin.

SEO for the German market

For most SEO agency Berlin clients, the German market is where the money is. We research German search behaviour from scratch: compound nouns, regional terms, how Germans phrase buying searches, and what Google shows on google.de.

Why it matters: the German keyword with the volume is often not the literal translation of your English one.

What you get
  • Keyword research in German and English, done separately
  • Search intent checked on google.de, not google.com
  • Compound and split terms mapped to the right pages
  • Competitor analysis against the brands ranking in Germany
  • Austrian and Swiss variants where your market needs them
  • Category and service pages optimised for German buyers

You get: a fixed quote and goals we both sign up to.

3Weeks 2 to 6

/ Is this for you?

Who works best with our Berlin team.

✓A great fit if you are

  • A Berlin startup or scale-up that wants search to be a real channel, not a side project
  • An ecommerce brand selling in DACH with German and English-speaking customers
  • A B2B company whose buyers research in German before they get in touch
  • A team that values face time and wants to meet the people doing the work
  • Expanding from Germany into the UK, France or the rest of Europe

✕Probably not a fit if you

  • Only want German copy written. A specialist copywriter will cost less for that alone
  • Choose agencies on location alone. Being in Berlin helps, but fit and results matter more
  • Want reports, not changes. We expect to implement, or to have your team implement
  • Only need a one-off review. Our SEO audit services could cover it

/ Before you choose

Questions to ask a Berlin SEO agency.

Being in Berlin is a starting point, not a qualification. Whether you searched for SEO Berlin, an SEO Agentur Berlin or an SEO company in Berlin, these questions show who really understands the German market.

01

Will we meet the people doing the work?

A Berlin address means little if the work happens elsewhere. A good answer: the specialists on your account come to the kickoff, in person if you like, and stay on the account afterwards.

02

How do you research German keywords?

Listen for separate German research on google.de, with compound nouns and regional terms. If the answer is 'we translate your English list', the search volume will sit on words you never target.

03

How does DSGVO affect your reporting?

A good agency mentions Consent Mode, Search Console as a consent-free source of click data, and your data protection officer. If declined cookies never come up, their numbers will undercount German traffic.

04

How would you set up German and English?

Expect a clear view on subfolders versus separate domains, hreflang checked page by page, and titles localised by hand. Our international SEO services page goes deeper on multi-language setups.

05

Can you cover Austria and Switzerland too?

German differs by market: vocabulary, currency, shipping rules and what google.at or google.ch show. A good agency treats DACH as three markets that share a language, not one.

If a Berlin agency answers all five well, its location becomes a bonus rather than the reason to hire it.

/ Your options

Berlin agency, remote agency, or us?

None of these is wrong. Here they are side by side, judged on what counts when Germany is your main market.

/ Questions

Questions for our SEO agency Berlin team.

Why hire an SEO agency Berlin-based rather than remote?
Three practical reasons. You can meet the people doing the work. We know German search behaviour and German privacy rules from daily work, not from a guide. And we share your time zone, so questions get answered the same or next business day. If none of that matters to you, location shouldn't decide it.
Can we meet you in person?
Yes. Berlin is home, and we're glad to meet for the kickoff, for quarterly reviews, or whenever a decision is easier to make across a table. We usually meet at your office or somewhere central. Clients outside Berlin work with us by video, and the work is the same.
Do you do SEO in German and English?
Yes. We research German and English search separately, because the keywords and intent differ. Our team works in English. For German pages, we write detailed briefs and review the result, or work alongside your German-speaking writers, so the copy reads naturally and targets the right terms.
How do you handle DSGVO and cookie consent in SEO reporting?
We set up Consent Mode v2 with your consent tool, so GA4 respects visitors' choices. Because many German visitors decline cookies, we use Search Console as the consent-free source for clicks and impressions, and tie GA4 conversions to orders or leads. We don't give legal advice and work with your data protection officer where needed.
How much do your SEO services in Berlin cost?
The price follows the work: how large the site is, how many languages and markets it covers, and how much content and link earning it needs. A free audit comes first, then a fixed quote, so the number is clear before you commit.
What kinds of Berlin companies do you work with?
Mostly startups and scale-ups, ecommerce brands and B2B companies. Beyond Berlin, our clients sit elsewhere in DACH and in France, the UK, North America and the Middle East, so if you're a Berlin company expanding abroad, the same team can cover your other markets.
Is the SEO agency Berlin offer different from your main SEO agency?
The work is the same: technical SEO, content, links and AI search, as set out on our SEO services page. This page is for companies that want a Berlin-based team and a German-market focus. Our SEO agency page explains how we staff and run accounts, and our SEO company page covers ownership and reporting.
Do you help with local SEO in Berlin?
Yes. If customers visit you in Berlin, we optimise your Google Business Profile, reviews and location pages, including district-level searches where there is demand. Our local SEO services page explains the full approach, including multi-location setups across several German cities and regions.
