Local SEO

Local SEO – gain regional visibility through local search engine optimization

Want to be found locally on Google? As a specialised Local SEO agency, we are exactly the right partner. We will lift the regional visibility of your website. Local search optimization is decisive for strong rankings on Google and other engines – the major search engines confirm this themselves, and field practice validates it every day.

What does a Local SEO agency do?

Local search engine optimization (Local SEO) is a key discipline within online marketing. Whoever ranks on the front positions for relevant local queries earns a stream of valuable visitors. With the right offer, that traffic converts into orders or new-customer enquiries.

Our new GEO book shows you how to make your brand visible across AI search engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI.

You can request the book from us free of charge and without shipping costs – instead of the regular price of EUR 39.90 at Amazon, Thalia and elsewhere.

In our Local SEO book you learn why local optimization matters so much for Google rankings and how to build a powerful local presence for your business.

You can request the book from us free of charge – instead of the regular price of EUR 24.99 at Amazon, Thalia and elsewhere.

We specialize in the local optimization of websites. Through targeted Local SEO and effective content-marketing measures, we ensure your website achieves stronger rankings.

Our work as a reputable Local SEO agency starts with the analysis of your local profile. This step is often called a Local Audit. Using professional online-marketing tools, we examine the quality and quantity of your existing local directory listings. The local profile of your domain is then benchmarked against your competitors. Significant anomalies are investigated and assessed by our SEO specialists. From our perspective, this step is indispensable for sustainable local optimization. Based on the audit, we craft your individual Local SEO campaign and derive the concrete need for local improvements. Should we detect harmful entries pointing at your website (which might trigger a Google penalty), our concept may also include the removal of such risky listings.

Once the local profile is analyzed, we begin optimization. To do so, we run an in-depth local source research. The leading question: which local directories would benefit your site? In our research we make sure that the listing sites are high-quality and topically relevant. At this point we clearly distance ourselves from low-grade entries or fake sites. Only this approach delivers effective and sustainable local optimization.

Once suitable local sources are identified, we handle the entire communication with the prospective directory owners. Through high-quality content-marketing measures we create a win-win-win situation for site operators, businesses, search engines and visitors – while integrating your local presence at the same time. Our strong relationships with the editorial teams of many relevant magazines, blogs and news portals are a real asset here. Thanks to the long experience of our SEO specialists, we accurately gauge the impact of local optimizations of varying strength and tailor them to your website.

Another key element of our work as a Local SEO agency is monthly reporting. Transparency is paramount to us, so once a month you receive a detailed list of the local optimizations we executed on your behalf. As an optional service, we offer continuous evaluation and monitoring of important KPIs (e.g. visibility index). On request, we prepare a report that clearly visualizes ranking changes for your priority keywords. That way you keep an eye on the campaign's success over time. We are also happy to deliver other Off-page SEO measures for you.

Local SEO for AI visibility

Local optimizations matter not only for classic Google SEO – they are also a core ranking factor for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). ChatGPT, Perplexity and other AI systems judge a brand's authority by local mentions and presence.

As a Local SEO agency with deep AI-SEO expertise, we support you on:

• ChatGPT optimization – visibility in the largest AI system
• LLM SEO – optimization across all Large Language Models
• AI Mentions – build brand mentions inside AI answers
• Perplexity SEO – visibility in the AI search engine
• AI Overviews optimization – Google AI answers
• Answer Engine Optimization – direct answers in search engines

Local SEO

Many companies use Local SEO as an effective marketing instrument. Used correctly, Local SEO does more than raise a company's online visibility – it also serves as an acquisition tool for new clients and projects. There are many myths around Local SEO. So what really still works in 2020 in a sustainable and efficient way? As a Local SEO agency we draw on 10 years of experience and regularly attend conferences on local search engine optimization, several of them as a main sponsor or speaker. We have already helped countless clients reach better positions in search results through sustainable Local SEO. We are happy to do the same for your company and show you how to get started with thoughtful Local SEO. We will gladly explain effort and execution in a free consultation.

Companies that want to profit from the growing relevance of the internet must rank at the top of major search engines for important local search terms. Only then will they benefit from the rising number of queries. Local SEO is also an essential topic for visibility on ChatGPT and similar systems – the GEO agency shares this view.

So how do you appear at the top of the local results? Google and other search engines deploy complex algorithms to determine the order and components of search results. Within those, countless ranking factors are evaluated and weighed.

One particularly important ranking factor is the backlink profile of your own page. As part of our local search optimization service, we strengthen your link profile so you achieve better rankings.

Local SEO and link building

There are more than 200 Google ranking factors – yet they do not all carry equal weight. Drawing on more than 10 years of experience, we tell you that Local SEO remains one of the most important top ranking factors in 2020/21. Local SEO works! Sustainably, durably, efficiently! Let us walk you through plenty of successful Local SEO examples. If you are interested in local search engine optimization, we look forward to hearing from you!

As a Local SEO agency we bring deep expertise in raising the visibility of businesses through a wide range of SEO measures. Our clients get a broad service portfolio and well-grounded advice. We also know what new clients value about Local SEO and gladly tailor our work to those particular needs.

Professional local search engine optimization

No top rankings without local search engine optimization – this important message is the consensus of every international SEO conference and the search engines themselves confirm it. Yet not every kind of local optimization is equal – professional local search engine optimization is becoming ever more important: through countless algorithm refinements, Google has become remarkably good at detecting unwanted SEO measures and treating them accordingly. Anyone who ignores sustainability in local search optimization risks losing rankings.

Professional local search engine optimization tackles exactly this challenge and sets a different focus than older SEO strategies: it is about a long-term improvement of visibility. When selecting local SEO sources we pay particular attention to whether they fit the existing backlink profile. Strong backlinks dominate the link-building work. Cheap mass links should never be used – the risk that they damage rankings is simply too high.

Years ago we already recognized that local search optimization is moving from quantity to quality. That is why we focus on professional local search engine optimization. The ranking success of our clients vindicates this decision.

If you are looking for reputable, effective backlinks that lift the visibility of your business meaningfully, you have come to the right place.

Across more industries and search terms we see growing investment in targeted local SEO campaigns. Conversely, ranking without sound local search engine optimization is becoming ever harder – or impossible.

You want to improve your placements through professional local search engine optimization, but your company lacks SEO know-how and/or staff resources? We are happy to take this task off your shoulders as your Local SEO agency. With us you have an experienced provider that delivers professional local search engine optimization with expertise and passion.

How do you find the right Local SEO agency?

Once a company has decided to invest in local search engine optimization to grow regional visibility, the next step is selecting and hiring a Local SEO agency. Below we share a few tips that will make picking the right partner much easier.

• Test the expertise: try to ask a few critical questions before signing any contract. A committed Local SEO agency shows prospects that it knows the topic. Ask, for example, about recent SEO updates – there is always something new to report and explain. With us, our SEO specialists are happy to answer.
• Completed projects: in local search engine optimization, references are not always easy to obtain. Many clients ask for absolute discretion and prefer not to be cited as examples. In most cases, however, agencies can talk about such projects anonymously. That helps you as a prospect to assess whether the Local SEO agency has supported clients of comparable size or industry before.
• Transparent services: have the deliverables defined precisely before signing. A vague service description is a frequent source of misunderstandings and unnecessary friction. Long-term contracts call for an extra-careful review of the conditions. Our clients confirm again and again that our service definition is detailed and easy to understand. You need not fear long, complicated contracts – we forgo contractual lock-in and operate on demand as a Local SEO agency, exactly when our clients want.
• Specialization of the agency: under the umbrella of online marketing you will find a wide range of providers – check whether the agency is specialised in local search engine optimization. That added expertise and hands-on experience are tangible value. Since our founding we have specialised as a Local SEO agency in optimizing Google Business Profile and local rankings. We know how to achieve top rankings even in highly competitive industries and difficult topics.

We are happy to convince you in a no-obligation introductory call that we are the optimal partner and that our work as a Local SEO agency is professional and goal-oriented. We know the requirements of very different businesses and adapt our approach perfectly. Our services as a Local SEO agency are highly valued by our clients. Many have already referred us to befriended companies – for us, an especially valuable compliment and a meaningful endorsement.

Local SEO

Within SEO, Local SEO is an essential and indispensable marketing discipline. A well-conceived local SEO campaign produces a clear improvement in regional visibility, with rising placements in the local search results as a direct result.

Why is Local SEO so important? Organic search results are a valuable source of pre-qualified traffic. Visitors who entered relevant search terms have already expressed interest in the topic. They are further along in the buying journey, which makes them easier and cheaper to convert into clients. Local SEO therefore enables qualified-traffic generation. 

Interested in Local SEO and ready to launch an impactful local SEO campaign? Our SEO specialists are at your side and design efficient local SEO campaigns for your business.

When should you start with Local SEO?

Many companies wonder when the right moment is to launch Local SEO. Our SEO specialists are happy to answer: there is no single right point in time. What matters more is starting a local SEO strategy relatively early. No matter how small or budget-light you begin, an early start lets you reap results faster.

Local SEO strategies

Looking to grow your company's online visibility? Sooner or later you will need to think about local SEO strategies. A local SEO strategy defines the intensity, the time horizon and the quality with which the website is optimized for local queries.

The goal of a local SEO strategy is to improve placements in the local search results. Naturally, only the results for relevant queries matter. The same selectivity applies to search engines: only the largest and most prominent ones count. In Germany, most local SEO strategies focus on the search-engine leader Google – the others simply lack relevance.

Ranking at the top of Google requires a strong local profile. Among other signals, Google evaluates websites by their local profile and decides who ranks at the top and who is not surfaced at all.

Local SEO strategies aim to make a site's local profile stronger – and visibly better than the competition. To assess the profile, Google considers many factors, with the relevance of local information being one of them.

We regularly craft local SEO strategies for our clients and execute them. Want to benefit from our experience? Our SEO specialists are ready to support you.

Local SEO agency

Our role as a Local SEO agency is to deliver effective and impactful Local SEO for our clients. We focus on a sustainable local SEO strategy, ensuring that our clients benefit long-term from our services and the resulting TOP rankings.

For Google, local information is an important ranking signal and therefore a part of every effective SEO campaign.

Why is partnering with a Local SEO agency so valuable for businesses? Local search optimization is a complex field that demands a lot of experience. At the same time, an ill-conceived local SEO strategy carries the risk that Google interprets the work as ranking manipulation – and penalizes it with worse rankings.

We have served as a Local SEO agency for many years and therefore know the SEO market very well. In this role we have supported a wide variety of clients with their optimization. The experience gained from countless companies, their competitors and industries flows into every new campaign. Our clients benefit from this wealth of expertise.

Local SEO in Germany

Many of our clients are based in Germany and operate their business inside the Federal Republic. Over the years we have also become the partner of choice for foreign companies aiming to generate local visibility in Germany.

Why is Local SEO in Germany so important? German-language search results are fiercely contested – companies attempt to claim the front spots through large-scale content and SEO campaigns. Beyond resources, building strong rankings demands plenty of market knowledge. Foreign businesses are most likely to lack the latter. That is where we step in as a Local SEO agency in Germany. Our team is experienced and we hold a sizable portfolio of valuable local sources.

Tap our experience in Local SEO across Germany and start building your local visibility in the German-speaking market today. Many European clients trust our local SEO campaigns – and the results prove them right.

Local SEO agency for better rankings

As a Local SEO agency we deliver better local rankings for our clients. Of course, this is not about random rankings – it is about placements for relevant local search terms. Being found for arbitrary terms simply does not move the needle.

As part of a keyword analysis, we initially research the relevant local search terms that matter for your business and the services you offer. We deploy a wide range of tools, methods and variations and then prioritise the keywords. 

Our work as a Local SEO agency then focuses on optimizing local visibility, which lifts your rankings. Through this work we have already helped countless companies grow their regional online visibility significantly. Better placements bring more visitors and raise the chance and frequency of additional contact requests. 

Want to reach better local rankings and engage us as your Local SEO agency? We are confident we will lift your business to top placements.

Local SEO agency for online shops

Running an online shop and looking to grow your local visibility? As a Local SEO agency for online shops we do exactly that for many market participants. We help online shops stand out from the crowd and reach great placements.

For online shops in particular, a ranking on the front spots of the local search results is crucial – only there will you capture the attention of searchers and turn it into valuable traffic.

As a Local SEO agency for online shops we know this environment inside out and understand the industry's special demands. We know how to take your online shop to TOP rankings through local SEO strategies and also win in highly competitive sectors.

Online shops hold a special status in the SEO universe. Depending on the assortment, content overlaps with other online shops are large, making it harder to convince Google of your shop's relevance. As a Local SEO agency for online shops we have developed successful strategies that lift the local visibility of online shops effectively.

Local optimization for online shops is part of our SEO work. Local rankings carry exceptional relevance for businesses that sell directly online. We generate local visibility for our clients while paying particular attention to the value of the local sources. Online shops, too, must be matched with topically relevant sources, and other quality criteria need to be met. Only then will local search optimization stay effective and pay into the visibility of an online shop in the long run. We naturally reject link-exchange systems or automated link placements. Our local optimizations deliver real traffic and convince through standard SEO metrics.

You run an online shop and want to grow your organic local visibility? Reach out – we will be glad to act as your Local SEO agency soon.

Is it possible to gain a tangible competitive advantage by hiring a Local SEO agency? The short answer is "yes!". Allow us to elaborate.

If a company adopts local search engine optimization as a marketing method and hires a Local SEO agency to run it, sooner or later the local visibility improves. Google evaluates local signals as an important ranking factor. If competitors skip sustainable Local SEO, you can overtake them quite easily with a well-built campaign. 

A Local SEO agency carries the entire process. Local keyword research, Google Business Profile optimization and local content strategies are executed efficiently by the agency. The company benefits from the agency's cross-industry experience – you do not have to build the entire know-how in-house from scratch. 

Want to win a competitive edge and outrank your local competitors in the search results? We are exactly the right partner – our expertise and experience let us design and execute powerful, targeted local SEO campaigns. Reach out and let our work as a Local SEO agency speak for itself.

Professional local search engine optimization – here is how we work!

Professional local search engine optimization at our agency means thorough analyses and research with the best SEO tools available on the market. We analyse with tools such as Sistrix, Majestic and Ahrefs. Our professional local search engine optimization therefore only starts after a free professional analysis.

You then decide which measures from our SEO strategy we should execute. Our SEO specialists put the approved measures into practice directly. At our agency, professional local search engine optimization always combines several disciplines. The SEO specialist selects suitable local keywords and validates them for fit with your specific project. The high-quality content is produced by our content-marketing managers and editors.

Professional local search engine optimization examples

We are happy to share success stories that we have achieved through professional local search engine optimization. In a personal conversation we will treat you to even more practical examples.

Some time ago, a local store reached out to us: although the storefront was attractive and elaborately designed, the operator achieved only modest revenues. The reason lay in the previous orientation: the operator focused on selling products via the Amazon Marketplace. During the annual internal strategy meeting, the client decided to reduce dependency on shopping giants. Instead, the brand of the actual store was to be built. In the medium term, the store should handle relevant revenues and connect with the sales numbers of the Amazon outlet. The operator commissioned us to execute professional local search engine optimization for his store. After crafting an SEO strategy we got into execution. After only a short time, our professional local search engine optimization produced the first ranking improvements. Professional local search engine optimization quickly became the most important marketing channel for raising the store's relevance.

Another example from practice involves a service provider whose offering primarily targets private households. In the past, the provider relied exclusively on paid ads in the search results (mostly Google Ads) to draw attention. Steadily rising click prices and the resulting decline in profitability prompted them to consider other online-marketing channels for promoting their services. We are pleased that we earned their trust and now support them in the field of professional local search engine optimization. With first-class local optimizations we improved their visibility quickly. In a short time, they won their first orders through organic Google search, and the volume kept growing significantly.

Another case study features a start-up that, even in its early stage, depended on rapidly growing local visibility on its website. The business plan called for a large share of contacts to come through organic Google search. Even before commencing actual operations, the start-up reached out to us. After a long discussion in which the goals were defined, we began our service of "professional local search engine optimization". Even though quick wins mattered to the start-up, only sustainable SEO practices were allowed. Our professional local search engine optimization respected those special requirements: after just a few weeks we informed the start-up about its first ranking successes. Soon afterwards, placements for difficult search terms followed. We have now supported the company for several years and have seen how strong its placements have become for relevant search terms. Thanks to the impressive success of our local SEO campaign in the early days, the company expanded the budget for professional local search engine optimization with us.

We would love to share such a success story about your business soon. Professional local search engine optimization is our passion, and thanks to our many years of experience across countless industries, we are your ideal partner.

Professional local search engine optimization costs

Unfortunately, we cannot give you concrete prices at this point – we know neither you nor your Local SEO goals yet. We are glad to put together a concrete concept with transparent prices for you. Just reach out by email or phone.

Our clients value greatly that we forgo annoying contracts with fixed terms. As soon as a client needs professional local search engine optimization, individual measures are commissioned. That is more relaxing for both sides than complicated contracts – and leads to high client satisfaction.

Our clients view the spend on professional local search engine optimization not primarily as a cost, but as an investment in meaningful marketing campaigns. That perspective aligns with sound business thinking and supports better decision-making.

The ranking development of our clients shows us that professional local search engine optimization is an effective and efficient marketing measure. Companies should seriously consider engaging a specialised agency for Local SEO.

Professional local search engine optimization experience

Professional local search engine optimization has been our daily business for many years. We are passionate about the topic and invested in the long-term success of our clients. Over the years we have accompanied many companies on the road to TOP 10 rankings. Our client base ranges from small machine-engineering firms to corporate subsidiaries – we support businesses of every size with professional local search engine optimization.

Why does experience matter so much in this area? Google adjusts its algorithm continually. SEO techniques that were a guarantee for success a few years ago are highly risky today – and may trigger severe Google penalties. Professional Local SEO requires a deep understanding of the dos and don'ts of search engine optimization. Professional local search engine optimization becomes ever more important through this development, in order to secure and hold great placements against your competitors.

We are proud that our entire SEO team brings more than theoretical knowledge of local search engine optimization. All of our SEO specialists know the challenges of local search optimization in practice. Combining theory with practice lets us deliver remarkable ranking results, even in difficult industries or with complex Local SEO requirements.

We attend many SEO conferences (often as a sponsor) and engage in active exchange with other SEO experts. This way we grow our expertise as a Local SEO agency and offer our clients an even better service.

Local SEO quality

Local search engine optimization demands very high quality when local entries are optimized. Only with truly high-quality measures will sustainable visibility improvements materialise. Using low-grade techniques is off the table for us – we will not expose our clients to the resulting risk.

Our experienced team of SEO specialists examines every potential local source in detail and ensures that the website is suitable for Local SEO. We tailor Local SEO to every client. We consider the current visibility status, the local profile relative to the competition and the available budget. The industry and topical focus also factor into our local search engine optimization.

You receive only high-quality local optimizations from us – their quality has a noticeable, positive effect on your visibility. We focus on the sustainable ranking success of our clients and have nothing to do with shady SEO strategies.

Local SEO agency

Local search engine optimization is close to our hearts! For more than 12 years, our two managing directors Michael Jahn and Patrick Tomforde have been delivering Local SEO for performanceLiebe's clients. Benefit from the passion and experience of this well-coordinated team. Local SEO becomes simple – with performanceLiebe.

The right process for Local SEO

We are often asked about the Local SEO process. At its core, it is no rocket science but a blend of decades of experience, the right tools and love for the SEO process. We are happy to share the details in a personal phone call. Reach out if you have questions on the topic of "Local SEO process".

Over the years, the following process has proven efficient and impactful for our SEO agency. Unless our client requests otherwise, we follow this established process.

Typically, we first inspect the visibility of the client's domain – have any local SEO measures been performed before? Which positive or negative effects did they produce, and which search terms already surface the website? Once the status quo is defined, we set the SEO goals. Which search terms most need ranking improvements? Are there competitors whose visibility you want to catch up with? With those questions answered, our Local SEO agency drafts a concrete concept – not just a list of possible optimization measures, but also proposals for the timing of execution. As soon as the client approves the concept, we begin execution. Through clear reporting we keep you informed about completed work and visibility wins.

Our clients love our practice-tested SEO process – we will gladly secure top rankings for your business too.

Local SEO agency – honest advice

From our perspective, honest advice is essential for delivering our work as a Local SEO agency successfully and with a client-first mindset. Our clients and prospects bring varying levels of SEO knowledge. Some companies are already fluent in the universe of search engine optimization, others are just learning the basics. It matters to us that we meet companies and their representatives at their respective level of know-how and advise from there. Our SEO specialists are trained for that and offer guidance tailored to the client's situation and existing knowledge. Our clients value this approach and are glad to receive honest, competent advice – regardless of their starting point.

Why do we believe that honest advice as a Local SEO agency pays off? We want to keep our clients for many years – through high client satisfaction, not through clever contractual lock-in. We succeed at this, as a glance at our many long-standing clients shows.

Why is honest advice for a Local SEO agency so important from our perspective? Search engine optimization is a complex topic – for businesses, grasping and understanding the technical and content-related aspects is sometimes very hard. If SEO is implemented incorrectly, the company faces real risks – ranking losses translate directly into fewer visitors, enquiries and revenue. Honest advice is therefore essential – and we have followed this approach since our founding.

Our honest advice helps our clients to long-term success and helps us earn enthusiastic clients.

Local SEO agency – sustainable optimization

Our focus as a Local SEO agency is the long-term success of our clients. Our goal is for our clients to rise to the top spots of the local search results – and stay there. To achieve that, we deliberately avoid questionable SEO methods. When selecting local optimization measures we make sure they rest on high-quality techniques. The content and optimizations we deliver meet high standards and are valued by search engines and visitors alike. Our work strengthens the local profile of our clients, which lifts the visibility of their business.

From us as your Local SEO agency you receive only sustainable optimizations. Sustainable for us means the optimizations stand up due to their high quality and meet the strict quality requirements of our SEO specialists. We continually adapt our quality requirements to new insights from the SEO industry. You can be sure that you receive truly excellent local optimizations from us.

Why is it so important that a Local SEO agency executes sustainable optimizations? Search engines keep getting stricter with their evaluation of local profiles and optimizations. Low-grade or off-topic techniques are reliably detected. In the worst case, the page suffers a ranking disadvantage. That is why we work exclusively with sustainable optimizations. Our content and our measures provide real value – impressing visitors and search engines alike.

Want to engage us as your Local SEO agency and earn sustainable optimizations for your local profile? Just call us or send an email. Trust our many years of experience and our expertise. We are happy to convince you of our expertise and our way of working as a Local SEO agency in a no-obligation introductory call.

Local SEO agency for your business success

Hiring a Local SEO agency lets you make an important contribution to your business success. Recent years have shown one thing above all: the relevance of online channels keeps growing for businesses. Whoever is not visible on Google and similar engines today loses valuable prospects – and the chance to grow the business.

Improving discoverability in organic Google search should therefore be a meaningful part of every company's online-marketing strategy. Allocating a dedicated budget for the related measures is required.

A Local SEO agency takes care of one important slice of that strategy: it audits the existing local profile, benchmarks it against the competitor profiles and creates an effective local SEO campaign. A local SEO campaign should always be tailored to the specific business. Every company's requirements and its profile are far too individual and specific.

With us, you have a Local SEO agency that gladly contributes meaningfully to your business success. We think hard about how to grow your company's visibility clearly. We design an individual local SEO campaign and walk you through it in detail. Our experience as a Local SEO agency lets us serve our clients in the best possible way.

Local SEO: effective strategies for local visibility

As specialists for Local SEO, we are happy to draft a concrete local search-engine-optimization concept for you that grows the visibility of your company in your region. We are exactly the right partner for the task. Over the years we have lifted a large number of companies onto the front spots of the local search results, so we know which parameters drive that ranking success.

To craft the Local SEO concept we begin with a detailed assessment of the status quo. Which measures have already been applied to the website and its Google Business Profile? Which placements does the website already enjoy locally? How does the local profile compare to competitors? Analysing the starting position is an essential foundation of the Local SEO concept. Building on it, we work out several measures whose execution leads to a sustainable improvement of local visibility. The measures are then walked through with the client in detail. With the client's approval of the SEO concept as a whole or of individual parts, we start execution.

Our Local SEO specialists are highly experienced in executing the individual optimization measures. Careful, thorough execution is therefore guaranteed. After completion you receive informative reporting.

Local SEO service

Our service in the Local SEO space is to build a strong local presence for our clients. To do so we draw on a broad portfolio of local optimization techniques that we have developed painstakingly over many years. Inside that portfolio we find the right strategies for every industry and every business.

Our service in the Local SEO space consists of selecting suitable local optimization measures for the client and his marketing goals and proposing them. If the client decides on the proposed measures, we begin execution of the respective strategies. Our deep experience lets us pick the right measures even in difficult competitive environments or with complex local requirements.

Want to find out whether our Local SEO service is right for your business? In that case we offer an in-depth introductory conversation. We answer your questions about our work in Local SEO and show you the potential of that work for your company.

Want to benefit from our Local SEO service? Call us – our SEO specialists will be glad to advise you.

Local search engine optimization – sustainable only, please

Strong local search engine optimization elevates the visibility of your own website in the region – with a meaningful boost in local traffic as the result. As an experienced SEO agency Hamburg we know the guidelines of Google and other search engines and adapt our campaigns accordingly. We continually engage with the latest Google updates (such as the Penguin update with its sub-updates) and translate significant changes in the Google universe into action for our clients straight away. Because the long-term success of our clients matters, we strive to build a local profile that is as natural-looking as possible.

• We use only high-quality local links – from genuine websites with real visitors. No link farms or spammy sites.
• Our relationships with local editorial teams give us access to fresh links that many others certainly cannot reach.
• Unless you give us specific instructions otherwise, we vary the link texts (also called anchor texts). That gives the local backlink structure a natural appearance.
• Risky tactics are off the table – our methods have proven themselves with our clients over many years.
• We also keep the pace of local link building plausible.

How expensive are the services of a Local SEO agency?

Without knowing the website and especially the existing local profile, naming a concrete price would be unprofessional from our perspective. Just talk to us: we will discuss your goals together, audit your website without obligation and prepare a quote!

Already experienced with SEO? Feel free to share your monthly budget – we will then design a directly executable continuous Local SEO measure. Thanks to our monitoring service, you stay informed about generated local backlinks and successes.

We have already executed many Local SEO projects for our clients. Time and again clients confirm that our services are very fairly priced. We are very glad that the services we deliver typically achieve the intended impact quickly and contribute to business success.

Costs of local search engine optimization

Local search engine optimization describes a measure that upgrades the local profile of a website. The aim of this approach is to grow the domain's visibility for relevant local search terms. When designing a marketing strategy, every company should weigh the cost-benefit ratio of individual measures. The natural question that follows: how much does local search engine optimization cost?

When calculating the costs of local search engine optimization, several items come into play: the effort starts with creating the content. We employ trained editors who often previously worked at large, established media houses. That lets us deliver extremely high-quality content to our clients. Search engines also appreciate this effort. In many projects we additionally produce custom graphics that enrich the content and lift its appeal.
Researching high-quality local link sources is extremely demanding. Locating the right portals consumes plenty of work. Even more resources are spent on building and intensifying contact with the site operator. Auditing the SEO metrics of each portal (as quality assurance) is likewise demanding. At performanceLiebe, our experienced SEO specialists handle this work. They know the specifics of various industries inside out and pay attention to sustainable local search engine optimization.

Based on our description, you quickly see that the costs of local search engine optimization are not negligible. We offer our clients individual local optimization at calculable effort – our goal is to make local search engine optimization scalable and efficient for businesses. Our cost includes the effort for all of the work steps mentioned above.

Unfortunately we cannot list your individual costs of local search engine optimization at this stage – we know neither your goals nor your starting position yet. Once you reach out by email or phone, we audit the situation and then quote concrete costs. Because transparency matters greatly to us, there are no surprises: we never offer link rental, we name costs concretely upfront and we always craft the Local SEO concept around your individual situation. Our clients also pay our costs comfortably by invoice. Our clients confirm that our costs for local search engine optimization are very fair and pay back quickly.

Local SEO for service providers

As specialists in Local SEO we work with many service providers. Unlike an online shop, service providers do not offer (tangible) products – they present their services on the website. The website is still an important marketing instrument for service providers. To win attractive new customers online, strong local placements are a must.

That is where we step in as a Local SEO agency for service providers: we discuss with the client beforehand which local search terms he wants to be found for. These are typically the names of his services or the problems his clients in the region face. A diligent research of local search terms is an important foundation, because it raises the effectiveness of our work as a Local SEO agency considerably.

Next we examine which optimizations the service provider needs to climb the local search results. We also study the strategies competitors in the region use – those insights, too, are valuable.

In the next step, our SEO specialists make sure the company is presented optimally in local directories and on Google Business Profile. The decisive factor: those measures must fit the company and the regional environment. Only then will the company gain local visibility safely and sustainably. As a Local SEO agency for service providers we naturally consider the special requirements of service providers.

Content that convinces!

Our team of SEO specialists, editors and designers crafts content for local pages that delivers high added value and resonates with readers. Such content-marketing measures are an ideal foundation for successful local search engine optimization.

Linkbuilding agency

Whoever wants to rank at the top of the search results cannot avoid link building. As a professional linkbuilding agency we have therefore committed to holistic link building for over a decade. We see ourselves as a thinking solution provider – you receive consulting, planning and the execution of the linkbuilding campaign from one source.

Our service as a linkbuilding agency usually starts with mapping the current state. We review the client's website and its link profile. A comparison with other businesses in the industry is also part of the analysis. With this analysis we as a linkbuilding agency identify what the company or website needs for TOP rankings.

Next, our linkbuilding specialists craft a well-grounded concept. The proposed measures are always tailored to the client and his website. Our years of experience and the many SEO tools at our disposal support this work. Our team knows search engine optimization inside out and exactly which links help reach outstanding rankings.

How do we run our work as a holistic and sustainable linkbuilding agency? The long-term success of our clients sits front and centre. That is why we forgo shady SEO tactics and focus on high-quality links and outstanding content.

Linkbuilding agency: the strategy for TOP rankings

Whoever wants to be found at the very top of Google and other search engines should engage with link building deeply. Because the topic demands plenty of expertise and resources, businesses face a classic make-or-buy decision. Do you build the necessary know-how internally, perhaps by handing the topic to a dedicated employee, or do you commission a linkbuilding agency? Because free time is scarce in many companies, search engine optimization through a linkbuilding agency makes more sense.

As a linkbuilding agency we craft a strategy that lets your website reach TOP rankings. Our experience gathered over the years across diverse industries supports the work. You also benefit from our powerful SEO software, which lets us analyse websites and their backlinks in a targeted way.

With us as your linkbuilding agency you do not need to worry about building your own resources in link building. We take that process over with our experienced SEO specialists. You will be surprised how efficiently and outcome-oriented we lift your business to better rankings as a linkbuilding agency.

When shaping our service we are happy to follow your requirements. Just share your goals and the available budget. Which search terms do you want to be found for? Which search combinations are particularly attractive for new-customer acquisition? Is a one-time or monthly budget available for the linkbuilding campaign?

With us as your linkbuilding agency, your company will grow its online visibility sustainably. Rely on our experienced team that is always ready to advise and support you.

How do we work as a linkbuilding agency?

Our way of working as a linkbuilding agency has proven itself over many years – with our processes we deliver outstanding services to our clients at a very fair price-to-value level.

Our work usually begins with a no-obligation introductory conversation. There you get to know us and our team of SEO specialists. We use the call to learn your goals and wishes. The conversation can take place in person, by phone or via video conference – we are happy to follow your preference. After the call we look at your website and its link profile. We check whether backlinks have been built in the past and how natural the backlink profile looks. Based on this analysis we craft a concrete SEO strategy that grows the visibility of your business on Google and other search engines.

We make sure our work in Local SEO is always professional, transparent and careful – the long-term success of our clients sits at the centre of our efforts. Our clients value this approach and gladly recommend us.

Who should run local search engine optimization?

We regularly receive the question which companies should engage deeply with local search engine optimization. The leading question: for whom does Local SEO make sense? Are there companies that do not need local search engine optimization?

For many companies, Google represents an important traffic source. Through paid and organic search they reach a large share of their visitors. Many businesses even rely exclusively on new-customer acquisition through these two channels.

Looking closely at rankings on Google and other engines, you notice that local search engine optimization is an important prerequisite. Google places significant weight on local relevance – for that reason it is wise for businesses to invest in Local SEO.

Local SEO improves your visibility in the region. With a stronger local presence, relevance on Google rises steadily. For that reason alone, an investment in local search engine optimization is enormously important for almost every business.

We offer our clients honest, professional Local SEO – with the goal of reaching the best possible local rankings. For many years now we have delivered exactly that through local search engine optimization.

How do you spot a reputable Local SEO agency?

The market features a wide range of Local SEO agencies, and many companies struggle to choose one. Below we share a few tips on how, from our perspective, you spot a reputable Local SEO agency.

An in-depth initial consultation is, from our viewpoint, an important part of a Local SEO agency's work. There both sides see whether the chemistry fits and whether the project, including the budget, suits the agency. With a few critical questions, the prospect tests the technical expertise of the agency. It also clarifies whether the perspectives on online marketing match between the company and the Local SEO agency.

Transparency and honesty: when concrete measures are proposed later, the client should be made aware of the benefit and risk of each campaign. High transparency pays off here: why is the measure recommended? Which effect does the campaign typically produce? Is the execution Google-compliant?

From our perspective, an important sign of a reputable Local SEO agency is that no promises are made that cannot be kept. Concrete ranking promises always warrant caution. In that case, ask for matching references that back up the statements.

Clear service description: we list precisely which services you receive from us. Each service is priced individually. That way our clients always know what they are ordering and what effort is involved.

Planning and execution of online-marketing campaigns should always be individual. Campaigns should always be aligned with the specific business and consider its concrete starting position. A reputable Local SEO agency never tries to push pre-made low-grade packages blindly. Feel free to ask in what way and where the service offer was adapted for your business.

We attach great importance to supporting our clients long-term – that is why we follow every principle of a reputable Local SEO agency.

☑️ Measurable local search engine optimisation with our Local SEO Agency

Many traditional marketing measures cannot be evaluated or measured precisely. This lack of quantifiability creates real disadvantages when assessing success. It can sometimes be very difficult to judge whether a campaign was commercially successful or not.

We are pleased that our work in the area of Local SEO is the exact opposite. Our local SEO strategies are perfectly measurable: both the quality and the quantity of optimisations can be pinpointed precisely. And this even holds true before the order is placed: feel free to share the relevant SEO metrics that the local search results should fulfil. Our extensive portfolio enables us to implement optimisations that match the desired metrics with surgical precision. 

Once the desired local SEO measures have been implemented successfully, you receive a meaningful report from us. It lists every new optimisation in detail, with each item directly accessible via a click. This report gives you the transparency you need to evaluate the work.

You benefit from measurability not only when local SEO strategies are being implemented; the impact can also be measured in detail. To do so, we use industry-leading tools in-house. They allow us to detect, document, and evaluate changes in your local rankings and search results. An excellent and promising starting position for the development of further SEO measures. We have supported many of our clients in optimising their regional visibility for several years, and we know that the iterative optimisation described above produces excellent results.

You are interested in measurable local search engine optimisation and want to claim the very top spots in the local search results? We are happy to be your Local SEO Agency and to provide comprehensive advice.

☑️ Can you save time with Local SEO?

A Local SEO Agency can save the commissioning company a lot of time, in several ways: 

• A Local SEO Agency already has the required subject-matter expertise. Your business therefore does not need to invest staff or budget in working its way into the topic. Instead, you simply leverage the agency's expertise.
• Time-consuming keyword research becomes obsolete: a Local SEO Agency already has an extensive portfolio of local keywords. These have already been analysed and sorted according to common SEO metrics. This step alone saves your business a substantial amount of time when you commission a Local SEO Agency.
• Regular performance reporting can be handled by the agency. The agency already uses the required SEO tools. Your business therefore does not have to learn the tools or generate the reports. On top of that, you avoid the cost of purchasing or licensing the software.

Our clients save time every single day by handing the Local SEO task over to us. This time saving frees them up to focus on running the business and has a positive impact on the bottom line.

You also want to save time and place the online marketing discipline of search engine optimisation in responsible hands? Then you have come to the right place: as your Local SEO Agency, our SEO experts are there for you, helping you save time and reach valuable top rankings.

☑️ Creative Local SEO Agency

We see ourselves as a creative Local SEO Agency that has been helping clients reach first-class rankings in the Google search results for many years. Based on our experience, by the way, your visibility increases not only with Google; improvements are usually visible in other search engines such as Bing as well. Because of the lower relevance of that search engine, most of our clients choose not to optimise for it specifically. 

Our work as a creative Local SEO Agency consists of equipping your website with appropriate and powerful local optimisations. Exactly these kinds of measures are the ones that Google rewards and that ultimately lead to better placements.

Thanks to our creative approach, our portfolio includes many exclusive local strategies that you certainly will not find at other Local SEO agencies. These exclusive measures help your website set itself apart from your competitors' local profiles, giving you a real competitive advantage.

You want to benefit from our work as a creative Local SEO Agency? Send us an email or give us a call. Our Local SEO experts look forward to a non-binding initial conversation.

☑️ Reach your target group with our Local SEO Agency

With us as your Local SEO Agency, you can reach your target group efficiently and at the right points along the customer journey. How does this work in practice? Anyone researching something today, looking for a provider, or wanting to learn about a product, can hardly avoid running a Google search. Depending on the stage of the customer journey (general research, detailed research, product search, product comparison, purchase intent), different keywords are used. Typically, every step of the customer journey can be mapped as a keyword set. This is where our work as a Local SEO Agency comes in. We start by researching the right search terms for your business and your target group. To do this, we apply various creative techniques and SEO tools. The keyword sets we identify are then activated through a tailored content marketing campaign. Based on our experience, positions in the search results begin to climb after a short time, and the company is found by its target group. 

Anyone who is found thanks to strong placements meets their customers as a problem solver, not as an advertiser. This can be a meaningful advantage along the customer journey, because problem solvers enjoy a stronger standing with customers. The barrier between the customer and the purchase is lower.

With us as your Local SEO Agency, you reach your target group very efficiently. Our work has produced success for many clients. Time and again, our clients tell us that thanks to our work they receive particularly well-targeted enquiries that can be turned into successful sales more easily than unspecific ones.

We are happy to define your target group together with you and to build a tailored SEO campaign on top of that.

Our ambition as a Local SEO Agency is to achieve the highest possible level of client satisfaction. Many of our clients told us they wanted more flexibility and transparency when booking a Local SEO Agency. We took these wishes on board and built a booking process that is very simple from the client's perspective.

On the topic of flexibility: when we are due to start delivering services for your business, a short email is enough — we deliberately avoid complex contracts. This reduces the effort on the client side and makes the decision easier.

☑️ Local SEO Agency advantages

Why should you commission a Local SEO Agency? Most companies are absorbed by their day-to-day operations and have little time for tasks beyond that. Yet local search engine optimisation for your own domain consumes a lot of resources and demands conceptual planning. A Local SEO Agency can provide these resources to your business. On top of that, you benefit from the experience the agency has built up with its previous clients. The advantages of working with a Local SEO Agency are substantial and most companies experience them as highly effective. The cost of local search engine optimisation is amortised by the agency's efficiency and experience, so commissioning a Local SEO Agency often does not even cost more than doing it in-house.

Our clients value the advantages of our work as a Local SEO Agency, and we are happy to win them over with our performance every single day. Feel free to contact us — our Local SEO experts look forward to advising you and your business in depth.

☑️ Ranking without Local SEO?

The phrase "ranking without Local SEO" keeps making the rounds. In practice, however, the picture looks very different, and there are countless examples to prove it. In every industry, companies commission specialised agencies to improve their local visibility. Google itself confirms that local optimisation is a very important part of the ranking factors. If you want strong placements for your keywords, you should optimise your local SEO — before your competitors gain a clear lead.

Google Webmaster Trends Analyst Gary Illyes commented on this topic as follows: "Ranking without local optimization is really, really hard. Not impossible, but very hard."

Most clients come to us because they have realised that without Local SEO their placements are not developing the way they expected. They notice that their competitors rely on the work of a Local SEO Agency and, over time, are building a significant competitive advantage. Our clients have decided to optimise their rankings with Local SEO. We are happy to propose specific measures that will help your business achieve better placements.

☑️ Local SEO Agency

Many people search for a Local SEO Agency online, and many of them find us. As a Local SEO Agency, we know how to deliver top rankings under genuinely relevant search terms. Our SEO experts work hard every day for the best placements. Our clients benefit from this performance and recommend us again and again.

As a Local SEO Agency, we are the ideal partner for companies that want to noticeably increase their online visibility. We understand local search engine optimisation in all its facets and know how to deliver top rankings for our clients. To do so, we first analyse the status quo of all previous SEO activities. Has the client already invested in local optimisation? Was it successful? Do measures need to be adjusted? These are just a few of the questions we tackle at the start of a Local SEO campaign. As a Local SEO Agency, we discuss the client's goals together. Under which search terms does the client want to be found, and within which timeframe? What budget is available for SEO measures?

Anyone who has used our services as a Local SEO Agency knows that the investment often pays for itself within a short period of time.

You are looking for a professional Local SEO Agency? Get in touch — our SEO experts are ready to push your business to the front of the search results too. Our many years of experience, our extensive references, and our passion for local search engine optimisation speak for us. And we are confident that we will convince you of our quality as well.

☑️ Local SEO and content marketing

From our perspective, our work as a Local SEO Agency is closely linked to the discipline of content marketing. High-quality content is loved by Google and visitors alike, and it is therefore a permanent part of our work as a Local SEO Agency.

When we work as a Local SEO Agency for a company, we develop a concrete Local SEO strategy. We also review which valuable content assets the client may already have. Our content creators then either expand the existing content or produce new pieces. It is important to us that the content stands out from the crowd. Only then can we effectively capture the attention of search engines and visitors. Of course, our work as a Local SEO Agency does not stop there. From this point on, we run an effective Local SEO campaign. It is tailored to your goals and your budget and starts increasing your business's visibility on Google and other search engines after just a short time. Our marketing experts will guide you through the entire process and are available to answer your questions at any time — feel free to get in touch!

☑️ Off-page optimisation

The goal of off-page optimisation is to improve the visibility of a website by means of measures implemented outside the website itself. The three most important off-page factors are:

1. Linkbuilding: As your Local SEO Agency in Germany, we provide topically relevant backlinks tailored to your link profile. With us, you can buy backlinks from a portfolio of more than 50,000 magazines and portals. From the perspective of many experts, linkbuilding is the most important off-page optimisation measure.
2. User signals: Google evaluates the search behaviour of its users and factors the results into its ranking algorithm. It has a strongly positive effect when a website has been able to satisfy the searcher's intent. We offer our clients the option of generating such user signals via real search queries performed by real people.
3. PR and brand management: With public relations and effective brand management, you can position yourself as an authority — and Google loves authorities! A pleasant side effect of PR work is the additional backlinks from daily newspapers and other relevant media that arise almost as a by-product.

As your off-page SEO agency, we are happy to perform off-page optimisation for you as well. Feel free to ask us for concrete off-page optimisation examples.

☑️ Local SEO Agency online

Coming from the far north of Germany, we serve a large number of clients from Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, and Lower Saxony. But because our work as a Local SEO Agency is not regionally limited, over the years we have also been able to provide effective local SEO measures to companies in every other region. We are pleased to be the online Local SEO Agency and your point of contact for online marketing. Where your business is located does not matter to us — by phone and online conferences we can offer you first-class service nationwide.

Our service promise does not stop at the German border. We also plan and run successful local SEO campaigns for many international companies. Our portfolio includes a large number of international websites.

Our agency is set up to be fully digital: this allows us to deliver all of our services online. This brings great advantages for our clients: analysing local SEO measures on the company's site, developing an individual Local SEO strategy, and the subsequent implementation — we have already carried this out for many clients without ever meeting them in person. The whole process is fully compensated by focused online meetings and phone calls. We make sure that this way of working creates no disadvantages for the client — quite the opposite: our clients are delighted by this form of virtual collaboration. Take advantage of our online Local SEO Agency benefits as well.

You too can benefit from our online Local SEO Agency services: our extensive portfolio of strong sites helps you reach top rankings — at fair prices.

We are happy to build a close, partnership-based relationship with our clients over the years. In the process, we have learned that local proximity is not necessary for such a relationship. We have known and valued many clients for many years and have run a wide range of projects with them — and yet we have never met a large share of them in person.

☑️ Local SEO advantages

What advantages does it bring when you commission a Local SEO Agency such as performanceLiebe? We have been doing local search engine optimisation for many years and know the ranking algorithms of search-engine leader Google inside out. Why does this matter so much?

Thanks to our experience, we can assess very accurately which local SEO measures are an ideal fit for an existing profile and will deliver a ranking boost. All of our clients benefit from this experience.

Thanks to our long-standing work, we also know which measures are not advisable — and could even harm rankings in the worst case. With this knowledge, we can design efficient and sustainable Local SEO campaigns for our clients.

Another advantage is that a good Local SEO Agency has many contacts. These special contacts may, for example, include local editorial teams or website operators. As a result, new, exclusive local sources may open up that would otherwise remain out of reach. For the agency's client this is a huge advantage. Feel free to ask us about our exclusive local sources — we can offer you special portals and magazines across a range of industries and topics.

A Local SEO Agency can also be worth it from a cost perspective, particularly if you compare the total cost of local optimisation. Without a Local SEO Agency, you have to build up and maintain staff and know-how yourself. For smaller companies, hiring an online marketing expert is not even financially feasible. When local search engine optimisation is handled by an agency, you benefit from experience, knowledge, and staff — at a fraction of the cost.

☑️ Local SEO for online shops

Alongside many product manufacturers and service providers, we also count numerous online shops among our clients. The latter have specific requirements, and traffic from organic Google search is highly relevant for them. Talk to us about Local SEO for online shops and you will quickly see that we know this area inside out. A particular feature of online shops is the lack of regional anchoring — competition for strong placements on relevant search terms is much more intense as a result.

Our SEO strategy for online shops:

• High-quality backlinks from topically relevant magazines
• Creation of user-driven content — designed to position the company as a helpful hand.
• Sophisticated linkbaits that generate viral buzz

You run an online shop and want to significantly increase your visibility? As an experienced Local SEO Agency, we know local optimisation for online shops inside out. Our work begins with a sound SEO analysis and a joint definition of concrete SEO goals. Get in touch — we make rankings better.

☑️ Our powerful support: tools

To deliver the best possible service to our clients, we use a variety of SEO tools as a Local SEO Agency. They allow us to analyse local SEO profiles particularly fast and smoothly. Potentially harmful links can be identified far more reliably this way. These tools also support us in evaluating new local sources.

We work every day with the industry-standard metrics (visibility index, link popularity, domain popularity, etc.) and are happy to make these available to our clients on request. We are very familiar with the tools Sistrix, Searchmetrics, Ahrefs, Link Research Tools, and Screaming Frog SEO Spider.

☑️ Do you really need Local SEO strategies?

We are repeatedly asked whether developing and executing Local SEO strategies is actually worthwhile. Can't you simply do local search engine optimisation without all that planning?

Of course you can do Local SEO without a strategy. The question, however, is whether you reach the desired ranking goals well and efficiently. Some background first: Local SEO is important for increasing the relevance of your own site for Google. The search engine leader still places great value on strong incoming links.

You don't need elaborate Local SEO strategies to build a lot of incoming links — or do you? For Google, the sheer number of incoming links has been of secondary relevance for many years; what matters far more is high-quality, relevant links. And this is exactly where Local SEO strategies make a huge difference.

With Local SEO strategies, you define a meaningful SEO campaign that is aimed at strengthening your profile in a targeted and sensible way. Only this way can you save resources and still achieve maximum success on Google.

Is a Local SEO strategy worthwhile for your company too? Our Local SEO experts are highly skilled at building suitable strategies for businesses. We are happy to develop a Local SEO strategy for you — we have many years of experience and never shy away from complex challenges.

☑️ Local SEO Agency

Choosing the right Local SEO Agency is essential. In the best case, you outsource your entire local optimisation to the Local SEO Agency. This requires a high level of trust — after all, local search engine optimisation is an important asset in online marketing and can be the deciding factor for a competitive lead in the search results over other market players. At performanceLiebe, we have specialised as a Local SEO Agency in optimising for local visibility.

Local SEO Agency experience

For a Local SEO Agency, experience matters enormously — only with experience can you deliver to your clients a technically sound consulting and execution of local SEO campaigns. The experience built up over the years also helps when it comes to understanding Google updates. Interpreting Google's rules of the game correctly is essential to making SEO success sustainable.

We are proud to have helped countless companies reach top placements. As a Local SEO Agency, we have built up a huge wealth of experience over many years — and our clients benefit from it day in, day out. Our team of SEO experts also handles complex cases and finds an optimal local optimisation strategy for every client.

Local SEO Agency tasks

The task of a Local SEO Agency is to implement targeted and sustainable local SEO measures for the client. The goal of this optimisation is to increase the visibility of the client's website. In particular, this means improving the placements of relevant search terms in the organic search results.

To make sure the local SEO campaign has an efficient impact, the focus should be on high-quality local measures. These typically come from authoritative portals and magazines.

Our portfolio as a Local SEO Agency

Over our years of work, we have built up an extensive portfolio of local sources. Because the lasting success of our clients and a high level of client satisfaction matter to us, we apply strict quality standards when selecting sources. Before a magazine, news portal, or blog is added to our portfolio, our SEO experts examine it thoroughly. As a Local SEO Agency, we use a range of SEO tools and review the relevant SEO metrics for each website. Only this way can we guarantee outstanding quality for our clients.

Our portfolio includes relevant websites from every industry — so we can serve local SEO requests from any company. It also makes no difference whether the company sells to end consumers (business to consumer) or to other businesses (business to business).

Our clients particularly value the fact that we offer a range of strategies and price points for local search engine optimisation. We are confident we can find the right measures for your business too — to grow your local visibility and stay ahead of your competition. Thanks to our outstanding network, we can also offer numerous exclusive local SEO strategies.

Get in touch and get to know us in a non-binding conversation.

Reach an effective local SEO strategy with us

The top spots in the local search results are fiercely contested. In most industries, market participants therefore invest a lot of resources to be at the very top of local search. A large share of this goes into local search engine optimisation — after all, local signals are an important criterion for top rankings. Note that Google does not like unnatural growth and is becoming increasingly capable of detecting such techniques. If you are not careful with local SEO, you can spend a lot of money without achieving any positive effect at all.

As experts in local search engine optimisation, helping clients reach better placements is our daily business. We work to ensure our clients gain a stronger and more natural local presence. This drives long-lasting client satisfaction. You will not find measures from dubious sources with us — the risk of a Google penalty would be far too high. We have been working with this sustainable mindset for many years, and our clients value it greatly. We are pleased that our long-term thinking sets us deliberately apart from others.

Reputable local SEO agency

In times of ever-stricter Google updates, sustainable local SEO is non-negotiable. Unnatural profiles are penalised more and more frequently, with painful consequences for the visibility of the website concerned. As a reputable local SEO agency, we keep our distance from low-quality sources.
To live up to our clients' quality expectations, we work with trained in-house editors and journalists. In addition, only highly experienced SEO specialists work for us — people who can also achieve excellent results in competitive environments.

Cost of local SEO

The cost of commissioning a local SEO agency is individual — it depends on the client's goals. To estimate the effort, we ask new clients a few questions at the start. It is important for us to understand which goals the client wants to reach with a local SEO campaign. These can be specific placements or placement improvements for defined search terms. The existing local profile also influences the effort: the weaker it is in comparison to other market participants, the higher the resource requirement for the SEO campaign. Another factor can be the available time — how quickly should the chosen goal be reached. Finally, there is the question of what resources are available at all for commissioning a local SEO agency — a mid-sized company can mobilise different funds than a small service provider.

Our clients consider our pricing model very fair. From many clients we even know that the cost of commissioning us as their local SEO agency amortises quickly. We always communicate our prices transparently up front — no unpleasant surprises for you as a client.

How much time does a local SEO agency need?

For the client, visible results from a local SEO campaign matter a great deal — only when placements improve does the client really benefit from the campaign. As a local SEO agency, we are therefore often asked how much time we need to deliver a campaign. There is of course no blanket answer; it depends in particular on the search term. The competitive landscape also has a big impact on the time required. In most areas, we can already deliver initial placement improvements after just a few months.

performanceLiebe — your local SEO agency

We have already had the privilege of guiding many companies on the path into the top 10 of the local Google search results. We genuinely enjoy this process, and we bring all of our passion to local search engine optimisation. As a local SEO agency, we have the necessary know-how, many years of experience, and numerous exclusive strategies. The two founders of performanceLiebe — your local SEO agency since 2009 — each have more than 12 years of experience in search engine optimisation. Get in touch if you are looking for a first-class local SEO agency.

☑️ More traffic with us as your local SEO agency

The days when local SEO was about sheer volume of measures are long gone. In recent years, the trend has clearly moved towards high-quality, natural local signals.

Because the long-term success of our clients matters to us, we have been doing our work as a local SEO agency sustainably from day one. This means that our clients receive effective local signals from real magazines and portals. These sources offer their visitors useful content and are seen as helpful by them. The measures for our clients are placed within this context. In high-quality articles, a relevant topic is treated in depth and prepared in an ideal way for the reader. As a result, the measures generate not only a positive signal for Google, but can also deliver valuable traffic to our clients.

Search engine optimisation aims to increase the organic traffic to a website. By commissioning a local SEO agency, your business takes care of a very important area within search engine optimisation. Anyone who wants to be visible at the very top can hardly avoid well-thought-through local SEO.

Anyone who relies on the work of a professional local SEO agency will most certainly improve their placements in the organic search results — and generate more traffic in the process.

Our daily task as a local SEO agency is to build up relevant local signals and thereby drive an uplift in rankings. We are also happy to deliver a clear traffic increase for your business.

In this case, our clients are doubly delighted — alongside rising rankings, they also benefit from our work as a local SEO agency through a growing visitor base.

☑️ Our experience as a local SEO agency

We have been working as a local SEO agency for our clients for many years and have built up an extensive wealth of experience. We support clients of every size and industry — thanks to our long-standing experience, we find it easy to provide professional, focused advice.

Even in difficult industries and around heavily contested search terms, we have been able to prove our skills successfully. With the right selection of local measures and the expert work of a local SEO agency, the profile can be brought to an optimal level even in such areas. While the process in this environment is more complicated and at times more drawn out, the effort is worth it — after all, strong placements on competitive search terms are particularly attractive.

You want to significantly grow your regional visibility? Then you have come to the right place: we will bring you to the top spots of the local search results — past your competition. Get in touch if you are looking for a first-class Local SEO strategy. Our entire team looks forward to your enquiry.

☑️ Local SEO process

Over the years, we have established a dedicated process for local SEO. It allows us to increase local visibility for our clients efficiently and effectively. When a company contacts us about our local search engine optimisation services, the process starts with a thorough analysis.

As part of this analysis, we examine how well the website is optimised for local searches and where the improvement potential lies. In the second step, we look at the website's local rankings and existing Google Business Profile entries. "How many strong local reviews does the company have?", "Which local keywords are already ranking well?", "Are there negative reviews that are hurting local rankings?" are just some of the questions we tackle during this examination. We also look at how strong or weak the company is positioned compared to local competitors.

Once the analysis is complete, we discuss the result with the client. Together with the client we define marketing goals to be reached through the local SEO process. Ranking improvements for specific local search terms can be such a goal. Achieving placements for local searches that did not previously rank can also be part of such a goal definition. Some clients want to overtake the strongest competitor on certain local search terms. Defining the goals at the start of the local SEO process is essential for measuring success later on.

After the goal definition comes the development of a local SEO concept. In it, we propose specific measures for local search engine optimisation to the client. Once the client approves it, we get straight into execution.

Our team of experienced editors creates high-quality content that can be used within the local SEO campaign. We always tailor the content individually, taking into account both the client to be optimised and the targeted local audience.

In the next step of the local SEO process, our SEO experts carry out the actual optimisations. Our large network and our strong portfolio of local resources support us throughout. Our portfolio includes numerous strong and exclusive local platforms — and we are particularly proud of them.

Once the optimisation is complete, we deliver reporting to the client. The report lists every measure carried out and its results in a clear and structured way. On request, we enrich the report with new optimisation suggestions that, from our perspective, would make sense for further ranking improvements.

☑️ Local SEO without dependency

With long contract terms or rented SEO services, dependency on the SEO agency can quickly take hold. The company is tied to the provider for a longer period. This creates a real disadvantage — after all, during this time the commissioning company is restricted in its decisions. Not with us: we believe that reputable local search engine optimisation should work without such dependencies. We therefore deliberately avoid long-term contracts — our clients buy SEO services from us on demand. With a simple email or a short call, you can order local SEO services from us. We offer them strictly for purchase and, for the reasons mentioned above, do not use a rental pricing model.

We aim to make ordering particularly comfortable for our clients. This includes the payment method. With us, you always receive new effective local SEO services on invoice: only after we have successfully delivered an optimisation do we charge for our services.

With us you get local search engine optimisation without dependencies — your business stays free and independent in the area of online marketing! If this is as important to you as it is to our other clients, we look forward to your call.

☑️ Local SEO consulting

You want to build your own local SEO department within your company and are looking for know-how? We are happy to train your employees in local search engine optimisation, Google Business Profile, and local rankings. Equipped with this knowledge, the participants can run high-quality local SEO autonomously for your business. Benefit from our many years of hands-on experience.

As an experienced SEO agency, we are exactly the right partner for this task. We know what really matters in local search engine optimisation and can help you internalise efficient processes that deliver sustainable success. On request, we are also available to your employees as a knowledge resource afterwards — a call or an email is enough.

☑️ Local SEO agency pricing

Prospective clients often come to us with the question of what our local SEO agency pricing looks like. For planning and budgeting your own marketing measures, this is an understandable and sensible question. We are happy to give a brief overview of effort and pricing.

Our services are always tailored individually to our clients; this includes the desired marketing goals as well as the available budget. The local competitive landscape is also taken into account during the design phase. Because of the individual design of the service, we cannot give a flat-rate effort here. From our perspective this is neither possible nor sensible.

The following approach has proven itself in practice: simply talk to us if you are interested in an effective local SEO campaign. In a non-binding conversation, we define your online marketing goals and determine the status quo of your previous marketing measures. You then receive specific proposals from us for the optimal local SEO campaign. The proposals come with concrete prices and can be implemented by us right away.

This way, we ensure maximum transparency for our clients: only when every price is on the table does the client commission us, and we get started. From our clients we know that our local SEO agency pricing is fair.

We recommend treating local SEO agency pricing as an investment — after all, rising local rankings in the Google search results mean more visitors and therefore more potential revenue. From our experience, we know that the investment in good local SEO can pay for itself within just a few months.

By the way: with us, there are no long contracts — local SEO services can simply be ordered as needed. This gives our clients enormous flexibility and lets you adjust the number of services ordered to your actual demand at any time. It also means you can easily align orders with the marketing budget available.
One more important note about our local SEO agency pricing: from our perspective, rental models put the client into too strong a dependency on the provider. We therefore do not offer this payment model and instead offer services strictly for purchase.

How do our clients view our local SEO agency pricing?

At regular intervals we speak with our clients to check on the success of past local SEO campaigns. In these conversations, our clients consistently confirm that our prices are very fair given the quality we deliver.

The marketing director of a metalworking company was initially very critical about online marketing campaigns and their costs. He started with us via a test balloon and wanted to evaluate the advertising effect with a limited budget. A few months and several local optimisations later, we discussed the success of the campaign in a feedback session. The marketing director had fundamentally changed his view of modern marketing methods. No surprise — the test balloon was a full success. Our work led to an effective improvement in local rankings. He now also had no trouble justifying the campaign to his executive team. Given the local ranking improvements achieved, the marketing director felt that our local SEO agency pricing was clearly justified. Compared to other marketing measures, the local SEO agency pricing was even significantly more cost-efficient.

How high should Local SEO pricing go?

From our perspective, with Local SEO pricing you should not look at the absolute price alone. Of course the absolute price has to fit within your company's available budget, but what matters far more is whether the price-performance ratio of the optimisation is attractive. Even a very high amount for Local SEO can be a worthwhile investment, provided the optimisation is exceptionally strong in terms of exclusivity and SEO metrics. With an appropriate price-performance ratio, the cost of the optimisation is amortised over time through its impact — provided it has been implemented effectively as part of a sound local SEO strategy.

How low should Local SEO pricing go?

For us, the question "How low should Local SEO pricing go?" is much more important. The maximum price can always be justified by the value of the optimisation. The minimum price, however, is a different story. If Local SEO is offered at very low prices, quality inevitably suffers. If Local SEO pricing is very low, local visibility may be expanded with weak and overly cheap measures. In times of ever-stricter Google updates, such a focus on quantity can carry an elevated risk.

See for yourself with our Local SEO pricing

We are confident that we can deliver effective local search engine optimisation for your business too. We will find the right measures for your industry and your budget. Give us a call or send us an email — we are happy to put together a concrete Local SEO concept tailored specifically to your company.

☑️ Local SEO management

As part of our work as a Local SEO Agency, we are responsible for delivering professional local SEO management for our clients.

• We develop a Local SEO concept that takes both your current SEO situation and your desired local ranking goals into account. Under which search terms do you want to be found locally, and what range should the budget move in?
• We monitor the competition and their local SEO activities. From this we derive insights for our clients and apply them skilfully.
• We optimise your Google Business Profile entries and ensure consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) representation.
• The optimisations are embedded in high-quality, topically relevant content. This ensures that Google and your visitors perceive your local presence as useful.
• In a detailed report, we inform you on request not only about the measures carried out, but also present improvements in the local visibility trend.
• We regularly analyse your local SEO profile and make sure no risky measures jeopardise your rankings. If we discover problematic entries or reviews, we develop a suitable strategy to improve your local visibility.

Within local SEO management, we are your holistic partner for the effective optimisation of your local visibility. We also take care of the maintenance of your local profile. All measures are agreed with you up front and reported back to you after they have been carried out.

We are happy to take over effective local SEO management for your business as well — and become your new Local SEO Agency!

☑️ Local SEO case studies

With our Local SEO services, we have already helped many clients reach top placements. Our clients are as diverse as our portfolio. Alongside small specialist service providers, we also count subsidiaries of large corporations among our clients. We have also supported various international companies with local search engine optimisation.

• A technical contract service provider approached us and reported that he was not winning new clients via Google. An initial analysis quickly clarified the picture: compared to his competition, his efforts in local search engine optimisation were very limited. An unoptimised site and a very weak local profile gave Google little reason to rank him at the top. Since our analysis, the company has been ordering new local optimisations from us regularly. As placements rose, so did the number of successful new client acquisitions.
• A company in an English-speaking foreign market also achieved impressive placement improvements thanks to us. The company runs information sites in particularly competitive industries and was unable to push past other market participants in the rankings. With an individual local SEO strategy and a number of very strong, high-quality optimisations, we were able to improve placements decisively. The managing director thanked us for the excellent work and has trusted in our know-how with other portals ever since.
• A trades business with more than 30 employees suffered from seasonal fluctuations in orders. In the weaker months, the company struggled to keep all employees fully utilised. The owner thought about how he could fill these order gaps and asked us whether we could support him as a Local SEO Agency. He gave us a list of relevant search terms under which he wanted to be found locally, plus a budget. Within just a few months, we were able to surprise him with the first ranking improvements in our reports. Excited by these initial successes, he expanded both the budget and the keyword list. Along with the ranking improvements came enquiries from potential new clients — and he is now in the fortunate position that seasonal fluctuations have only marginal effects on him and his business.
• An online shop in the consumer business (B2C) had serious difficulty competing against the giants of his industry in organic search. Until then, he had relied on his Google Ads agency, but he also wanted to be at the top of the organic search results. He commissioned us to perform professional Local SEO. A sustainable approach was particularly important to him, as he wanted to avoid a Google penalty under all circumstances. Our long-term concept won him over. He has been our client for several years now, and we are pleased to see how the online shop is growing along with rising rankings.
• A provider of health products had already achieved initial successes on his own and was happy with his first placements. After attending one of our talks on search engine optimisation, we got in touch. He was very pleased with his "own" placements. He also reported, however, that he did not know how to push further up in the search results. Our concept won him over, and he was glad to find a service provider that works without a long contractual commitment. Thanks to our sustainable local optimisation, he was able to improve his placements once again.

A provider of virtual services complained that his rankings were getting weaker over time. In the wake of this negative trend, he had separated from his previous SEO agency and asked us for support. We were happy to follow his wish and accepted the brief to improve local visibility. The first task was to find out the reason behind the weakening SEO rankings. What had triggered the continuous decline? Our SEO experts got straight to work and put the website and the local profile under close inspection. On the website we found several severe SEO errors, which we fixed immediately. We then turned to the analysis of the local profile, where we discovered a very unbalanced situation. Our predecessor had clearly been pursuing an SEO strategy along the lines of quantity over quality. There was therefore quite a bit of clean-up to do. Our SEO experts took care of removing or devaluing problematic entries. We then created an individual Local SEO plan for the company. In it, we presented specific optimisation suggestions to the provider of virtual services. After a short consultation, we executed our suggestions on behalf of the client. After only a few weeks, a positive impact of our work was visible. And this development continued the longer we worked for the client. The client's feedback made us very proud — he praised our work as a Local SEO Agency in the highest terms.

We hope we have been able to give you a first impression of how we can help other companies as a Local SEO Agency. Our clients' success makes us proud, and we would be very pleased to also act as your local SEO agency. We work for clients of every size and industry and are confident that we will find a tailored solution for you too.

☑️ Local SEO agencies

For companies, strong local Google placements matter a great deal, so it is hardly surprising that there are many Local SEO agencies in Germany. Internationally, several Local SEO agencies have established themselves as well. We are pleased that we stand out from the crowd with our sustainable approach. The long-term success of our clients matters to us — that is why, in the area of Local SEO too, we do everything to make sure our clients' placements rise and stay at the top.

Over the years we have learned that this perspective pays off — more and more clients come to us and explicitly look for a reputable Local SEO Agency that actively works on the long-term success of its clients. With Google's strict updates and the resulting Google penalties, holistically minded Local SEO agencies have become much more important.

Our SEO experts have many years of experience and know exactly how local search engine optimisation drives ranking success. We also look at the competition — many insights can be drawn from their local SEO activities.

We look forward to taking your business to the very top soon as well. You will quickly see that the top spots in the local search results have a decisive impact on the way you do business. We have been able to support our existing clients through this process many times. If you are evaluating Local SEO agencies for a suitable partner, we are confident that we are an ideal choice.

Get in touch — we will grow your local visibility online.

☑️ What does collaboration with us as a Local SEO Agency look like?

Our clients first share their goals with us: which placements do they want to reach within which timeframe? What is the available budget? We then analyse the starting point with our powerful SEO tools. In an analysis, we map out the current status quo (Are placements already in place? Which subpages have particular room for improvement? How strong or weak is the existing local SEO profile?). We then provide concrete recommendations in the form of a Local SEO strategy. We execute the strategy — and report back to the client as soon as the first ranking improvements come in.

In our work as a Local SEO Agency, we put great emphasis on the best possible client orientation. It matters to us that our clients feel very well looked after and achieve real success with our services. To live up to this client-friendly Local SEO Agency standard, we offer our services without complicated or long-term contracts. With us, clients can simply book services on demand. This gives our clients the greatest possible flexibility.

You also want to benefit from our work as a Local SEO Agency? A call or an email is enough, and we will take care of the sustainable optimisation of your local visibility.

☑️ Local SEO Agency for SMEs

Small and mid-sized companies need an experienced guide to walk them through the various disciplines of online marketing. As a capable Local SEO Agency, we have specialised in supporting small and mid-sized companies (SMEs). We know the worries and challenges of SMEs in their day-to-day business and offer ourselves as an experienced partner.

Over the years, we have supported countless companies of every size — and brought them to the top of the local search results. The online marketing budget typically varies depending on company size and industry. We have learned to deliver the best possible result with every budget.

Talk to us about our services as a Local SEO Agency for SMEs — we are happy to handle individual elements of your local search engine optimisation or take over the entire process of successful Local SEO for you. With us, you benefit from our client-friendly way of working: there are no rigid contract terms, and transparency is paramount.

Our online marketing for small and mid-sized companies works — we have proven this successfully many times with our clients. Are we allowed to help your business reach more visibility in the local Google search results next?

☑️ Reach position 1 with Local SEO services

If you want to maximise your business success, you should dedicate some resources to ranking as well as possible on Google and other relevant search engines. Such findability has a direct impact on the bottom line.

Every day, an enormously large number of people search via Google and other search engines. Each search engine uses different criteria to calculate its results. With Google and other web search engines, the number and the value of local signals play a decisive role in shaping the search results.

Anyone with a very strong local SEO profile has a good chance of first-class rankings. With our Local SEO services, we deliver continuous enhancement and improvement of local visibility.

With our portfolio of more than 150,000 local sources, we are the ideal partner when it comes to professional Local SEO services. As part of our Local SEO services, we make sure our clients build the right local signals and rank better than their competition.

If you want to rank in position 1 on Google, you have to invest a lot of resources into search engine optimisation. Alongside on-page optimisation, an important part of such an SEO campaign is strong off-page optimisation. The latter is exactly what we tackle in a focused way with our Local SEO services.

☑️ Professional Local SEO

Our clients include companies from a wide range of industries and sizes. We also serve online shops (e-commerce) with local SEO strategies. Many of them have trusted in our Local SEO for several years now and have seen remarkable improvements in their visibility during this time. For us and our clients, trust and discretion matter a great deal, so we unfortunately cannot publish our successful engagements here. Higher up on this page, you will find some case studies in which we report on our successful client relationships. In a personal conversation we are happy to convince you with first-class references.

☑️ Why are we your Local SEO Agency?

Agency owners Michael Jahn and Patrick Tomforde are seasoned veterans in the SEO business — both look back on more than 10 years of SEO experience and know the industry inside out. Both bring all of their passion to the topic of Local SEO for websites and pass this passion on to their eight-person team. As the exclusive lead sponsor of LRTCon 2019, the company also actively contributed to one of the best-known SEO conferences. The success of performanceLiebe is visible not only on the client side — its portfolio of 150,000 sites also speaks for the agency.

☑️ For how long do you need a Local SEO Agency?

The work of a Local SEO Agency supports companies in improving their visibility on Google and other search engines. The activities of a Local SEO Agency are quite varied and typically begin with an analysis of the existing local SEO profile. Which local signals already point to the client's domain? Each source is examined in detail — the higher its quality, the stronger the signal it sends to the domain. 

Google changes its algorithms again and again. With every one of these updates, you can see that the search engine is shifting its focus more and more towards quality. While in past years it was about the sheer number of signals, high-quality local signals are becoming increasingly important.

What does this mean for our original question? Is it enough to book a Local SEO Agency only for a short period? Our experience shows the following: Local SEO is a continuous and ongoing process. You should therefore establish Local SEO as a long-term process within your business.

Anyone who wants to do Local SEO professionally should be supported by a Local SEO Agency. The Local SEO Agency knows the process inside out and can ensure the necessary quality of local sources. At performanceLiebe, we also have 150,000 local sources we can deploy for our clients.

☑️ Local SEO Agency for service providers

We of course offer our services as a Local SEO Agency for service businesses as well. Our experience shows that for service providers, applying a specific online marketing campaign can deliver a significant gain in efficiency.

The design and goal of a service business's website differ in many respects from those of an online shop. While an online shop pushes visitors towards an immediate purchase, a service provider first wants to spark general interest and then prompt the visitor to make contact in a second step. In our work as a Local SEO Agency, we have learned that service providers also have different requirements when it comes to local search engine optimisation. Our many years of experience allow us to design a campaign for service businesses with surgical precision.

Talk to our SEO experts and ask about our specific services in the area of Local SEO for service providers.

☑️ Tips for choosing a Local SEO Agency

When a company wants to improve its local visibility on Google, it usually means improving placements in the local search results. The key is for the company to be found as high as possible under as many relevant local search terms as possible. Over time, local rankings should improve noticeably and steadily. Along the way, you inevitably encounter the field of local search engine optimisation. This deals with optimising the website and other relevant factors to grow local visibility. Beyond a certain level of competitiveness (in terms of industry and target search terms), it makes sense to consider commissioning a Local SEO Agency. The agency takes over the entire process of local optimisation for the company.

A Local SEO Agency can handle the complex work of local optimisation efficiently and also compensate for the company's lack of experience in the topic.

Without practical experience in Local SEO, choosing the right Local SEO Agency is not easy for businesses — assessing an agency before commissioning it turns out to be difficult. On top of that, the impact of search engine optimisation does not appear immediately. This makes assessment even harder.

In this section we want to share a few tips for choosing a Local SEO Agency:

Take a look at the agency's website up front. Can the agency point to relevant certifications — for example, for common SEO software? Local SEO references are naturally somewhat tricky, but in a personal conversation your contact may be able to walk you through successes already achieved.

In a first non-binding phone call or meeting you can also see whether you are on the same wavelength as your contact. With a few critical questions about recent Google algorithm changes, you can probe their subject-matter expertise.

If the Local SEO Agency presents a concept, check whether all costs are clearly defined. That way, no unpleasant surprises appear later. The agency should take the time to walk through the concept with the client in detail. If the agency hesitates to explain things, that can be a warning sign.

The concept should also be tailored individually to you and your business. Have your wishes and your requirements, such as budget, been taken into account? We also believe it is sensible if the contracts are easy to understand and do not come with long-term contractual commitments.

If you follow the tips above for choosing a Local SEO Agency, you will most certainly find a good Local SEO Agency. We of course follow the criteria and guidelines mentioned above. Our goal is to achieve long-term client satisfaction. Let our SEO experts win you over and improve your local rankings. To live up to this standard, we deliberately avoid contractual lock-in and provide our services on demand. Whenever the client wants to use our services, a short email or phone call is enough. We are confident that this transparency and flexibility provide the best possible service for our clients.

You are looking for a reputable Local SEO Agency that can help your business reach top rankings in the local search results — and hold them in the long term? Then you have come to the right place.

☑️ How many Local SEO agencies do I need?

Many companies think about commissioning one — or even several — Local SEO agencies. While commissioning a Local SEO Agency is very sensible, simultaneously commissioning multiple agencies looks very different.

By commissioning a Local SEO Agency, your business gains expertise and valuable resources. A Local SEO Agency can design an effective SEO campaign that helps the client reach first-class placements.

Commissioning multiple agencies in parallel can spawn several new problems. A Local SEO strategy is typically tailored to individual conditions and also takes the defined goals into account. If several Local SEO strategies are executed in parallel, there is a risk that the campaigns will hurt each other. If multiple Local SEO agencies work on the same project without knowing about each other, the activities are no longer focused.

We strongly recommend running a single coordinated campaign. The easiest way to do this is via one Local SEO Agency. We are happy to be that contact for you and to walk you through the possibilities of a professional SEO campaign in detail.

With us, you have found the one Local SEO Agency that gives you and your business the best possible visibility. We will bring you to the top of the local Google search results.

☑️ Local SEO: natural linkbuilding

With us as your Local SEO Agency, you have gained a powerful partner for natural linkbuilding. For many years, we have been taking care of building natural backlinks for the domains of our clients on their behalf.

Natural linkbuilding is becoming more and more important as Google's algorithms grow stricter. No company can afford to lose its local rankings and hand valuable traffic over to its competitors.

Linkbuilding is an important discipline within local search engine optimisation and is becoming indispensable in more and more industries. Companies face the difficult challenge of running linkbuilding efficiently and safely. This is where we come in as a professional Local SEO Agency. Our many years of experience as a Local SEO Agency allow us to advise and support our clients in the best possible way.

Only with the right backlinks do a domain's local rankings move up in the long term. With unsuitable or low-quality backlinks, the risk that the domain is penalised by Google actually rises. The latter case has serious commercial consequences for a business, because for most companies organic search is a valuable marketing channel.

You want to start with natural linkbuilding for your company? Let our SEO experts advise you in detail — we are confident we can support you in the best way possible.

☑️ Local SEO Agency or do it yourself?

Almost every company eventually reaches the point where it realises that local search engine optimisation matters for ranking on Google & co. Shortly after, the company faces the question of whether to commission a Local SEO Agency or to do the optimisation in-house. There is of course no blanket answer, but in the following section we want to share some ideas and food for thought.

The relevance of Local SEO is becoming clear to more and more businesses. At the latest when looking at Google's search results for products and solutions that the company sells, businesses start thinking about local search engine optimisation and linkbuilding. This is where the company becomes aware of the ranking success of competitors and considers how to catch up in this online marketing discipline. This is usually the moment when the relevance of local optimisation is recognised. And the company faces the decision: should it commission a Local SEO Agency or do the optimisation itself? In the following section, we want to help you answer this question — because there is unfortunately no blanket answer. Every business has to answer the question individually for itself. 

In classical business terms, the question "Commission a Local SEO Agency or do it yourself?" is a make-or-buy decision. The company has to decide whether to perform local search engine optimisation internally or to hand the process over to an external company. Both options have advantages and disadvantages and should be weighed against each other. The decision should take various aspects into account, including financial, staffing, legal, organisational, and strategic ones. 

☑️ More visibility thanks to Local SEO

Commissioning a Local SEO Agency aims to improve the local visibility of your business on Google and other search engines. A Local SEO Agency uses various methods to build valuable local links. The latter are an important criterion for Google when determining the relevance of a page.

To be found well by search engines, companies invest a great deal of time and resources. Many small and mid-sized companies turn to a Local SEO Agency for support. The agency stands by them with its expertise.

Search engine optimisation is becoming ever more difficult and complex, driven on the one hand by growing competition and on the other by ever-stricter Google updates. With the wrong approach to local SEO activities, a business risks being penalised by Google. In day-to-day operations it is impossible for businesses to follow and understand this development in detail.

You also want to benefit from the work of a Local SEO Agency? For many years, we have focused on successful local search engine optimisation and have helped countless companies reach first-class placements. We are happy to act as your Local SEO Agency. Our experience and our extensive portfolio can improve your local rankings quickly and sustainably.

Strategically, you should consider whether you want to build up local search engine optimisation know-how within the company in the long term, or whether outsourcing this area to an agency is conceivable. Depending on strategic direction, it is important for some businesses to build experience and know-how in-house and reduce dependency on external service providers. Companies that value a lean organisational structure may want to outsource any non-core tasks — including local SEO. A Local SEO Agency can take over this part of search engine optimisation and unburden the business in the process.

The decision "commission a Local SEO Agency or do it yourself" is also highly relevant from a staffing perspective. If you want to run the local search engine optimisation process within your own company, you have to provide the corresponding staffing resources. This includes both employees with the right qualifications and dedicated working time for those employees. For comprehensive local SEO campaigns, one or more SEO experts working full-time need to be planned in. To what extent your business has the means to create these conditions has to be evaluated individually. If the business chooses to commission a Local SEO Agency, it also relieves itself of the entire staffing challenge. Recruiting SEO employees, training employees in SEO, and handling holidays and sick days for the SEO experts no longer fall within the client's area of responsibility. By commissioning a Local SEO Agency, the business does not need to build up additional staff. This represents a significant financial and organisational relief.

Financially, the decision between "commission a Local SEO Agency" and "do local search engine optimisation yourself" is not easy. A range of factors play an important role here. The cost of in-house delivery includes, among other things: cost of recruiting employees, cost of training and knowledge build-up, and cost of acquiring and licensing SEO tools. Depending on the company's structure, this is a sizeable cost block that has to be planned into the marketing budget. When commissioning a Local SEO Agency, the cost structure is simpler. The agency typically prepares a concept or proposal up front in which the costs are broken down transparently. The business can estimate the required investment precisely before any work begins.

You are considering whether to commission a Local SEO Agency? We are happy to introduce ourselves and our services in a non-binding initial conversation. We will also show which local SEO services are a good fit for your business. We always make sure our services are designed in a client-oriented way, and we therefore place great emphasis on transparency and flexibility.

☑️ Local SEO Agency — generate visibility

You want to build local visibility online for your business? Then you are in the best hands with us as your Local SEO Agency. For many years, we have been making sure our clients' local visibility grows steadily. 

Traffic from Google's organic search is becoming more and more valuable for most businesses. As a result, more and more companies are also dealing with the various aspects of local search engine optimisation. Sooner or later they stumble across backlink building — and this is exactly where we come in. 

As a Local SEO Agency, we are committed to the sustainable, effective build-out of local visibility. With individual SEO campaigns, we help our clients climb to the top spots of the local search results. Many of our clients have been working with us for years now — and enjoy steadily rising placements and a continuous expansion of their local visibility.

You also want to generate local visibility and rely on our experience and expertise as a Local SEO Agency? We are happy to support you and, with effective measures, to make sure your business finally gets the attention it deserves.

☑️ Local SEO Agency — tools

As a professional Local SEO Agency, our success rests on several factors — alongside our expertise and our extensive portfolio of effective strategies, as a Local SEO Agency we also rely on powerful SEO tools. 

We use several market-leading SEO tools. They allow precise analysis of websites and their local SEO profiles. With these we can assess which SEO measures have already been implemented for a domain (and also see their impact) and check local rankings and visibility. 

Reviewing local SEO strategies is, from our perspective, particularly important, so we take plenty of time for this process. Our SEO experts perform a detailed assessment. Their many years of experience with local search engine optimisation help them along the way. They can also generate meaningful metrics from the tools and use them to back up their assessment. 

Our tools are very important for our work as a Local SEO Agency, so our SEO experts attend many trainings and continuing education sessions to make sure they always operate the software in the best possible way.

You want to benefit from our experience and our tools? Get in touch — we are happy to support you as a capable Local SEO Agency.

☑️ Local SEO Agency: outsourcing local SEO

For businesses, local search engine optimisation is a classic make-or-buy decision. In a make scenario, the business is responsible for local SEO itself. It has to provide staffing resources able to deliver local SEO. The business also has to build up the know-how. This can happen via training from external providers or by recruiting or hiring qualified employees. Several uncertain factors remain for the business: is the in-house expertise enough to do local SEO effectively? Is it ensured that the local search engine optimisation knowledge stays current and up to date? Does the business have the right software and tools to perform and monitor local SEO well?

To execute the marketing discipline of local SEO successfully, theoretical know-how is by no means enough — practical experience is essential.

In a buy decision, local SEO is outsourced to external partners. With a suitable Local SEO Agency, you agree on an SEO campaign. To do so, you define the desired parameters (quality of measures, budget, duration, goals) and then leave the work to the professionals.

Why does outsourcing local SEO make sense for many companies? Local SEO agencies have the required know-how, the necessary tools, and the indispensable experience. They also keep the staffing resources available to perform local SEO on the client's behalf.

By outsourcing local SEO, businesses hand the important task of search engine optimisation over to experienced hands and keep more resources free for their core activities.

You want to outsource the local SEO process and are still looking for a suitable Local SEO Agency? With us, you have found the right partner — with passion and professionalism we make sure your local visibility online improves. We are happy to offer local SEO as a full-service offering, so you do not have to worry about anything and gain more time for your core business. Get in touch — we can discuss the option of local SEO outsourcing together.

☑️ Drive more revenue with a Local SEO Agency

With the help of a Local SEO Agency, businesses can grow their revenue. We want to explain here how this is achieved successfully.

Companies have it tough today: a constantly growing number of market participants competes for the attention of customers. The well-informed consumer or buyer uses a wide range of media and platforms for their research.

So how can commissioning a Local SEO strategy in this situation drive more revenue for your own business? Local search engine optimisation makes sure the visibility of the client domain in its region is improved. Because for Google and other search engines the local relevance of a domain is a very important criterion, optimising it improves the local rankings of a domain.

When the local rankings of a business climb in the search results (for relevant search terms), more visitors come to the company's website. These are not just any visitors, but highly targeted ones. They already show interest in the products, services, or solutions and are therefore more likely to become customers.

You want to understand specifically how Local SEO can contribute to the revenue of your business? No problem — we are happy to walk you through the advantages and possibilities in detail. Just get in touch with us. 

☑️ What should you keep in mind when running Local SEO in Austria?

The Austrian market is relevant not only for local businesses. Even for German companies, the southern neighbour can be an interesting sales market. Expansion into that market is possible without language barriers — except for a few dialects.

Anyone who wants to serve the Austrian market often has to be found on digital channels too. In Austria as well, Google enjoys great popularity and intense usage. To reach the top spots of the local search results for relevant search terms, you cannot avoid Local SEO.

We know Local SEO in Austria inside out and have already supported many companies successfully. With an extensive portfolio of local link sources and numerous original Austrian sources, we bring businesses to the top spots of Google.at.

We of course also know the specifics of the Austrian search market. Through close monitoring and analysis, we know exactly which factors search-engine leader Google pays attention to in the southern neighbour.

In a non-binding initial conversation, our SEO experts are happy to walk you through the advantages and possibilities of Local SEO for your business. With us, you have an experienced partner at your side.

☑️ Who needs Local SEO?

Do you really need Local SEO? Questions like this come our way again and again from businesses that are in the process of thinking about their online marketing activities.

We are happy to help with this question. Since 2008, we have been working as an SEO agency for a steadily growing number of clients. We support a large number of companies of varying size and industry. We therefore know the pain points of businesses around online marketing very well.

Many companies are very interested in winning new clients — but acquisition is becoming increasingly difficult for them. The topic of Local SEO also keeps presenting challenges to businesses. Many lack the necessary subject-matter expertise and access to resources. As a result, Local SEO is often only implemented in a limited way. 

This is not just a missed opportunity — it brings disadvantages for the company in question. Any business that ignores local search engine optimisation gives up an effective and sustainable marketing channel.

A Local SEO Agency helps with these problems: the agency has sufficient subject-matter expertise and can support the business comprehensively. The required SEO tools are also already in place at the agency.

We are happy to convince you of the advantages of a Local SEO strategy in a free initial consultation.

☑️ What should you keep in mind when running Local SEO in Germany?

Anyone who wants to climb to the top spots of Google as a business should keep a number of things in mind when running local search engine optimisation in Germany.

Search-engine leader Google has become much stricter in recent years when it comes to evaluating local relevance. In the past, many businesses bet on quantity over quality when building links. Countless backlinks were built up — the origin or quality of the link source did not matter. Times have changed, however; with the stricter evaluation by Google, you should avoid such links at all costs. From our perspective, the use of such links was not really far-sighted in the first place.

When running local search engine optimisation in Germany, the focus should be on building high-quality links. Link sources should be vetted thoroughly using common SEO metrics. The pace of linkbuilding should be aligned with the target page, the previous SEO measures, and the competitive landscape.

To be successful with local search engine optimisation in Germany, you should know the topic well and bring sufficient experience to the table. We are happy to be your partner for Local SEO and to deliver effective and sustainable optimisation. Let our SEO experts walk you through everything in detail — we are also happy to lay out the concrete possibilities for your business.

☑️ Local SEO Agency for sustainable optimisation

Anyone working with Local SEO today should pay particular attention to sustainability: when optimising, you should make sure that the impact stays positive in the long term.

Why does sustainability matter so much in Local SEO? For many years, search-engine leader Google has been placing more and more emphasis on high-quality backlinks and local relevance. The days when quantity beat quality are long gone. To reflect this trend and avoid a Google penalty, Local SEO should focus on the value and impact of the measures.

It is reasonable to expect that Google will continue to tighten its criteria for evaluating local profiles. We are already paying tribute to this projected development and rely exclusively on premium backlinks and local optimisation in our work as a Local SEO Agency. 

As a professional Local SEO Agency, we have built up a very extensive portfolio of local sources over the years. We regularly review every entry in our portfolio to make sure it lives up to our high standards for sustainable optimisation. Our source review is a comprehensive process that examines and evaluates link metrics, content, and visibility (along with its trend). This way, we ensure that we always supply our clients with effective, reputable measures. 

This procedure makes sure our clients benefit from our work in the long term. You also want to benefit from our sustainable Local SEO? We are happy to act as your Local SEO Agency.

☑️ Local SEO: An investment in better rankings

Many companies view SEO measures, and especially Local SEO, as a cost. Of course, expenses are incurred in these areas, but in our view treating them purely as a cost falls short: we and our existing clients regard Local SEO spend as an investment. With this investment, the company secures a meaningful ranking advantage.

Companies that rely on the services of a Local SEO agency over the long term can climb steadily higher in the local search results. From that point on, the investment starts paying off.

When a company is found at the top of Google for relevant search queries, it attracts genuinely interested visitors from its target audience. These visitors have an interest in the company’s content, products, solutions and services – otherwise they would not have searched for that term. This qualified traffic increases the chances of valuable leads and revenue-generating orders.

Done right, hiring a Local SEO agency is an investment in better rankings and therefore in the ability to scale your marketing and sales activities significantly.

The benefits of investing in Local SEO are clear: the size of the investment is predictable and can be planned well in advance – a real advantage for budget allocation. As soon as the company’s local visibility improves, the flow of visitors generated by strong rankings starts to grow. From that moment on, the investment begins to pay for itself.

Would you like to invest in better local rankings as well? Hire us as your Local SEO agency – we will gladly walk you through the possibilities of Local SEO in detail during an initial consultation.

☑️ Local SEO: services for effective local search engine optimization

Our clients value our extensive range of services for effective Local SEO and enjoy improved local rankings at fair prices. As a Local SEO agency that has been active in the market for many years, we have built up an extensive portfolio of local optimization strategies. This allows us to implement the right Local SEO measures for any company. Industry and company size do not play a decisive role: our services for effective Local SEO are available to everyone.

☑️ Local SEO for start-ups

Our work as a Local SEO agency is also aimed specifically at start-ups. We are happy to give newly founded companies a clean and fast start in the world of online marketing.

Start-ups are in a special situation: a small existing customer base makes acquiring new customers a particularly important business goal. Acting quickly and decisively is therefore essential. The situation of start-ups is also often characterized by a shortage of staff. As a rule, there is simply no time for in-house Local SEO work.

The domain of a start-up is usually still very young and, in a sense, has no strong local profile yet. This factor must also be taken into account during local optimization. Optimization here has to be done with particular care and well-founded expertise. If Local SEO is performed too aggressively, you risk being penalized by the search engines. Extensive practical experience is a must when it comes to Local SEO for start-ups.

Why are we the right Local SEO agency for start-ups? We know the requirements and characteristics of young companies in the area of Local SEO. Our SEO professionals know how to improve the local online visibility of start-ups. When you hire us as your Local SEO agency, you benefit from our diligent and effective work.

Would you like effective Local SEO carried out for your start-up? We are glad to be your competent partner in this area.

☑️ Local SEO for online shops

Online shops have always played a special role in online marketing: their structure differs significantly from classic websites because of products and product categories. At the same time, there is a certain content overlap with other online shops, especially when product ranges are similar. For companies that sell online, strong local visibility in the search results is very important – in this segment, good local rankings frequently translate into more sales.

If an online shop manages to rank very well for the local search terms relevant to it, a valuable stream of visitors is guaranteed. A pleasant side effect: this also reduces the share of attention that goes to competitors.

Our services as a Local SEO agency are also available for online shops: we make sure the shop’s local online visibility grows. To do that, we rely on smart, sustainable Local SEO strategies. As an experienced Local SEO agency, we naturally take into account the special circumstances and requirements of online shops. Our SEO experts develop individual Local SEO concepts for our online-shop clients that are both highly actionable and genuinely effective.

More and more online shops are using Local SEO skillfully to improve their search rankings. Most of them rely on the work of experienced service providers such as Local SEO agencies, because they themselves lack the free resources in terms of know-how and manpower. Local SEO agencies take over the task of local optimization and ensure continuous ranking improvements. Many online shops trust our work. We are proud to have been supporting many of them for several years in improving their local online visibility. They are also very glad to have found an agency that understands the special demands of online shops in the area of Local SEO.

With us as your Local SEO agency, you will experience Local SEO as an outstanding marketing channel for increasing your reach and scaling your traffic. Our local SEO measures have a lasting effect and give your online shop a strong ranking advantage. Get a thorough consultation from our SEO experts – and rely on our many years of experience.

☑️ Local SEO for the self-employed

Anyone who is self-employed has to deal with a wide range of challenges. The day-to-day life of an entrepreneur is demanding and varied. Self-employed professionals not only have to manage their day-to-day operations but also marketing activities aimed at acquiring new customers. This is exactly where we come in as a Local SEO agency for the self-employed: our daily task is to improve our clients’ local reach and the visibility of their websites.

Over the years we have developed a thorough understanding of what self-employed professionals need from Local SEO – and have aligned our services accordingly. We are a reliable partner when it comes to building genuinely strong local rankings for self-employed professionals in the search results.

Would you also like to benefit from our services as a Local SEO agency for the self-employed? In a no-obligation conversation we will gladly walk you through the various options and the workflow of Local SEO.

By the way: we maintain a portfolio of more than 50,000 magazines, news sites, blogs and other premium link sources. It is therefore easy for us to find and select the right local source for you – no matter what field you work in as a self-employed professional.

☑️ Local SEO: greater local visibility through these measures

Companies can attract attention in many ways. Particularly lucrative is the attention of their actual target audience. Once you capture it, you significantly increase the likelihood of selling products or services.

For companies, the internet is a modern and efficient marketing channel. With the right message and the right distribution path, internet users can be reached efficiently. One such distribution path is the organic search of Google and other search engines. Companies that rank at the very top of Google can look forward to qualified visitors from their target group.

Unfortunately, the path to the top spots in the search results is not an easy one – in addition to theoretical Local SEO knowledge, software tools for evaluating potential local link sources and dedicated personnel are required.

Our task as a Local SEO agency is to take the entire local optimization process off our clients’ hands. With expertise and many years of experience, we take care of the optimization for local searches. We carefully monitor visibility changes on Google and derive further measures from them. With us as your partner, you do not need to build up Local SEO know-how yourself – that knowledge already sits with us. You benefit from our years of experience in this area and can sit back and enjoy improving local rankings in the search results.

With the right Local SEO, we can substantially improve your company’s visibility in the search results – you benefit from this measure with more visitors and more interest in your products and services. We will gladly explain in a detailed conversation the individual advantages we can deliver as your Local SEO agency.

Would you like us to make sure your domain gains more local visibility as part of our work as a Local SEO agency? We are just a phone call away and look forward to advising you in detail.

☑️ Local SEO for B2B companies

Companies that primarily offer their services to other companies (Business to Business) have specific requirements when it comes to Local SEO. They have to reach their customers in a regional context, where emotional arguments are less effective than in B2C. Our Local SEO work is aligned with these particular conditions. Over the years we have learned exactly how to reach the target audience effectively with a strong local SEO strategy.

Our work in Local SEO for B2B companies benefits decisively from the fact that we have a very large portfolio of different local SEO strategies. This allows us to consistently present our clients in an appropriate and impactful environment.

☑️ Local SEO for B2C companies

Are your company’s services or products aimed directly at consumers? Then your online marketing campaigns should be tailored to that environment as well. We have observed that the performance of a Local SEO agency becomes significantly more efficient when this fact is reflected in campaign design.

Business-to-consumer companies often address their audience outside of a professional context. Local SEO measures should therefore be selected accordingly. Our extensive portfolio of local SEO strategies includes a wide variety of techniques that fit perfectly into the consumer environment.

As a Local SEO agency, we can offer our B2C clients a special service: we have the right Local SEO strategy for every industry – whether fashion, gardening, news, sports, multimedia, computers or any other popular consumer topic.

☑️ How does Local SEO help with new customer acquisition?

There are many ways to grow a company’s revenue. One of the best known is finding new buyers for the company’s products or services – this is also referred to as new customer acquisition. There are several routes to acquiring new customers, and one of them is hiring a Local SEO agency.

A Local SEO agency makes sure that the company, or rather its domain, is provided with new local optimizations. When Local SEO is carried out professionally, the result is rising rankings. The company starts to be found for an ever-growing number of relevant local search terms and generates valuable traffic. This traffic translates into more interest in the company’s products and services, provided the website is conversion-optimized. To make sure the Local SEO measure has the maximum effect, a great deal of practical experience is required. Established Local SEO agencies are therefore the right partner.

On request, we draw up a concrete Local SEO plan for our clients. We always start from the individual baseline (existing local rankings, competitor analysis). Our SEO experts know Local SEO not only in theory – we have proven our expertise in countless client projects as well.

• Learn from your competition: it often pays off to analyze the local strategies of competitors that already rank at the top of Google for the relevant local search terms. From this, you can derive insights about what works in this region and for these keywords.

Our Local SEO experts know the field inside out and are happy to give you tailored tips for your specific domain.

☑️ How can Local SEO costs be reduced?

Companies are always looking for areas and ways to reduce their costs. Marketing spend is often part of these considerations. Can Local SEO costs be reduced while still achieving the same effect on local optimization?

For a well-planned Local SEO campaign, cutting the budget means cutting the impact. In that case, ranking improvements arrive later or are not as strong as they would have been with the originally planned budget. A delay in ranking gains can be acceptable for some companies, especially when there are enough other channels for new customer acquisition.

One thing should always be clear: with Local SEO you are pursuing a specific goal – namely, improving local visibility and therefore rankings. If you slow down the measure, you also reap the planned benefits later.

We plan our clients’ Local SEO campaigns efficiently and with a clear goal. By doing so, we already actively help our clients reduce Local SEO costs. Would you also like to benefit from our expertise and optimize your Local SEO costs in a targeted way? No problem – just get in touch with us.

☑️ Local SEO off-page optimization

Modern companies have access to a wide range of marketing channels. Local SEO off-page optimization is one such channel. The term is a bit unwieldy and brings several aspects together.

SEO is the marketing discipline of search engine optimization. This is a broad field that includes various sub-topics. The goal of every SEO measure is to improve visibility for relevant terms on Google and other search engines.

Off-page describes a part of search engine optimization. It is about improving rankings using measures that do not take place on your own website. In many industries, good rankings are no longer possible without intensive off-page measures, because other market players use this technique.

Local SEO refers to optimization for local search queries. Local SEO is counted among off-page measures. For Google and other search engines, local signals are an important criterion when evaluating a domain.

Are you interested in Local SEO off-page optimization and want to finally be found locally with your business? We are your reliable partner for effective Local SEO for your company.

☑️ Do you need Local SEO tools?

There are many SEO tools that can be used for the various tasks involved in Local SEO. Most of these tools are offered as software as a service. Usage is typically billed monthly or annually.

Our clients keep asking us whether Local SEO tools are needed at all. With our many years of Local SEO experience, our answer is clear:

Local SEO without using SEO tools is possible, but it makes no sense. Without tools, you cannot properly analyze your own local rankings, nor those of your competitors. Potential local optimization opportunities also cannot be evaluated.

Our clients neither have to license the Local SEO tools themselves nor learn how to use them. Our SEO experts handle all tasks related to successful local optimization.

We start by analyzing the status quo for our clients, using the leading Local SEO tools on the market. Our local optimizations are also reviewed regularly with SEO software, so we can make sure our measures always deliver maximum impact.

Would you like to benefit from the valuable data and insights that Local SEO tools provide? Then hire us as your Local SEO agency!

As a Local SEO agency we are well versed in local optimization in 2026 and use all techniques with great success for our clients:

Mentions in high-quality local directories and reviews are important for Local SEO in 2026.
2. Building as many local signals as possible in a short time? Those days are over. Search engines have moved away from low-quality signals. Anyone who still favors quantity over quality in Local SEO 2026 risks ranking losses.
3. For successful Local SEO in 2026, the focus should be on maintaining your own local profile. Strong new local signals should be built up, while inappropriate or low-quality signals should be removed or devalued.

☑️ Successful Local SEO strategies

We are repeatedly asked whether there are universally valid, successful strategies for Local SEO. Behind that question always lies the hope that, with little effort, you could fall back on a working playbook.

There is no single all-purpose Local SEO strategy or set of them, because Local SEO should always be tailored to the specific website and the existing profile. Industry and the relevant search terms of a business also play an important role in shaping a Local SEO strategy.

What we can say about successful Local SEO strategies is that the focus is on high-quality local directory entries and reviews. The days when you could rely on unspectacular mentions are long gone – and Google does not look kindly on them anymore either.

☑️ Successful search engine optimization with a Local SEO agency

It is no secret anymore: you only reach really strong rankings for competitive search terms with a sophisticated SEO strategy. Such a strategy includes a wide range of measures that help Google (and visitors) better understand and value the website.

An important component of a successful campaign is Local SEO. Search-engine leader Google places great value on a strong local presence and takes local signals into account when calculating rankings.

A Local SEO agency can take the complex work of local optimization off your hands. This brings several benefits for your business:

• A Local SEO agency is highly skilled at analyzing and evaluating local search signals. The team of such an agency understands how to assess the impact of local optimizations realistically and, on that basis, design an effective SEO campaign.
• A good Local SEO agency uses various SEO tools to evaluate the relevant metrics of a domain. With these tools, SEO experts can gain valuable insights into a domain’s potential and opportunities. Different leading SEO tools also make it possible to scrutinize a competitor’s Local SEO strategy. Useful insights can be derived from this as well.
• A broad portfolio: an experienced Local SEO agency can offer local optimizations from a broad portfolio. The portfolio is not just about the number of available optimization options – the quality requirements for the local signals you can obtain are equally crucial. Another important criterion for a strong portfolio is high diversity – in order to meet every client’s needs, the local signals should differ in terms of their thematic environments and publication formats.

With us, you have found a reliable and experienced partner whose goal is the sustainable improvement of your rankings in Google search. Let us convince you of the quality of our work in a no-obligation initial consultation. We are confident that we can also help your business achieve top rankings.

☑️ How quickly does Local SEO work?

People interested in Local SEO – that is, in reaching the top spots in search engines through local optimization – often ask how quickly Local SEO produces results.

Local SEO is, fundamentally, an effective measure for increasing the visibility of your business on Google. One of its goals is to upgrade your own local profile. Optimization usually takes some time, because building local signals too quickly is risky.

It is a better and clearer approach to improve the local profile in iterative steps. As a rule, you also incorporate insights from competitors’ local profiles.

Back to the original question: how quickly does Local SEO work? Although Local SEO is a continuous process, our clients see initial results within a short time. Our extensive Local SEO experience makes our measures particularly effective and impactful.

Over time, those first wins turn into more numerous and bigger improvements. Our clients are enthusiastic about our Local SEO work and emphasize again and again how much they appreciate our measures.

If you would like to improve your business’s online visibility with Local SEO, we are the ideal partner for the job. Extensive experience and a portfolio of more than 50,000 local signals help us implement Local SEO effectively for you.

☑️ What do good Local SEO strategies look like?

Anyone who wants to be at the very top of local search results has to prepare their website and their local profile in the best possible way. The optimization should not be aimed only at visitors – it should also target search engines. A solid Local SEO strategy is one part of that optimization.

With a good Local SEO strategy, businesses can upgrade their local profile and achieve better rankings as a result. But many companies lack the necessary know-how to develop a strong Local SEO strategy.

A good Local SEO strategy spells out a plan for strategic local optimization. It defines which local signals are to be built up over a particular period, and the source and content are also specified.

For a Local SEO strategy to be successful, the existing local profile should also be considered. If a lot of SEO has already been done in the past, you can take advantage of that prior work – provided it is of sufficient quality. If the existing local profile shows quality weaknesses, those need to be addressed first.

Good Local SEO strategies also take the local profile and optimizations of competitors into account. Many insights for your own Local SEO strategy can be drawn from competitors’ successful rankings.

Our SEO experts will gladly create an individual Local SEO strategy for you.

☑️ How do Local SEO services work?

Local SEO services supply businesses with local signals for their own website. Companies make particular use of Local SEO services when it comes to off-page SEO optimization.

Providers of Local SEO services usually have a large number of local sources at their disposal and a great deal of experience evaluating local profiles.

At performanceliebe we specialize in Local SEO services and have many years of experience. Because the long-term success of our clients matters to us, we pay close attention to the high quality of the service.

High-quality Local SEO services are reflected, on the one hand, in well-founded advice. Just as important is the high quality of the local sources, so the signals we set have maximum impact.

Our Local SEO services are very straightforward: the client sends us their target domain and tells us, where applicable, what they expect in terms of local sources, budget and ranking goals. We then create a list of suitable suggestions and discuss them with the client. The client decides which local signals we are to build up.

We then start implementing the Local SEO services right away and make sure the signals are built up as requested.

☑️ What is trending in Local SEO 2026?

In Local SEO 2026 there is a very clear trend. We have been observing for several years that Google is becoming ever stricter when evaluating local profiles. Poor or low-quality local signals can significantly hurt the ranking of a domain – especially if there are only a few or no high-quality signals.

Anyone wanting to do Local SEO in 2026 should absolutely focus on high quality. In this case, high quality means that local signals are placed in a high-quality environment. The source should have appropriate relevance. The content in which the signal is placed should also be of very good quality.

To succeed with Local SEO, more attention should be paid to optimizing local search rankings. This includes not only keeping the company’s information on Google Business Profile up to date, but also critically reviewing the relevant Local SEO metrics.

Local SEO is not exactly trivial for companies; many of them lack the relevant expertise and experience to properly assess Local SEO strategies. We are happy to offer our work as Local SEO experts and support businesses in implementing Local SEO.

Are you interested in Local SEO? Get in touch with us – we will be happy to advise you in detail.

☑️ How many Local SEO tools do you need?

For day-to-day Local SEO work, professionals rely on a variety of tools. The tools help to analyze your own local rankings and to scrutinize your competitors’ strategy. Based on these insights, you can derive an efficient and effective Local SEO strategy.

Local SEO tools are therefore an indispensable helper when building a strong local presence. But how many tools do you actually need?

First of all: there is no “correct” number of Local SEO tools. What is much more important is to choose the tools based on the tasks or features you want. The available budget also has a strong influence on the choice and number of Local SEO tools.

Another important aspect of the question of how many Local SEO tools you need is that you should also factor in the time required to learn each tool properly. The principle is: better to master a few tools perfectly than to use many tools incorrectly.

As Local SEO experts we use various leading Local SEO tools. They allow us to provide optimal advice for our client projects. We make sure our software always delivers the best, most reliable results. That is why we use multiple tools to evaluate local rankings. This way we get a particularly comprehensive picture of local visibility.

☑️ Why do Local SEO strategies pay off?

Many companies do Local SEO without specific goals and without a detailed plan. In a great many cases this leads to serious problems, since the Local SEO measures often do not deliver the desired success.

So the company invests a lot of money in Local SEO, but for lack of a strategy the money is not used to its full potential. In the worst case, the investment simply fizzles out.

This is exactly the problem Local SEO strategies solve. Creating a Local SEO strategy starts with an analysis of the local SEO baseline. Which measures have already been carried out in the past, and what results were achieved? A look at the competition along with their Local SEO strategies also promises valuable insights.

Based on the knowledge gathered in this way, the Local SEO campaign is then designed. Goals for the Local SEO measure are defined – for example, ranking improvements for specific search terms within a certain period.

Possible local directories and platforms are then researched, with which the desired goals can be reached. Implementing such Local SEO strategies improves the efficiency and impact of Local SEO many times over compared to acting without a plan.

For search engines like Google, outstanding quality is essential. In recent years in particular, the criteria for evaluating such measures have become much

stricter – and search engines place a greater focus on quality.

☑️ 4 tips for hiring a Local SEO agency

The following four tips help businesses succeed when hiring a Local SEO agency:

1. Think about the goals of the Local SEO campaign in advance. Which search terms matter to you, which local ranking improvements are desired? In your conversation with the agency, communicate these goals from the start. Of course they can be adjusted in joint dialogue, but without goal definition the chances of campaign success are lower.
2. Have the agency explain its services in detail. Which strategy does the Local SEO agency want to pursue to improve your local rankings? Do not let yourself be fobbed off with vaguely defined packages – ask about each specific service. The Local SEO agency should communicate openly and transparently.
3. In addition to a detailed description of services, prices should also be communicated clearly upfront. Here too, in the customer’s interest, every service or optimization should be priced individually. This gives the client maximum flexibility.
4. Ask the Local SEO agency about its existing experience. Which industries or search terms has the Local SEO agency already optimized successfully?

We hope these tips for hiring a Local SEO agency are helpful. Our SEO experts are at your disposal for an initial consultation.

☑️ What are the best Local SEO tips?

Answering this question is actually quite simple: the best Local SEO tips are the ones that work. Below we are happy to list a few tips that will help you take your Local SEO to a new level.

1. Focus on quality, not on quantity: search engines place ever greater emphasis on the high quality of local signals. That means the source should be reputable and have appropriate Local SEO metrics. Relying on low-quality sources here would be saving money in the wrong place.
2. Take your cue from your competitors’ Local SEO strategies. Companies that already hold the top spots in local search results have already done many things right. So it does not hurt to take a close look at their Local SEO strategies.
3. Take a long-term view of Local SEO – it is not a one-shot measure but should be carried out over an extended period. This makes a better impression on search engines.
4. Hire a professional: at first glance, Local SEO looks rather trivial. In practice, however, it turns out that, without the right experience and resources, success is not guaranteed.

Do you need someone who implements the best Local SEO tips with passion and experience? Then you have come to the right place.

☑️ Local SEO costs – one-time and recurring

Before planning and running a Local SEO campaign, businesses often ask themselves how big the investment will be. How high are Local SEO costs? And how do they break down into one-time and recurring costs?

The cost of a Local SEO campaign depends on a wide range of factors. The scope of the campaign has the strongest influence on costs. The more local signals are optimized, the more budget is required. The number of signals to optimize depends both on the state of the current profile and on the desired goal (number of search terms, difficulty of search terms, etc.).

As mentioned above, some SEO agencies split costs into one-time (often due at contract signing) and recurring (for example monthly) charges. We handle this differently and hope, in doing so, to serve our clients even better.

We offer our clients concrete Local SEO proposals and quote the corresponding costs for each one. The client can simply confirm the proposals and we get started with implementation right away. With us, there are no setup fees and no long contract terms. Our Local SEO is delivered, in effect, on demand.

Do you find transparent presentation and communication of Local SEO costs important? Then we are the right partner for efficient campaigns.

☑️ HTML NoFollow links: a practical guide for online agencies

NoFollow links, marked with the HTML attribute `rel="nofollow"`, are essential for online agencies to control a website’s link profile. They signal to search engines that a link should not be considered for the ranking of the linked page. This is especially important for paid links, comments or other links that do not serve as an editorial recommendation. Implementation is simple: add the attribute `rel="nofollow"` to the HTML code of the link in question. Although NoFollow links have no direct influence on PageRank, they contribute to the diversity of the link profile and can be useful for generating traffic. A 

balanced ratio of DoFollow and NoFollow links is recommended for a natural and effective SEO strategy.

☑️ NoFollow links: strategies for online agencies

NoFollow links, marked by the `rel="nofollow"` attribute in the HTML code, are an important tool for online agencies for controlling a website’s link profile. They signal to search engines that a link should not contribute to influencing the ranking of the linked page. This is particularly relevant for paid links, comments or forum posts, in order to safeguard the integrity of the website. Although NoFollow links do not directly influence PageRank, they are valuable for generating traffic and brand presence. A balanced ratio of NoFollow and DoFollow links is decisive for a natural, credible backlink profile. Online agencies should use NoFollow links strategically to support their clients’ SEO strategy while staying within search engine guidelines.

☑️ Link-building platforms: a guide for online agencies

Link-building platforms are essential for online agencies to develop effective backlink strategies. These platforms provide access to a network of websites where links can be placed and make it easier to identify relevant link opportunities. When choosing a platform, pay attention to the variety and quality of the link sources, ease of use and analytical features. Use platforms that cover a wide range of industries and offer high-quality analysis tools to evaluate the authority and relevance of potential link sources. Avoid platforms that promote unnatural or spammy links, as these can negatively affect rankings. The strategic use of link-building platforms, combined with high-quality content and manual outreach, can significantly strengthen your clients’ backlink profile.

☑️ Link building in Germany: strategies for online agencies

For effective link building in Germany, online agencies should take local SEO practices and cultural factors into account. Focus on building backlinks from German websites with high domain authority that are topically relevant. Use local directories and trade registers for high-quality entries. Guest posts on German blogs and collaborations with German influencers can also generate valuable backlinks. Pay attention to language relevance – links from German-language sites are more effective for ranking in the German market. Get involved in local online communities and specialist forums to increase visibility and networking opportunities. A targeted, localized link-building strategy that prioritizes quality and relevance is decisive for success in the German online market.

☑️ DoFollow links: a short guide for online agencies

DoFollow links are an essential element of search engine optimization (SEO). Unlike NoFollow links, DoFollow links pass on “link juice” and strengthen the PageRank of the linked page. For online agencies it is essential to maintain a balanced ratio of DoFollow and NoFollow links to keep the link profile natural. When building DoFollow links, agencies should pay attention to the quality and relevance of the link sources. High-quality, topically relevant links from trustworthy sites are the most effective. Caution is advised with excessive link exchanges or buying links, as this can be regarded by search engines as manipulative. The strategic placement of DoFollow links in high-quality content, guest posts and partnerships can significantly improve the visibility and ranking of your clients’ websites.

☑️ How Local SEO can fight negative SEO

Negative SEO refers to measures aimed at reducing the visibility of domains. This technique is often used by competitors. Without experience and the right tools it is very difficult to recognize that you are the target of such an attack. This is exactly where Local SEO agencies come in:

Local SEO agencies can proactively analyze and monitor the local presence of their clients. When new suspicious entries appear, suitable countermeasures can be initiated in good time.

A Local SEO agency can also help clean up the local presence by removing poor or harmful entries. This is another good measure for blunting negative SEO attacks.

If a business has the feeling it is the victim of a negative SEO attack, or even spots the first signs, it should absolutely consult a competent Local SEO agency. Such an agency can react to the threat early and prevent greater damage.
