SEO for startups that need traction, not a content mill

    Early-stage teams don't need forty blog posts. They need a site crawlers can read, a handful of pages that match real buyer searches, and a way to prove the channel is working before the next board meeting.

    Packages range from €1,200 to €5,000, or a one-time foundation at €1,200 if you want to test the channel first.

    Demand validation before content

    Weeks 1–2

    Before writing anything, we check whether the problem your product solves is actually being searched for, and in what words your buyers use — not the words your team uses internally.

    • Search demand sizing for your category
    • Buyer vs. builder vocabulary mapping
    • Go / no-go on SEO as a channel

    SEO-ready technical foundation

    Weeks 2–4

    Most startup sites are single-page apps that render nothing for crawlers. Fixing that early is far cheaper than retrofitting it after a funding round.

    • Server rendering and indexability review
    • URL, sitemap, and canonical structure
    • Core Web Vitals baseline

    The first ten pages that matter

    Month 2

    A short, deliberate set of pages: your use cases, your integrations, your comparison pages, and the two or three problem-level articles your buyers search before they know you exist.

    • Page-by-page brief with target queries
    • Comparison and alternatives pages
    • Internal linking plan from day one

    AI search from the start

    Ongoing

    Early-stage companies get cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity more easily than they rank on Google. Structuring for extraction is the fastest visibility a young domain can buy.

    • Entity and answer-block structuring
    • llms.txt and AI crawler access
    • Citation tracking across AI engines

    Measurement that a board understands

    Ongoing

    Sessions are not a metric. We track qualified signups and pipeline from organic, so SEO survives the next budget conversation.

    • Search Console and analytics setup
    • Organic-to-signup attribution
    • Monthly reporting your investors can read

    Enablement for a small team

    Optional

    If you have a founder or marketer who will own SEO after me, I train them rather than making you dependent on a retainer forever.

    • Working session on briefs and publishing
    • Reusable templates and checklists
    • Quarterly review instead of retainer
