Senior team based in Wrocław, three hours from Berlin, EU rates, free audit and a 90-day plan to start.
google.de · steuerberater berlin prenzlauer bergWhy Berlin companies choose our SEO agency
Berlin is Germany’s startup capital and its largest city: Zalando, N26, Delivery Hero and thousands of smaller tech companies in Mitte and Kreuzberg, Charité and a dense healthcare sector, a huge creative and hospitality economy, and a market where German-language quality and trust signals decide who ranks.
German customers, not vanity rankings
Keywords chosen by purchase intent: “Steuerberater Berlin Mitte”, “Zahnarzt Charlottenburg”, “Anwalt Arbeitsrecht Berlin”. We report calls, forms, demo requests and revenue, because that is what your business runs on.
Native German content for Germany
Written by native German copywriters, not translated from English. Correct compound nouns, the Sie register where your industry expects it, German number formats and the depth German readers demand. Google.de rewards thorough, precise German, and penalises thin translated pages.
A senior strategist, three hours away
You work with Adrian Dąbrowiecki and a small senior team, not an account manager relaying briefs to juniors. Online by default, in Berlin for workshops when it helps: Wrocław to Berlin Hauptbahnhof is a direct train.
EU rates, senior output
Based in Poland, we deliver senior SEO at rates well below Berlin agencies in Mitte or Prenzlauer Berg. Same EU contracts, GDPR and invoicing, lower cost per lead.
Visible in ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews
Berliners increasingly ask AI assistants “welche Agentur / Praxis / Kanzlei in Berlin empfiehlst du”. We structure content, entities and schema so your brand is cited in those answers, not only in the blue links.
No 12-month lock-in
Monthly agreements, no exit penalties. Quotes depend on competition in your industry and the number of Berlin districts or German regions you want to cover.
SEO services for businesses in Berlin
A tax advisor in Prenzlauer Berg, a SaaS in Kreuzberg and an online shop shipping across Germany need different campaigns. We match the model to how your customers search.
Local SEO Berlin
For practices, law and tax firms, agencies, restaurants, craftsmen and service businesses serving Berlin. “Service + Berlin” and “service + Kiez” keywords, Google Business Profile, reviews and consistent listings on Gelbe Seiten, Das Örtliche, 11880, Jameda and ProvenExpert.
Google Maps and Business Profile
Categories, service area, photos, posts, Q&A and a German-language review process. For most service queries in Berlin the map pack sits above the organic results and takes the calls; we get you into it and keep you there.
Market entry SEO for international brands
For UK, US and EU companies entering Germany via Berlin: German keyword research, a localised de-DE site structure, hreflang against de-AT and de-CH, Impressum and trust signals German users expect, a German link profile and PR. See our international SEO services.

SaaS and B2B SEO
For Berlin startups and software companies: comparison, alternative and integration pages in German and English that bring demos and sign-ups across the DACH region. See SaaS SEO services.
SEO + Google Ads
When you need leads from week one: Google Ads on the German keywords SEO is still earning, then budget shifted to organic as rankings arrive.
How we run SEO for Berlin
Six stages we repeat in every German campaign. You start with the audit and plan, free of charge, whatever you decide afterwards.
SEO and Business Profile audit
Indexing, mobile speed, site structure, German content quality, link profile and Google Business Profile. Output: a list of blockers and the three biggest opportunities on Google.de.
German keyword strategy
A keyword map for Berlin and the districts your customers come from: Mitte, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Prenzlauer Berg, Schöneberg, Neukölln, Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Spandau, plus Adlershof and Potsdam for tech and B2B. A 90-day action plan.
Technical SEO
Core Web Vitals, indexing, redirects, duplicates, hreflang for de-DE vs de-AT/de-CH, LocalBusiness and FAQ schema, cookie consent that does not block crawling. One-off fixes that unlock growth.
Content and local pages
Service and district pages, FAQs and in-depth guides written in German for the questions Berlin customers actually ask, each with a clear call to contact you.
German links and citations
Consistent business data across German directories, links from Berlin and national media (Tagesspiegel, Berliner Zeitung, rbb24, Gründerszene, t3n, Handelsblatt), chambers and associations (IHK Berlin, Handwerkskammer) and digital PR in German. A natural profile, no link schemes.
Analytics and optimisation
Monthly review of which keywords produce enquiries and which only produce traffic, then effort moved to where the leads are. Tools: Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs, Sistrix, Looker Studio.
What makes SEO in Berlin different
The details that separate a campaign that converts in the German capital from one that only ranks.
Google dominates, Bing matters more than elsewhere
Google holds around 90% of the German search market according to StatCounter, with Bing close to 6%, one of its stronger European shares thanks to corporate Windows desktops. The core work goes into Google.de, Google Maps and the AI answers built on them, but for B2B clients in Berlin we also keep Bing Webmaster Tools and IndexNow in the loop, because the decision-maker searching from an office PC may well be on Bing.
German written for Germany
Germany has 84 million residents (Destatis) and German readers expect depth: longer pages, precise terminology, sources, an Impressum, a Datenschutzerklärung and visible trust signals such as Trusted Shops or ProvenExpert ratings. Content translated from English, or written in Austrian or Swiss German, reads foreign on Google.de. We produce content in German for Germany and keep it separate from any de-AT or de-CH version with hreflang, so the right page ranks in the right country.
Kieze and districts, not one city keyword
“Zahnarzt Berlin” is broad and expensive. “Zahnarzt Prenzlauer Berg” or “Zahnarzt Schöneberg” has less competition and converts better because the searcher already knows they can get there. Berliners identify strongly with their Kiez, so for practices and professional services we build one main service page plus pages for the districts you actually serve. For B2B and startups we cover Mitte and Kreuzberg, the Ku’damm and City West for established firms, Adlershof for science and tech, and the growing Siemensstadt and Potsdam clusters. No duplicated pages with a swapped district name, which Google detects and ignores.
Industries where Berlin SEO pays back fastest
We see the quickest return in tax and legal services (Steuerberater and Rechtsanwälte are among the most expensive clicks in Germany), private healthcare and dentistry, real estate and property management (ImmoScout24 and Immowelt own the listings, so your site must win on advice and local expertise), SaaS and B2B tech, hospitality and tourism, and e-commerce shipping nationwide. They share a high customer value and expensive Google Ads clicks: every organic lead is a measurable saving.
Links that Google.de trusts
A German link profile is built from German sources: national business and tech press, Berlin local media, IHK and professional chambers, universities (TU, HU, FU Berlin), event and startup ecosystem sites, and the directories relevant to your sector. We run outreach and digital PR in German, with angles German journalists want to cover, instead of buying placements on generic guest-post farms.

SEO agency Berlin: frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we hear most from companies in Berlin and brands entering Germany. More about our approach on the SEO Germany page.
How much does SEO cost in Berlin?
We do not publish a price list because cost depends on your industry, the competition and the number of districts or regions. After the free audit you receive a quote with the exact scope. As a Poland-based agency we are usually 30–50% cheaper than Berlin agencies for the same senior level of work.
How long does SEO take in Berlin?
First results in Google Maps and on district keywords usually appear within 2–4 months. Broad “service + Berlin” keywords in competitive sectors such as tax, legal, dental or real estate need 6–12 months of consistent work.
Do you need an office in Berlin to rank my business?
No. We work remotely with clients in Germany, the UK, the US and across the EU; meetings are online and Berlin is a direct train ride from Wrocław for strategy workshops. The location of your agency does not affect your rankings; the quality of your German content and links does.
Who writes the German content?
Native German copywriters briefed by our SEO team. Every page is reviewed for terminology, register and local references before publication. We never publish machine translation.
Can you also cover Munich, Hamburg, Austria or Switzerland?
Yes. Many Berlin clients sell across Germany, so we build the German keyword strategy for the whole country and add regional pages where volume justifies it. For Austria and Switzerland we create separate de-AT and de-CH versions with hreflang rather than one generic German site.
Does SEO still matter with AI search?
More than ever: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews build their answers from pages that already rank and from well-structured entities. Our campaigns include AI visibility work so your brand is cited when someone in Berlin asks an assistant for a recommendation.
Ready to be found in Berlin?
Hundreds of thousands of companies in Berlin and Brandenburg compete for the same customers. A strategy built on districts, Google Maps, native German content and AI visibility gives you an advantage most of them do not have.
