FAQ
Frequently asked questions about SEO freelancers
Four honest answers.
How much does SEO cost when hiring a freelancer?
SEO starts at 864 euros per month for 8 hours. The initial consultation is free. Billing is based on 15-minute increments, with no hidden costs. The hourly rate of 108 euros is in line with the average for freelancers in Germany.
Do you work on-site in Weingarten?
The company is based in Baienfurt, just a few minutes from Weingarten and Ravensburg. On-site appointments are possible, but most of the work is done remotely. This applies to both local and out-of-region clients.
Freelancer or agency, which is right for me?
With a freelancer, you're working directly with one person instead of a whole chain of people. If you need more capacity, you'll need a larger team. During our initial consultation, I'll give you my honest opinion on what's best for your project.
Which systems do you manage?
TYPO3 versions 4 through 14, WordPress, and Neos. I also handle migrations between these systems. SEO issues are often technical in nature, so I cover both aspects.

Services
Services at a glance
Today, SEO is more than just a traditional Google search result. Since March 2025, AI summaries have appeared in about 20 percent of German searches, reducing the click-through rate for the number-one position from 27 to 11 percent (SISTRIX). I structure content so that it can also be cited in AI responses.
When it comes to CMS, choosing the right system is key. WordPress holds a solid 60 percent market share (W3Techs), while TYPO3 is firmly established among German small and medium-sized businesses. Questions? Go straight to the contact page.

Freelancer instead of an agency
What a freelancer changes for you
Freelancing isn't right for everyone. However, it is the better choice in certain situations. The average hourly rate for freelancers in Germany is 104 euros (Freelancer-Kompass 2025), while agency rates typically range from 150 to 300 euros.
Straight to the implementer
You'll be talking directly to the person doing the work. No account manager acting as a middleman. No briefing that gets watered down on its way to the person executing the project.
Backed by a GmbH structure
Similar to being a freelancer, but with the liability protection of a GmbH, business liability insurance, and a succession plan. No individual risk when it really counts.
CMS depth, not just SEO
TYPO3, WordPress, and Neos—all from a single source. SEO issues are often technical issues. I can handle both, rather than having to coordinate between different service providers.
