Summary

I develop sustainable SEO strategies and concepts for optimal reach and visibility of content. An important basis for my work is the understanding that Google doesn't want to rank the best-optimized page in first place, but the most useful page for the searcher. This goal of Google hasn't changed in the last 15 years - only the signals used to measure usefulness.

I've already advised clients like Holtzbrinck eLab, Condé Nast, rtv media group, Sport1 GmbH, MairDumont, and Funke Mediengruppe, and I look forward to your contact request.
