Frequently asked questions, clear answers
What does it cost, how does it work and what will it deliver? Here is what clients ask us most often.
Costs and quotes
What does a website cost?
There is no fixed price, because scope, features, copy and support determine the price. Projects start from €2,500, typically €5,000 and more. You receive a written quote upfront. The price factors at a glance.
Why are there no flat-rate prices?
Every company has different goals, content and prerequisites. A flat rate would have to include either too much or too little. That is why we calculate per project and state the services and the price beforehand. How we calculate.
Are there hidden costs?
No. The quote describes what is included and what is not, such as copy, photos, licences or printing costs. If something additional becomes necessary later, we discuss it before any costs arise.

SEO and AI visibility

Do you guarantee the number 1 spot on Google?
No, and no reputable agency does. Nobody but Google decides on rankings. We name measures, timeframes and measurable interim goals. Why number 1 guarantees are not credible.
How long does it take for SEO to work?
That depends on competition, starting position and effort. It usually takes several weeks to months before changes become visible. We measure progress in Google Search Console and tell you openly what we see.
