SEO consulting with Rheinwunder

What you get from our SEO consulting

In SEO consulting we work with your team, your agency or your developers. You carry out the work, we provide the basis: a review of your website, the order of the measures and a check on whether they are working. On this page you can read how we work together, what the consulting covers and when consulting alone is not enough. If you would like us to carry out the work as well, read on under SEO.

Calculated over three years

The effect of SEO usually only shows after months. When we calculate the profitability of an SEO project, we therefore always take three years as the basis.

New projects checked early

In ongoing consulting we see new pages and projects before they go live. We check them before launch so that they do not have to be adjusted afterwards.

Our own suggestions

We do not only review what you are planning. We contribute our own ideas for developing your website, with search considered from the start.

Who consulting is suitable for

When SEO consulting fits and when it does not

Consulting fits when someone on your side can carry out the work. Typical occasions:

You have your own marketing or editorial team. We work as a sounding board: we review plans and drafts and agree priorities with you. For a company with several specialist departments we held a workshop in January 2026 so that the client’s team can maintain content itself.
An agency or your IT department looks after the website. Then we write tasks with URL lists, sample code and an acceptance criterion, on request directly in your ticketing system. At ROMA, a digital agency looks after the website, and we manage SEO, content and tracking.
You are planning a relaunch or a change of system. Then it pays to involve us early. More under SEO relaunch support.
You would like a second opinion. With an SEO audit we check independently where your website stands and which measures are missing.

Consulting alone is not enough if nobody on your side has time for the implementation. A recommendation that is left undone changes nothing. In that case our developers and our content team carry out the work. If you need enquiries in the next few weeks, you will get there faster with paid search (SEA).

How SEO consulting works

This is what collaboration looks like

These are the steps we take with you in ongoing SEO consulting.

Kick-off workshop

One-off and ongoing consulting usually begin with a kick-off workshop. It can be combined with an SEO analysis, so that it is clear from the start where your project stands.

Goals and KPIs

Together we define the KPIs against which we measure our work. The strategy follows from the current state and the goal, for example technical improvements such as shorter loading times or expanding the content.

Analysis and action plan

We evaluate Search Console and web analytics, crawl the website and compare it with the competition. The result is an action plan with priorities.

Workload and team

From the short-term and long-term goals we calculate the monthly workload and put together the team. You have a dedicated contact for each discipline, for example SEO or SEA, and in addition one person with overall responsibility. Our teams talk to each other regularly. If someone is ill or on holiday, there is therefore someone available who knows your project.

Supporting implementation

Your team or your service provider carries out the work. We answer questions and support the implementation until the measures are live.

Regular meetings

In fixed meetings we discuss what has happened since the last meeting and whether the strategy needs adjusting. A status call every two weeks is usual; depending on the size of the project and the team it can also be monthly or weekly. In addition, once a year there is an annual review with a look back and a roadmap.

Monitoring

After implementation we check how the measures have affected visibility, clicks and enquiries.

Scope of the consulting

What SEO consulting covers

A woman presents at a flipchart while three people listen and take notes.

The consulting includes all areas of search engine optimisation. Together we decide which of them you need.

Web analytics and planning

Your data from Search Console and web analytics is the basis for planning.

Technical roadmap

Technical measures in an order that suits your infrastructure and your resources. If a recommendation cannot be implemented as intended, we look for an alternative together with your developers or with our own.

Editorial plan

Topics and pages for your content marketing, coordinated with our content team.

Monitoring and reporting

Regular checks of the website through our own crawls, based on the messages in Google Search Console and after Google updates. Dashboards and reports show where things stand.

Development and UX

We work with front-end development and UX so that changes to the website also improve the KPIs in marketing and search.

Training and workshops

We train your team so that it can take on tasks itself. More about SEO training and workshops.

Link building

Analysis of the link profile and recommendations for new links. We offer the link building itself as a separate service: link building and backlink management.

Results from client projects

What consulting and implementation have led to

Four examples from ongoing projects in which we advise and, depending on the project, also carry out the work ourselves. The figures come from SISTRIX for Germany, as of 28 September 2026. The SISTRIX Visibility Index expresses in a single figure how well a website is found on Google across a large number of search terms. The case studies are available in German only.

ROMA, manufacturer of roller shutters and sun protection: we have managed SEO and content since April 2025. In the twelve months to September 2026, the Visibility Index rose from 0.41 to 1.08. ROMA case study (in German)
Company with several specialist departments: the engagement in 2021 comprised an SEO audit, keyword analysis and content strategy. Since the relaunch of the website in December 2025, visibility has risen by 160 per cent. Case study (in German)
Regional service provider: kick-off in September 2021, followed by a crawl, a workshop and an SEO audit with an action list. Visibility increased by 119 per cent in the last twelve months. Case study (in German)
Nationwide organisation: started in August 2020 with an SEO audit, keyword analysis and content strategy, plus workshops and training for the client’s teams. 2.5 times as many keywords rank in the top 10 as at the start. Case study (in German)

Frequently asked questions about SEO consulting

FAQs on SEO consulting

Answers on scope, costs, timing and measurement.

What is the difference between SEO consulting and ongoing SEO support?

In consulting we provide analysis, strategy, priorities and guidance. Implementation lies with your team or your service provider. In ongoing SEO support we also carry out the work ourselves. The two can be combined.

How much does SEO consulting cost?

That depends on the scope: the size of the website, your goals and how much your team takes on itself. For ongoing consulting we calculate a monthly workload from the agreed goals. As a rough guide for SEO overall: for smaller businesses or local SEO, costs can start at a few hundred euros per month; for large online shops or highly competitive industries they can amount to several thousand euros per month. More in the FAQs on our SEO page.

How quickly do SEO measures show results?

Usually after months, not days. It depends on the starting point, the competition and the pace of implementation. At ROMA, the rise in top 10 rankings began around four months after the editorial plan started. For a regional service provider, the steep rise began in 2024, around two years after the editorial plan started. Technical corrections often work faster: if a page has been blocked for search engines by mistake, the correction takes effect as soon as Google has crawled the page again.

How is success measured?

Against the baseline we record before we start: visibility and rankings in SISTRIX, clicks and impressions in Google Search Console, enquiries or revenue in your web analytics. Together we decide at the outset which KPIs count.

Can we commission SEO consulting as a one-off?

Yes. One-off consulting can be a workshop, an SEO analysis or support for a relaunch, for example. Whether ongoing consulting makes sense afterwards is something you decide with the results in hand.

Do you only advise companies from Bonn and the region?

No. Rheinwunder is based in Bonn. Our clients include companies and organisations that operate across Germany and companies from the United Kingdom. For companies from the region there is a separate page: SEO agency Bonn.

Let us talk about your SEO strategy

Which SEO measures will move you forward fastest?

In an initial conversation we clarify where you stand today, which goals you are pursuing and how we can support you with our SEO consulting. No obligation and with an honest assessment.
