As an SEO services agency, we know that today it's about more than just ranking #1 on Google. Your customers search for products and answers in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and other tools too. The battle for visibility is really about attention, reach and how to leverage both. That's the only way sustainable SEO delivers real visibility and revenue.
AI systems are transforming the SEO industry. But one thing hasn't changed: when a potential customer searches for your product, you need to show up first. Regardless of the search engine or AI system, the visibility of your services is the measure of your online success. This holds true for B2B companies, SaaS products and small business owners alike.
Over the past 10 years, Backlinked has evolved into an SEO services agency that combines first-class expertise in traditional search engine optimization with the latest insights in Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
Our original focus on off-page optimization is a genuine competitive advantage over other SEO agencies – because AI visibility doesn't come from a clean website alone. Modern SEO and GEO creates a perfect, performance-oriented foundation and positions your product or service through brand mentions and link building exactly where Google and AI systems can find it. This demonstrably and directly boosts your visibility.
Everyone in the industry has heard it: "SEO is a marathon, not a sprint." We go further and say: GEO is a decathlon. Today, the right interplay of optimization measures matters more than ever. It starts with the technical foundation of your site and ends with your company's reputation. Every aspect of your online presence can be evaluated by Google and AI systems and feeds into the calculation of your visibility.
As in the decathlon, it's not about setting a world record in any single discipline. You need to outperform your competitors in the disciplines most relevant to your industry and target audience. It's also critical to align the various areas of optimization with each other, as they influence one another. The strategy must be developed as an integrated concept so that both users and search engines can follow a clear thread.
The backbone of our organizational collaboration is our proprietary SEO marketplace. Originally designed as a self-service tool, Backlinked has evolved into a SaaS application that gives you full visibility into your SEO at all times – whether you're a small business owner, a B2B marketing team or managing multiple client sites as a marketing SEO agency.

An SEO agency improves the visibility of a website in search engines like Google and AI search systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. The scope of services is broad and closely intertwined with brand positioning and other marketing activities. Today, the work of a professional SEO services agency amounts to digital business positioning. The typical areas of work are:
1. Analysis and Strategy: site, competitor and industry analysis as the foundation for everything that follows.
2. On-Page Optimization: all measures implemented on the website itself – performance, structure, content and conversion funnels.
3. Off-Page Optimization: building a strong brand presence beyond the website through link building, brand mentions and PR.
4. Monitoring and Repeat: continuous measurement so that measures can be adapted based on performance, leading to more organic traffic and clients.
For ongoing management, monthly budgets of around 1,500 to 5,000 EUR are typical. Backlinked hourly rates range from 90 to 120 EUR per hour depending on the service. Content and basic on-page work sits at 90-100 EUR; consulting and analysis at 120 EUR.
The exact investment depends on your goals, the intended timeline and the current state of your website.
Our typical pricing models:
1. Monthly retainer: Long-term collaboration on a monthly basis. Costs start from around 1,500 EUR and are open-ended depending on industry and scope.
2. Project-based: We agree on a goal and create a quote for it. This can include SEO audits, workshops or full site relaunches.
When evaluating an SEO services agency, look for: transparent methods with no black-hat tactics; verifiable case studies with real results; a strategy-first approach (they analyze before recommending); clear pricing with no hidden fees; flexibility without long-term contracts; and expertise covering both on-page and off-page SEO as well as modern GEO for AI visibility. A good marketing SEO agency will also integrate their work with your broader business goals – not just chase rankings in isolation. Ask whether they have specific experience as a B2B SEO agency, SaaS SEO agency or SEO agency for small business, depending on your sector.
To choose the right SEO agency for your business – whether you are a B2B company, a SaaS brand, a small business or running WordPress – ask these questions: Do they start with a thorough analysis before making recommendations? Do they have case studies from your industry or a comparable niche? Is pricing transparent and fair? Do they work without contracts? Do they cover both technical SEO and off-page authority building? The best SEO agency for small business and enterprise alike will be honest about timelines and never guarantee overnight results.

SEO typically takes between 3 and 6 months before first measurable results appear. After a further 6 to 12 months, you can expect meaningful growth in organic traffic and conversions.
The exact timeline depends on your goals, the competition in your industry and your monthly budget. The current optimization status of your site also matters: if we first need to build a solid technical foundation, it takes longer than if your site just needs the final polish.
A typical timeline:
– Months 1-2: Analysis, research and initial optimizations.
– Months 3-6: Further optimizations and first measurable results to refine the strategy.
– Months 6-12: Growth in quality organic traffic and, where relevant, conversion optimization.
A precise plan must always be developed specifically for your project based on proper analysis. Book a free initial consultation for a first assessment.
Yes. Every business that wants to succeed online long-term without relying on constant ad spend can benefit from SEO.
Search engine optimization is far from dead. It is a vast field covering countless optimization measures. Here is why:
1. User search behavior is evolving, and so are the channels where businesses need to be visible: from Google’s top 10 and Google Maps to AI systems like ChatGPT or Gemini, YouTube rankings and even marketplaces like Amazon.
2. Search engines respond to behavior and new technologies. Through regular Google Updates and algorithm changes, the requirements for optimization are constantly evolving. Good GEO, for example, only works on a solid SEO foundation.
Absolutely – we love working with other agencies. We offer attractive special rates as well as individual workflows.
Simply reach out and let us create synergies in a personal conversation!
Absolutely. But it is important to know what you are doing. Search engine optimization is more extensive and complex than many people realize.

We generally work completely without contracts, as we have found they often only serve to lock in revenue for agencies while encouraging complacency and weaker performance.
Instead, your SEO manager fills your budget each month with the most meaningful measures, which are only implemented after your approval. This forces us to convince you every month through results.
You have complete freedom. If you suddenly need your budget elsewhere, that is never a problem. We see SEO as one pillar of a functioning marketing strategy, and budget allocation should be flexible.
We retain our clients through strong results, not contractual commitments.
We are a certified Semrush Agency Partner, SISTRIX Partner Agency and an Ahrefs Featured SEO Agency. Our team continuously develops through industry events and training courses from leading providers, to ensure the sustainable SEO success of our clients in the fast-moving world of marketing. In addition to guest contributions in industry media such as the AFS Academy and OMR, we are regularly represented at major trade fairs.
