The Farbentour team
01

Kickoff meeting

At the start of every optimization, a solid foundation should be created. To do so, the following questions, among others, should be answered:

What goal would you like to achieve with your online shop?
Which search terms are relevant for your products and services?
Who is your target audience and what characteristics does it have?
Have there already been any search engine optimization measures for your shop?
02

Keyword research

For which search terms should your shop be found? In close collaboration with you, we research all relevant terms. Competitor analysis, buyer persona and more help identify the best keywords for your shop.

03

SEO audit & strategy

We examine in detail which relevant search terms are already covered by appropriate content and where there is still room for improvement. Based on the identified optimization potential and a detailed competitive analysis, we develop the optimal SEO strategy for your shop.

On-page & off-page SEO

We eliminate all technical and content-related sources of error and optimize your website for the best possible ranking results. We also review all existing backlinks and, as part of link building, analyze new, relevant topic areas for further link acquisition.

What matters

6 big mistakes in e-commerce SEO – and how to avoid them

E-commerce SEO is crucial for increasing visibility and revenue in online retail. Yet many shops lose valuable potential through avoidable mistakes. The six most common mistakes:

1

No SEO know-how in place

Run-of-the-mill full-service agencies quickly reach their limits. An experienced SEO agency knows the levers and knows how to move shops forward even in highly competitive markets.

2

Time & budget are too tight

Time and money are valuable – but both are exactly what SEO for online shops requires. It can take a while before measures take effect. Anyone who does not work continuously will not see any SEO success.

3

No SEO strategy

Without a master plan, SEO cannot be successful. Before optimization, there must always be keyword research, an SEO audit and a strategy – today also with an eye on AI searches like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. Otherwise optimizations come to nothing.

4

No success monitoring

Effective monitoring, e.g. via Google Looker Studio, is essential to keep an eye on successes and failures and to adjust the SEO strategy in a targeted way when needed.

5

Only selling instead of informing

Google places great value on topical authority. A shop that, beyond selling products, also provides valuable information is rewarded.

6

Imbalance in link building

Neither missing nor excessive link building is ideal. A natural, balanced link-building strategy is crucial for sustainable rankings.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ on the SEO agency for online shops

The costs for qualified search engine optimization by an SEO agency for online shops depend on various variables. The larger an e-commerce retailer and the more complex the current situation, the higher the resulting costs.

The various tasks can be divided into one-time and monthly expenses. One-time items include the SEO audit, keyword research and analysis, the development of the SEO strategy and the definition of the success goals. The operational implementation as well as the evaluation of success and monitoring are continuous, monthly items.

SEO is not a sprint, it is a marathon. The measures must be carried out continuously, because there are always changes in Google search due to Google updates, competitors, etc.

It is therefore very difficult to estimate when the first results will become visible, since every website struggles with different challenges. In our experience, the first results appear after approximately 6–12 months.

Of course, you can only really assess an agency’s way of working once a collaboration is under way. However, there are a few criteria that help you make a good choice in advance.

Unrealistic promises, a lack of genuine references, superficial certificates, aggressive cold acquisition and a lack of transparency in the initial meeting are warning signs – whereas meaningful case studies and well-founded content speak for a reputable agency.

No one can guarantee rankings: The success of SEO measures depends – besides the factors of your own website – also on the direct competition and mainly on Google. False or exaggerated promises are a clear indicator of a dubious approach.

References: Agencies often advertise with references from well-known companies. Here it is worth asking in detail in what capacity the agency was involved.

Case studies: Current case studies provide insight into the work. Pay attention to relevant metrics: were visitor and customer numbers increased? Were good rankings achieved?

Certificates: “Quality certificates” alone say little. Value-adding content such as blog articles, publications and podcasts underline the expertise much more clearly.

Free initial consultation: An online meeting and a short initial analysis help to assess the agency’s way of working and expertise.
