What does professional SEO actually achieve?

SEO is a strategic process for building relevant traffic, reducing reliance on paid advertising and achieving lasting visibility for relevant searches.

Professional SEO creates the technical foundations, structures content purposefully and builds visibility where it matters: with the right audiences, at the right time.

SEO and paid search compared
CriterionSEO (organic)Paid search (e.g. Google Ads)
Cost modelOngoing work, independent of individual clicksClick-based charges for each visit
Long-term effectVisibility builds over timeVisibility ends when the budget stops
User trustHigher trust through editorial contextLabelled as advertising
Rising click pricesIndependent of ad auctionsVaries with competition
Quality of resultsGreater relevance through useful contentOften transaction-focused, with less context
Relevant search queriesOrganic visibility during early research and comparison tooOften focused on transactional terms
Visibility beyond the advertising budgetRemains through category, guide and product pagesDisappears as soon as the budget is exhausted

SEO is not free, but consistent implementation can make it cost-effective.

Businesses with a strategic approach to SEO:

  • measurably reduce costs per lead or sale,
  • build trust through editorial visibility,
  • and reduce dependence on ads over time.

SEO is an established part of successful marketing across industries.

Evidence

SEO results can be measured.

Analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Matomo help express SEO performance in figures and financial terms. A practical example from one of our client projects illustrates its business value.

  1. 01

    Starting point

    35,000 visitors from organic search per month
    2.75% conversion rate
    €90 average order value
    45% gross margin per order
    €0.65 comparison CPC in Google Ads
    €2,000 monthly SEO costs

  2. 02

    Revenue and gross margin from SEO

    35,000 × 2.75% = 962.5 orders
    962.5 × €90 = €86,625 revenue per month
    Gross margin: €86,625 × 0.45 = €38,981.25 per month

  3. 03

    What would this traffic cost through Google Ads?

    35,000 × €0.65 CPC = €22,750 advertising budget. Buying the same volume of traffic through paid Google Ads would therefore cost €22,750 per month in this comparison.

  4. 04

    SEO ROI

    Investment: €2,000 per month
    Gross margin attributed to SEO: €38,981.25
    After SEO costs: €36,981.25
    Return on investment: 1,849.06%

Stronger together

SEO builds over time. Paid search works immediately. Together, they are stronger.

SEO is a process that develops step by step. Paid search brings immediate reach, but only while budget is available. Using both combines short-term impact with long-term results. With conversion optimisation, targeted paid search management and technical expertise in PrestaShop, Shopware and Shopify, we focus on results as well as visitors.

Who benefits from our SEO support?

Search engine optimisation is a strategic process that must fit your company’s structure, audience and goals. Our support is for businesses that see SEO as an investment in planned growth, rather than a short-term activity.

How can we
support your SEO?

SEO brings together technical foundations, structured content, strategic direction and ongoing support. Our services cover these areas individually, while always considering how they work together.

We assess structural, technical and content weaknesses and provide clear recommendations. We focus on indexing, loading times, structure, redirects, canonical URLs, duplicate content and other SEO factors. The foundation for further work.

Technical SEO

We create the conditions for search engines to understand and assess your website: clear architecture, loading speed and Core Web Vitals, crawl and indexing controls, structured data (Schema.org), hreflang and multilingual setup.

We improve structure, internal links, URLs, metadata and semantic organisation to increase relevance and readability for people and search engines.

Keyword strategy and positioning

We develop a keyword strategy suited to your business model, considering both transactional and informational searches throughout the customer journey. A basis for structured content planning.

Local SEO, where relevant

For location-based businesses, we optimise listings, local search visibility, Google Business Profile and the website’s location structure, including local keywords and reviews.

SEO for Shopware, PrestaShop and Shopify

We understand the technical characteristics of established ecommerce platforms and implement suitable, lasting improvements, including SEO structure, filters, product feeds and CMS content.

Monitoring and reporting

We continuously monitor activities, measure progress, prioritise next steps and document results clearly, with substance rather than jargon.

Visibility development for bleher GmbH after a website relaunch
SEO for a B2B service provider

bleher GmbH

After a poorly executed website relaunch caused an almost complete loss of visibility, we took over SEO for bleher GmbH near Stuttgart in August 2021. The company supplies specialist technical films, from highly heat-resistant materials to biodegradable films. Starting with a Visibility Index of 0.0002, we focused on relevant content, structured internal links, accurate metadata and quality links from industry-related websites. By March 2025, the index had reached 0.594, exceeding its level before the relaunch. During this period, bleher GmbH also recorded the best financial year in its history. The project demonstrates the potential of focused B2B SEO in specialist markets.

Questions about SEO? We have answers.

How long does SEO take to show results?

Initial technical effects are often measurable within a few weeks. Visible organic ranking changes usually take three to six months, depending on competition, the starting point and implementation scope. SEO is a medium-term process.

How much does your SEO support cost?

Costs depend on scope and goals. Our online store SEO projects generally start from €900 per month. One-off audits and technical analyses are also available. Regional SEO projects can start from €250 per month. You receive a transparent calculation tailored to your project before we start.

Is there a minimum contract term?

Yes, at least six months, because some work is carried out in advance. We work on mutual trust, with a one-month notice period. In our experience, clients stay because the collaboration works, not because they have to.

How does a project with sjmedia work?

In three steps: analysis and advice; implementation with regular, agile coordination; then launch and ongoing support. You always have a named contact.

How do we communicate?

You have a dedicated contact and can communicate by email, phone or video call. You also receive monthly reports with specific actions and results.

Is SEO worthwhile in our industry?

In most cases, yes. Visibility can be built around information, solutions and services as well as products. We can assess without obligation whether an SEO strategy makes sense for you.
