On-page SEO

On-page optimization: The basis for top rankings

On-page optimization forms the foundation of every successful SEO strategy. Our comprehensive keyword research ensures that your website is optimized for precisely the search terms your target audience uses on Google and other search engines. We analyze not only search volume but also search intent – the reasoning behind each search query.

Specific measures for on-page optimization:

Keyword mapping

Each URL receives relevant primary and secondary keywords based on search intent (informational, transactional, local)

Content strategy

Creation of high-quality, user-oriented content with clear added value for your target group

Snippet optimization

Revising title tags and meta descriptions for higher click-through rates in search results

Structured data

Implementation of schema markup for rich snippets (FAQ, reviews, local business)

Internal linking

Strategic development of thematic clusters and improvement of the site architecture

Content upgrades

Integration of FAQ sections, how-to sections and expert knowledge

In addition, we optimize the entire structure of your website to improve user-friendliness and ensure maximum visibility in search engines. The result: better rankings, more qualified visitors, and a higher conversion rate.

"Through strategic keyword optimization and structured content creation, we were able to generate an average of 34% more qualified inquiries for our clients." – Florian Schär, Managing Director, Masterhomepage

Strategic link building: Placement in high-quality Swiss industry directories and topic-relevant portals
Digital PR: Development of linkable assets such as studies, guides, or infographics that generate natural backlinks.
Guest contributions: Publication of specialist articles on relevant blogs and specialist portals.
Local Citations: Consistent NAP data (name, address, telephone) in local directories for Basel and the region
Broken Link Building: Identifying and replacing broken links with relevant content
Cooperations: Building partnerships with companies and organizations in Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft

All measures are carried out with complete transparency and in close consultation with you. We place great emphasis on sustainable, risk-free methodsthat strengthen your authority on Google in the long term and continuously improve your visibility in organic search results.

As a complementary service, we also offer search engine advertising to holistically optimize your online marketing strategy.

Technical SEO

Technical SEO: The invisible foundation for success

Technical SEO is the backbone of every high-performing website. Even the best content is of little use if Google can't efficiently crawl, index, and evaluate your pages. Our technical optimization ensures that your website has the best possible foundation for top rankings.

SEO process

The path to top rankings: Our proven SEO strategy

Our successful search engine optimization follows a structured, proven process. This approach has been established in over 500 projects in Basel and throughout Switzerland, delivering predictable, measurable results.

Phase 1

Analysis and audit (weeks 1–2)

The first step is always a thorough analysis of your current situation. We conduct a comprehensive technical audit of your website, analyze your current rankings, and identify quick wins that deliver rapid initial success. At the same time, we examine your main competitors in the search results and determine their strengths and weaknesses. This competitive analysis reveals which strategies work in your industry and where your opportunities lie.

Phase 2

Strategy and Roadmap (Week 3)

Based on the analysis results, we develop a customized SEO strategy. Keyword research forms the foundation – we identify precisely the search terms your target audience uses to search for your products or services. We differentiate between various search intents: informational keywords for how-to content, transactional keywords for sales pages, and local keywords for regional optimization.

Based on all the findings, we create a prioritized roadmap with concrete measures, a timeline, and expected results. You will know from the outset which steps we will implement, in what order, and why.

Phase 3

Implementation (Months 1-3)

The actual optimization work begins with the technical foundations: improving loading times, fixing crawling problems, and optimizing mobile display. In parallel, we revise existing content and create new, high-quality texts that are optimized for both users and search engines.

Depending on the system, we work with different platforms for implementation. For WordPress projects, we leverage our expertise as WordPress web designers and offer corresponding maintenance services. For Joomla websites, our Joomla team and services such as updates and ongoing maintenance available.

At the same time, we'll begin link building and local optimization. All these measures are interconnected and mutually reinforcing.

Phase 4

Monitoring and scaling (ongoing)

SEO is not a one-off project, but an ongoing process. We continuously monitor performance, test new approaches, and scale successful strategies. Every month, you receive a detailed report with the most important KPIs, an evaluation of our measures, and new opportunities for further improvements.

Typical milestones of our collaboration:

Month 1: Technical optimizations completed, first ranking improvements visible
Month 3: +15–25% more organic traffic, multiple keywords in the top 10
Month 6: +30–50% more organic traffic, top 3 rankings for main keywords
Month 12: Established authority in your niche, continuous organic growth

For a holistic digital presence, we like to combine SEO with other services such as digital marketing, professional web design from Basel , or, for online shops, the option of having an individual webshop developed.

We can implement technical SEO requirements ourselves, instead of relying on external service providers.
Long-term partnerships instead of short-term campaigns: We've been working with most of our clients for many years.

Our goal is to build a lasting partnership that benefits both sides.

We are familiar with various CMS platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, PrestaShop, and Shopify. And we understand both B2C and B2B marketing in Switzerland.
Practice instead of theory: We're not just consultants who write concepts – we implement them. Our SEO experts develop websites, program solutions, and optimize real projects daily. This practical know-how makes the difference between academic knowledge and effective strategies.

Whether you WordPress hosting, Joomla hosting , or PrestaShop hosting – we offer the right web hosting package, including professional email hosting . If required, we can also support you with Shopify maintenance or PrestaShop updates. For special requirements, we also offer custom-built web applications or comprehensive technical support for your existing systems.
