§ II · What we do — in plain language

Five jobs, one goal: Google and AI.

01

A fast, modern website

We rebuild your site on Astro and Vercel — under a second on mobile. Google now weights speed as a primary ranking signal, not a tiebreaker.

02

Brand and SEO for every city

One master brand system, one template per location, kept in sync automatically. You serve 50 cities — you have 50 ranking pages, all on-brand, all maintained from one source.

03

Visible in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews

Buyers now ask AI before they Google. We structure your site so ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite you — and we track monthly whether they do.

04

Blog and social posts that fit

Powered by Spindle — our cutting-edge algorithmic AI engine that blogs and posts while staying on top of the latest trends in real time. You get both volume and fit: every post tuned to exactly what's needed — keyword research, tone of voice and dozens of other signals — then scoped against your authority map, shaped for its platform, and signed off by a senior editor before it ships.

05

A live dashboard, not a monthly PDF

Direct access to Search Console, crawler data, AI citations and conversions — 24/7, the same view we use. The written monthly recommendation sits next to the data, not in your inbox two weeks late.

§ III · Side by side — factual, no trash talk

Comparing SEO partners? Here's the honest version.

The traditional agency model
SEO216
Technical foundation
Optimised after the build
Built for search from day one
Mobile load (LCP)
3–4 seconds
Under 1 second
Locations
One city per retainer
Every city, programmatic
Content output
~6 / month, by hand
4–30+ / month, AI + editor
AI-answer visibility
Rarely addressed
Built in, and tracked
Reporting
Monthly PDF
Live dashboard, 24/7

When the traditional model is the right choice.

If you serve a single location, publish rarely, and your current site already loads fast, a traditional retainer may be all you need — and likely cheaper than rebuilding. The engineering-led model earns its keep when you serve many places, need real content velocity, or want to be visible in AI answers. If a Sprint shows you do not need us, we will say so.

§ IV · How we work

Four steps, no mystery.

01

Free Performance-Audit

Send us your URL. Within 24 hours you receive a report covering your current Core Web Vitals, your competitor's scores for the same keywords, and a projection of what those numbers could look like on a modern stack.

02

Strategy call

30 minutes. We map your top cities, top 50 keywords, and what Spindle would publish in the first quarter. You leave the call with a written scope.

03

Build and launch

4–8 weeks for new sites. We build on Astro and Vercel against a fixed milestone plan. You review and approve at each milestone. The site goes live with sub-second load times.

04

Operate and grow

Spindle starts publishing. You watch progress on a private live dashboard — direct Search Console data, 24/7, not a monthly PDF. We monitor rankings, refine content and links, and meet monthly to decide what is next.

„Eighteen months with our old agency optimising one city. Three months with SEO216 and we rank in towns we were never even visible in. Same budget, different model."

„The old agency sent a PDF on the third of every month. Now I open a live dashboard whenever I want and see exactly what is happening. I did not realise how much the monthly report was hiding."

§ Frequently asked

Before you ask.

What is the difference between SEO and GEO?
SEO gets you into the classic Google results. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) gets you into the answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Google AI Overviews — where a growing share of searches now end without anyone clicking a result. We engineer both into the same page instead of selling them as two separate projects.
How fast will I see results?
You get the free performance audit within 24 hours. Technical wins (Core Web Vitals, load time) land at launch in 4 — 8 weeks. Ranking and AI visibility follow the content — you typically see the first movement after 8 — 12 weeks, all live in your dashboard.
Do I have to rebuild my website?
Not necessarily. The audit shows whether a rebuild on a modern stack (Astro, Vercel) pays off or whether targeted fixes are enough. When we do migrate, we preserve every URL and lay down a full redirect plan — your existing rankings move with you.
How long does a contract lock me in?
After the first 90 days every retainer runs month to month, cancellable monthly. No 12- or 24-month contracts.
Who does SEO216 work with?
DACH SMBs and mid-market companies with a concrete organic growth goal — dentists and clinics, lawyers and firms, trades and construction, hospitality, e-commerce and B2B. We work in German and English, with a senior point of contact on every account.
§ VII · In closing

The audit shows the gap. The call shows the path.

The audit measures how visible you are in Google and the AI answers. Both are free, neither commits you to anything.
