Good afternoon Mr. Hermanns. Thank you for coming and, of course, for your time. Would you like to introduce yourself to those who don’t know you yet?
“You’re welcome: Jürgen Hermanns appraisal office. I am an expert for the valuation of real estate. That means land, single and multi-family homes, residential and commercial properties and also commercial real estate.”
Then our next question, to get straight to the point, is how you actually became aware of us and what prompted you to do so.
“So to the first part of the question: I came to SEO Marketing Cologne on a recommendation and the reason was that my website was in need of improvement because I was still dissatisfied in many places.”
Did you have fundamental problems with your website and felt you needed a complete overhaul – be it the design, important functions – or did you generally wish for more customers?
“Both as well as. First and foremost, a complete overhaul and, of course, a significantly stronger presence on Google. Because when you compare yourself with the competition, you inevitably ask yourself why the competition is doing better and what your own website is lacking.”
We are very happy to offer our customers a free initial consultation, what was it like for you? Have you made use of them?
“Yes, I was entrusted to Mr. Zimpel during the initial consultation.”
And how did you feel during the initial consultation, i.e. did you feel well advised?
Mr. Hermanns very quickly and firmly: “Yes, absolutely. Comprehensive and, above all, with perspective. Statements were backed up with figures, data and facts. I liked that very much and it gave me the feeling that I wasn’t dealing with a bunch of smooth talkers.”
Great, of course we’re pleased to hear that. Then I want to continue directly at this point and pick up where I left off: search engine optimization is ultimately a very long process, with many tasks and coordination situations. Did you feel that you were in good hands during this time?
“Yes, I felt that I was in good hands and the process went just as smoothly. In the first contact, for example, we drew up a specification with clear objectives. The objectives were worked through superbly and also checked regularly. You could say that nothing was left to chance. I was naturally very pleased about that.”
Oh, wonderful! But what ultimately matters is the end result. Your search engine optimization is now a few months old – after all, the first results can be seen from around 4 months – so the question is: Are you satisfied with the results?
“Yes, I am still satisfied and we are continuing to work on the website. All innovations that are technically available and accessible on the market are being developed by SEO Marketing Köln so that we can continue to be at the forefront of Google in all the relevant places in the future.”
That is our goal. I would therefore like to know directly afterwards whether we will continue to be your agency of choice in the future when it comes to search engine optimization of your website?
“Yes, without question! I’m really very happy with you.”
That’s definitely an answer we’re pleased with! With this in mind, another question for you, on behalf of those who have no experience in this area: Would you say that SEO is a profitable measure?
“Definitely, yes. That has also paid off for me in euros. But in addition to the turnover, it’s just as nice to see how high the number of customers is as a result. You’ve also invested in something in the long term. The measures that have been taken on my website have of course not disappeared as easily as an advertisement that I no longer place. That has to be made clear.”
So a clear “yes” for SEO. Now the question arises when deciding on SEO, how to find the right agency. In other words, apart from the recommendation, what convinced you about us and what would you give others to follow?
“A very positive criterion was the quick and uncomplicated accessibility. I didn’t have to wait long and was looked after straight away. Including the really short-term implementation. I was able to arrange an initial consultation quickly and once the goals were set, they were implemented just as quickly and at short notice; I received great ideas – without any lack of quality. Then there is the continuous control, which gives you a feeling of security. In other words, they pay attention to what is being done and my site is literally looked after. The first conversation quickly showed that SEO Marketing Köln is customer-oriented and that the service continued with the same quality right up to the final result.
That’s why I would advise others to take advantage of an initial consultation, as it quickly becomes clear whether you will be taken seriously as a customer and receive realistic advice.”
Great, you’ve really answered a lot of questions and given us a lot to take with us.
“I’d love to!”
Then thank you for your time and for the interview, and of course I hope that others were also able to take a lot from the interview.
“Yes, as I said: with pleasure and all the best for you!”
Thank you Mr. Hermanns, thank you too!
