This meant: Potential clients actively searching for personal training in Dresden found the competition first.
The Challenge
- Weak rankings at position 12-14 for all relevant keywords
- Outdated website without clear structure and conversion focus

What You Should Consider If You’re a Local Service Provider
- Local SEO combined with clean UX is a strong lever. It’s not enough to just generate traffic. The website must also be built so that visitors become clients.
- Focus on few but important keywords. Instead of optimizing everything at once, we concentrated on the terms that bring real clients.
- Don’t forget Google Business. An optimized profile is mandatory for local service providers.
