Good SEO strategies are based on data, not guesses. I regularly test different approaches – from title tag experiments and internal linking structures to content formats – and document the results here. This creates strategies that are not based on best practices from 2019, but on what actually works in the SERPs today.
Individual keywords are no longer enough. Google evaluates content in context: How well does a page cover a topic? Does the content match the search intent? Here I explain how semantic optimization works – from entity-based content strategies and topic clustering to the question of how to align user intent and thematic depth.
Core Updates, Spam Updates, Helpful Content Updates – Google changes its algorithms several times a year. I analyze the impact of current updates, contextualize ranking volatility, and show which patterns can be identified. Instead of panic after every rollout, you will find well-founded assessments and concrete recommendations for action for your website here.
The technical foundation determines whether Google finds and correctly processes your content in the first place. Crawling and indexing, Core Web Vitals, structured data, rendering, canonicals, hreflang – I explain the technical adjustments using real examples and show which measures have the biggest leverage for your rankings.
Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing SEO – from content creation and data analysis to the question of how content appears in AI Overviews and chatbots. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the logical extension: visibility not only in classic SERPs but also in the answers of ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Here I share strategies, prompts, and workflows for both areas.
Good SEO requires good tools. I introduce tools that I use myself on a daily basis – from Google Search Console to crawling tools and AI-based analysis solutions. In addition, there are templates, checklists, and workflows that you can use to structure your SEO work more efficiently. All tested in practice, nothing from theory.
