What do clients say about working with Moritz Serif?

Markus Merz Head of Digital / Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Stimme Mediengruppe

“Moritz comes from the newsroom, and you can tell in his SEO work. In an SEO audit he showed us where we were giving away traffic potential.

He put his finger right on the sore spot, and that is exactly what moved us forward, including on Google Discover.”

Translated from German.
