Profile
Most publisher SEO consultants come from agencies. Moritz Serif comes from the newsroom and still writes himself. He works in English and German, remote across time zones or on site in Europe, and he does the work personally – no account manager, no junior in between.
Results
The levers are the same everywhere – topical authority, headlines and images, technical basics, republishing discipline. A special-interest portal grew from 865,355 to 7.96 million clicks in one year. A news portal that had fallen to 9,000 clicks a day was back at several hundred thousand clicks a day within five months. A publisher earned 13.2 million clicks from Discover and Search in twelve months.
Testimonial
“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.
