Basic research on search engine patents, research papers, leaks... are essential knowledge drivers of the SEO industry.

Olaf Kopp is not only a pure SEO expert, but also for inbound marketing. This combination makes him unique.

Olaf Kopp is not only a pure SEO expert, because he has also been dealing with the topic of inbound for a long time. It is this combination that makes him unique and it is always nice to read an article from him. The articles that Olaf publishes on the agency's own blog are well worth reading.

I appreciate him as a partner, speaker and informer when it comes to marketing!

I've known Olaf Kopp for a long time and follow him (and his advice). Olaf has a very special view of marketing, web analytics, SEO and all the rest, and that's what makes his expertise so valuable. Where others quickly pant after the general information, Olaf looks behind the scenes, gives clever tips and questions everything that sounds (or looks) wrong. Olaf's experience and enthusiasm for modern, target group-oriented marketing are razor-sharp in the analysis. I appreciate him as a partner, speaker and informer when it comes to marketing. For me one of the best addresses in terms of SEO. And if he criticizes something, you should listen carefully, because his analysis is sound and gives valuable food for thought. A couple of marketing slobs could learn a lesson from that!

Olaf Kopp is an institution in the German and international SEO and online marketing scene.

Olaf Kopp is an institution in the German and international SEO and online marketing scene. He advances the entire industry with his in-depth content and analysis - and has done so for many years. Hardly anyone else digs so deeply into topics and thus brings as many gold nuggets to the surface as Olaf. Without him we would know significantly less about E-A-T and semantic search, but also about SEO and content in general. Therefore: If you have the chance to listen to Olaf and read from him - do it!

The holistic view and approach to a unique problem is unique!

Olaf Kopp doesn't mince words and takes projects to the next level. I've worked with a great many online agencies, "experts" and marketing/SEO "gurus", but no one has been able to go from small to big so quickly and never lose sight of the underlying problem. The holistic view and approach to a unique problem is, as far as I can tell, unique.

"Interesting? I look forward to your request!"
