Services

SEO, Google Ads, web design. Everything that brings in customers online.

Being found is only the first step. What matters to us is whether it turns into enquiries, and we align SEO, ads and your website around that, as one. We use AI where it saves time. We make the decisions.

Web & Tech

Web design

Built quickly, with clean code.

Websites that load quickly and turn visitors into enquiries. We build using Astro and a headless CMS, and pay attention to loading times and conversion rates right from the first sketch – not just once the site is already live.

  • Astro, Next.js, Shopify Headless
  • Landing pages, funnels, editorial
  • Conversion optimisation & A/B testing
Web design Heidelberg →
Visibility

SEO agency

Own topics instead of chasing keywords.

Good search rankings don’t happen overnight. But once they’re established, they last. We build authority on your topics step by step, rather than chasing after individual keywords. This works just as well for local businesses as it does for B2B and e-commerce.

  • Technical audits & migrations
  • Topical authority maps
  • Local SEO & B2B SEO

Paid Media

Google Ads

Google Ads that pay off.

We manage campaigns based on what remains in the end – that is, on margin and customer value rather than clicks. This requires a tracking system that actually measures these metrics. That’s what we set up first.

  • Google & Bing Ads, PMax
  • Server-side tracking & GTM
  • A/B testing with statistical significance

Paid Social

Social media

Ads that don't burn out.

Social ads on Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn, backed by a creative pipeline that continuously delivers new visuals. We replace ads before they wear out and measure every campaign with clean conversion tracking.

  • Facebook & Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn
  • Full-funnel campaigns & lead ads
  • Creative tests with clear criteria

How we work

A small team that uses AI sensibly.

With us, there is no contact person who simply passes things on. Whoever talks to you also works on your project. AI handles the routine work; strategy and responsibility stay in Heidelberg.

Process

How we work. Four phases, clearly paced.

01 · Audit

Data first

We look at where you stand, what your competitors are doing and whether your tracking is accurate. We start with an analysis, not a glossy presentation.

02 · Strategy

Find the levers

This becomes a roadmap with clear goals and an honest timeline. The numbers behind it will stand up in front of senior management too.

03 · Build

Clean execution

We get to work and send you a short update every week, so you never have to chase us.

04 · Scale

Iterate

Every month we test what can be improved. Once a quarter we review together whether the strategy still fits.

Your online marketing agency in Heidelberg.

Advertising agency, web agency, internet agency or digital agency – they usually mean the same thing: a partner who plans, builds and raises the visibility of your online presence. At STARK, a team in Heidelberg takes care of this.

What does an online marketing agency in Heidelberg do?

We make sure that businesses from Heidelberg and the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region are found online and that visitors turn into enquiries. To do this, we cover every discipline: search engine optimisation (SEO) in Heidelberg, Google Ads and performance marketing (Microsoft Bing too, if you wish), social media marketing with paid ads, content marketing and web design including web development and programming – coordinated with each other rather than running side by side. As a WordPress agency, we also handle relaunches and migrations without losing rankings.

How do you create a marketing strategy that really holds up?

We analyse your target audience and their customer journey, develop a concept that fits your business, and then implement it ourselves. Before that, we set up conversion tracking, because without reliable KPIs such as enquiries, conversions and revenue, nothing can be optimised in a targeted way. The result is online marketing strategies you can justify internally, including to senior management. And because digital visibility is currently shifting, we factor in AI search such as ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews from the outset. To get your brand mentioned in AI answers, we work as a GEO agency; the free AI Visibility Check shows where you stand today.

Why a local agency in Heidelberg?

Because proximity makes coordination easier. Our studio is located on Hans-Bunte-Straße in the city of Heidelberg – face-to-face meetings rather than anonymous tickets. We know the Heidelberg market well, spanning the Old Town, Bahnstadt and the Technology Park, and tailor our local SEO and campaigns specifically to the city and the surrounding area, from Walldorf to Mannheim, where we operate as an SEO agency in Mannheim and a Google Ads agency in Mannheim. For many clients, we are an advertising agency, web agency and internet agency in Heidelberg all in one. Find out more about our team and how we work, or get in touch directly.

Range of services

An online marketing agency for the entire funnel. Not just for individual channels.

Successful online marketing rarely comes from a single channel. As a digital marketing agency, we combine SEO and SEA so that organic rankings and search engine advertising work together instead of costing you twice. On top of that come social media campaigns via Facebook Ads and Instagram, email marketing and marketing automation with Brevo, as well as affiliate marketing for e-commerce and comparison projects. Where it suits the brand, we support you with branding and corporate design, so that your presence stays consistent across all channels.

Before a campaign launches, we define what it should achieve: lead generation, sales or reach. This includes a budget and a return on investment (ROI) that we can measure. We reduce wasted spend by targeting ads closely at your audience. More budget only comes once the numbers add up. That sometimes takes longer than a quick traffic spike, but it still delivers after the first quarter.

Marketing agency, internet marketing agency or online marketing firm?

The terms change, but the task stays the same: you want more enquiries and more revenue online. Whether you are looking for a marketing agency, an advertising agency for online marketing, an internet marketing agency, a web marketing agency or simply an online marketing firm – what matters is that the agency understands your industry and backs its recommendations with data. That is what we want to be measured by. This is why we don't offer fixed packages; every strategy is developed for your business. If your in-house team wants to handle implementation itself, we also support this as digital marketing consultants.

SEA agency and social media agency in Heidelberg

For online marketing in Heidelberg, we are your local point of contact: as an SEA agency in Heidelberg for Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising, and as a social media agency in Heidelberg for paid campaigns on Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn. Online presence, content creation and campaign management are all handled by the same team. We plan them together and tailor them to the individual stages of your customer journey.
