- LanguagesEnglish, Spanish, Dutch, Catalan
- PriceFixed, in writing
- Lock-inNone
We work across Europe from Girona and Málaga. If you are on this coast we can come to you, and often do.
A year that is not flat
A business on the Costa Brava does not behave like one in a city. Revenue lands in a few months, your customer decides well in advance, and often they do not live in Spain and do not search in Spanish.
That has three practical consequences, and all three tend to get missed.
You are late if you start in May
Search work does not pay off in three weeks. If you want to appear when someone is planning their summer, that work happens in autumn and winter.
What can still be done in spring is the quick layer: site speed, the Google Business profile, current photos and opening hours, and confirming the contact form reaches a mailbox somebody reads. That is not nothing, but it does not replace the groundwork.
Language is not a detail here
On this coast, real money arrives from people searching in English, Dutch or French. If your site only exists in Spanish and Catalan, those people find somebody else.
That does not mean translating everything into five languages. It means looking at where your visitors already come from and deciding with numbers. Sometimes the answer is two translated pages rather than the whole site.
Nobody has time in season
In August you will not read a twenty-page report or review copy. We know, because the same is true for us. So we concentrate decisions and heavy work outside the season, and during the busy months we keep things running.
A five-minute check Search for your own business on your phone the way a visitor would, with your town name after it. Are the phone number, the opening hours and the photos that come up actually correct? That is the first thing your customer sees and the last thing most owners look at.
What working with us looks like
We handle the website, the search work, the email and the systems behind them. The office is in Calonge, so Palamós, Platja d'Aro and Sant Feliu are fifteen minutes away, and we work across Europe from Girona and Málaga.
Almost every project starts the same way: an inventory. What do you have, where does it live, whose name is it in and who can touch it. It is the least glamorous part of the job and it prevents the most trouble later.
Every month you get a short report saying what was done, what changed and what comes next. If a month has nothing interesting in it, the report says so in two lines rather than filling five pages with charts.
What we do not do
No day-to-day social media, no video production and no brand campaigns. We know good people who do, and we are happy to introduce you.
We also do not sign lock-in contracts. If the work is worth it you stay, and if it is not we would rather find out early.
Half an hour and you will know where to start.
We look at what you have, tell you what we would fix first and what it would cost. If we are not the right people, we say so on that call.
Book a callWhere we work
Four pieces that only pay off together.
You can buy them separately, and most people start with one. The difference shows when they fit.
The website and the hosting
Fast on a phone, multilingual, and editable by you. Hosting included and the domain in your company's name from day one.
Websites & hostingBeing found before they arrive
Your customer searches from home, weeks ahead, often in English, Dutch or French. Working those searches is working your season.
SEO & online marketingGetting them back next year
The guest who already came is the cheapest one to win again. One email in February beats a lot of advertising in July.
Email marketingThe admin behind it
Quotes, invoices and follow-up in one place. We are a Holded partner and would rather set up what you already use than sell you something new.
CRM & systemsWhat changes when your agency lives here.
Not the language on its own. It is knowing how this market behaves and being able to explain it in yours.
We know the season
Nobody reads reports in August. The real decisions happen between October and February, and we plan around that.
Four languages
English, Spanish, Dutch and Catalan. On this coast a large share of the money arrives from people who do not search in Spanish.
You own everything
Domain, hosting, Google accounts and logins in your company's name. If you leave one day, you leave with all of it.
One supplier, not five
When the website, the email and the domain sit with three different firms, every problem starts with a week of emails. Not here.
From Blanes to Portbou.
These are the towns most of our coastal clients are in. If yours is not listed it still counts.
Businesses from here you can look at.
An estate agency, a taxi firm and a local media platform.
What foreign business owners ask us
Do you work in English throughout?
Yes. Meetings, reports, contracts and support are all in English if that suits you best, and we also work in Spanish, Dutch and Catalan. Your website is a separate decision: it should be in the languages your customers buy in, which is often not the one you think in.
When should I start preparing for the season?
Earlier than most people expect. Search rankings take months to move, so anything that needs to work in July is built from autumn onwards. What can still be done in spring is the fast work: site speed, the Google Business profile, real opening hours and photos, and checking the contact form actually arrives somewhere.
Which languages should my website be in?
It depends on who buys from you, and we check that in your own analytics before deciding. The usual base on this coast is Spanish and English, then French or Dutch depending on the business. Every extra language is content you have to maintain, so only the ones that bring customers are worth it.
Do you work with hotels, rentals and restaurants?
Yes, though it is worth saying what we do and do not do. We handle the website, the search work and the email. We do not run day-to-day social media and we do not do photography, and we can point you to people here who do both well.
What if my business closes in winter?
Then winter is when most of the work happens. That is when you rebuild the site, write content and set up the campaigns, because in season you will have neither the time nor the appetite. We can shape the invoicing around that if it helps.
If you already know what you need
Half an hour and you will know where to start.
We look at what you have, tell you what we would fix first and what it would cost. If we are not the right people, we say so on that call.
