Seite1SEO is based in Köln-Mülheim and run by Bernd Matthey, who founded the agency in 2018. The agency works with local service businesses and trades ("Dienstleister und Handwerksbetriebe") across Köln, aiming to increase customer inquiries through local search visibility. Its focus extends across Köln's districts (Veedel), from Deutz to Ehrenfeld, with an emphasis on ranking within the Google Local Pack. The declared service range covers Search Engine Optimization, Social Media Marketing, Content Marketing, Branding and Marketing Strategy, delivered through a combination of classic SEO and newer disciplines the agency labels GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and AIO (Artificial Intelligence Optimization). Concretely, this includes technical and content-based SEO, Google Business Profile management, and optimization intended to make content readable and citable by AI systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. Methods mentioned include semantic content structuring, question-and-answer formatting, and schema markup aimed at qualifying pages as sources for Google's AI-generated summaries. The agency also states it is preparing client data structures for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard intended to let AI agents access business systems directly, positioning this as preparation for further AI integration alongside its core local SEO work.
