SEO & GEO Consultant in Amsterdam
TL;DR
As an SEO and GEO consultant for Amsterdam and Dutch brands, I build Dutch-language visibility in Google and AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Perplexity, and structure international sites so each market ranks properly. Engagements start with a one-week audit costing about €1,400, then continue as monthly implementation.

How I work with Amsterdam teams
Dutch SERPs reward brands that invest in genuine Dutch content, because many international competitors only offer English or weak machine translations. I research Dutch keywords from scratch rather than translating English lists, set up hreflang for the Netherlands and Flanders, and build authority through Dutch trade media and review platforms. For GEO, I check how assistants describe your brand in Dutch and English and fix the sources behind any inaccurate answers.
What’s included
- AI visibility audit — how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews describe you and your competitors today
- Prompt set that tracks the questions your buyers actually ask AI assistants
- Entity consistency — name, description, offers, people and profiles aligned across the web
- Structured data (Organization, Service, Product, FAQ, Article) and an llms.txt file
- Answer-first content — pages that state the answer up front and back it with specifics
- Citation and brand-mention plan — directories, comparisons, reviews, communities and press
- Monthly AI visibility report alongside search and AI referral traffic
The Amsterdam context
- Many companies use Amsterdam as their EU headquarters and launch from here into Germany, Belgium and France, so growth plans have to account for several languages and marketplaces rather than one domestic market.
- bol.com is the leading marketplace in the Netherlands and Flanders, and brands have to decide deliberately which products they sell there and which they keep exclusive to their own store.
Tracking and data collection follow GDPR (AVG), UAVG & Dutch Telecommunications Act. The Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens actively checks websites for misleading cookie banners and does not accept cookie walls that block access unless visitors agree to tracking. I implement banners with an equally visible reject option and use server-side tagging so measurement survives realistic consent rates.

FAQ
SEO & GEO Consultant in Amsterdam: FAQ
Can you translate our English site into Dutch for SEO?
I don't simply translate. Dutch buyers use different terms and phrasing, so I start with Dutch keyword research, brief native writers and adapt page structure where the market needs it.
Do Dutch and Belgian pages need separate SEO?
Often yes. Vocabulary, pricing and delivery details differ between the Netherlands and Flanders, so separate nl-NL and nl-BE versions with correct hreflang usually outperform a single Dutch page.
Should our marketing in the Netherlands be in Dutch or English?
For B2B tech, English often works for early adopters, but conversion and search volume improve once key pages exist in Dutch. For consumer brands, Dutch is essential. I work with native Dutch writers and check everything against search data before it goes live.
Can you help us expand from Amsterdam into Germany and Belgium?
Yes. I plan market entry country by country, including language versions, marketplace choices such as bol.com or Zalando, local payment methods and separate performance tracking for each market.
