Thanks to the specific recommendations and the structured roadmap, we now have a clear directionThe team at the Gut Grambek Golf Club e.V. is very satisfied with its collaboration with the Found First team.
The comprehensive and detailed analysis of our online presence, along with the personalized, expert advice, has provided us with valuable insights into how we can further improve our visibility in the digital space.
We were particularly impressed by the clear presentation of the results and the straightforward explanation of the recommended actions – ranging from short-term optimizations to a long-term strategy for improved discoverability.
The importance of new developments, such as AI-powered search (GEO), was also explained in a practical way, giving us a much better understanding of the future requirements for a modern website.
The collaboration was professional, reliable, and very pleasant throughout.
Questions were answered quickly, and complex topics were explained in an easy-to-understand way.

Strong RecommendationFound First’s visibility audit was extremely helpful for my travel and family website and was carried out very professionally.
I found the thorough analysis of my website’s potential in terms of Google, AI, and ChatGPT visibility – as well as the many concrete and realistic recommendations – particularly valuable.
Thanks to the consultation, I now have a much better understanding of how content structure, internal linking, and long-term SEO strategies should be effectively organized.
I also found the suggestions for additional passive income sources and for the long-term development of the website particularly interesting.
Communication was always pleasant, structured, and tailored specifically to my website. I now have a much clearer roadmap and a much better understanding of which measures truly take priority. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their visibility in a sustainable way.

I’m very impressed with the resultsI received a visibility audit from foundfirst for the website of my practice as an alternative therapist specializing in psychotherapy in Hamburg, and I’m very impressed with the results.
For me, this has essentially opened up a whole new world, which – thanks to the dedicated team at foundfirst – I was able not only to discover but also to fully understand.
My new knowledge on topics such as content structure, internal linking, and SEO priorities is helping me position my practice more clearly and implement targeted measures to increase my visibility and reach more clients.
I particularly liked the well-organized presentation in the content plan as well as the clear structure of the various implementation phases.
From simple “quick fixes” like optimizing the Google Business Profile to a detailed, long-term SEO strategy, everything was presented in a way that was easy to follow and practical.
The support and communication with the Found First team were excellent at all times – professional, fast, reliable, and on an equal footing. I felt very well supported throughout the entire process. Thank you so much for the great collaboration!

Importantly, it showed me a strong gap in the marketMost of my customer acquisition is through YouTube, and my SEO and blog-based work has always been fairly limited, just stuff I’ve picked up over the years.
But even with the small amount of time I’d put in, I could see potential and knew it was an area I needed to invest more time in.
I had an audit with Dave and it very clearly highlighted the areas I need to fix the most. More importantly, it showed me a strong gap in the market where I could start creating pieces that are much more likely to rank and bring a good return for my business.
The audit was provided quickly but very thorough, and it’s given me a clear plan of what to work on.
That’s really helpful for someone like me who’s time-strapped with all the other projects in my business and just wants to be clear about what to focus on, with an expert telling me what to do and then helping me do it (My brain just could not cope with having to pick it apart myself!).
I’d recommend it to anyone who wants clarity on what their website is doing from an SEO/GEO point of view, and how to improve it.

A real Eye-OpenerThe visibility audit and subsequent consultation with Found First were a real eye-opener for my Business English Service.
Since Business English over the phone occupies a very specific niche, it was important for me to understand how I could present it more effectively online. The consultation made it clear to me that traditional SEO isn’t enough for CASTLE® Pro.
As a provider of a virtually unknown service that isn’t in high demand and isn’t region-specific, our priority is now clearly on GEO (Generative Engine Optimization).
Dave explained to us, both patiently and clearly, how essential it is to integrate the website and search engine with all their associated components – from content structure and internal linking to optimizing the Google Business Profile for Google Maps.
In addition to their in-depth expertise, I was particularly impressed by the excellent advice and friendly support from the Found First team. Thanks to their professional guidance, my business now has a clear, long-term roadmap.
With this truly well-thought-out content strategy and concrete, practical recommendations, I finally feel confident that I can position my offerings professionally online and specifically improve my discoverability.
Now it’s time to put it into action, and I’m super motivated because I feel confident that I’ve finally understood how to go about it. Thank you so much, Dave!

Is Found First SEO legit?
Yes – Found First SEO is a real SEO and GEO consultancy for businesses that want to improve their visibility in Google, Google Maps and AI-powered search systems.
Our work is not based on empty promises or quick ranking tricks. It is based on:
SEO is not an instant fix. Strong visibility comes from the right content with the correct intent, a clear website structure, solid technical foundations, trust signals and consistent improvement.
Is Found First SEO good?
Found First SEO is a strong fit if you do not want vague SEO theory, but clear answers to questions like:
Many clients value the fact that they do not just receive a list of problems. They receive a clear plan: what matters, why it matters and what should happen next.
Does Found First SEO work and what results do clients often mention?
Found First SEO definitely works. Every result depends on the website, the market, the competition and how the recommendations are implemented. But client feedback often mentions:
The goal is not just “more traffic”. The goal is for the right people to find, understand and trust your business.
As Adam says, the Google search console speaks for itself.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Google Search Console speaks for itselfDave pulled apart a first-mover proposition website with laser precision…
…What I now have is a structured 40-piece content roadmap, organised into six topic clusters with clear hub-and-spoke architecture and internal linking logic I genuinely didn’t understand before.
I know which pages to build first, why, and how they connect. The content structure is mapped across awareness, consideration and decision stages — so every piece of content has a purpose in the buyer journey rather than just existing.
The Google Search Console data since then speaks for itself — both impressions and clicks have trended upward in a way they simply weren’t before.
What kind of businesses does Found First SEO work with?
Found First SEO is especially useful for businesses, freelancers and projects that have already built something online or want to grow more strategically.
Typical good-fit clients include:
If your website already has potential but needs more structure, visibility, trust and clearer priorities, a Visibility Audit is often a good first step.
Why clients choose Found First SEO
Many businesses have already tried SEO tools, ranking reports, blog posts or small website changes. The problem is rarely that nothing exists.
The problem is often that there is no clear strategy.
Found First SEO helps connect the important pieces:
This turns scattered SEO ideas into a clear, sensible action plan.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Clear, practical and highly recommendedI work as a body therapist in Hamburg-Altona, where we offer both individual therapy and group sessions. I booked a Visibility Audit for our practice, and working with Dave was pleasant, straightforward and impressively quick from the very beginning.
Within a short time, we received a highly detailed report that gave us a clear overview of our current visibility and positioning within the market.
The amount of information initially felt a little overwhelming. However, as we worked through the report, it quickly became clear how accessible and practical the findings were. Even without specialist knowledge of online marketing, I could easily understand where our digital presence was already performing well and where further opportunities remained.
The specific recommendations and clear structure of the analysis were particularly valuable. They helped me look at our practice from a new perspective and establish priorities for our next steps.
I would therefore highly recommend working with Found First.

Who runs Found First SEO?
Found First SEO is run by Dave Bell, a British SEO consultant and content strategist based in northern Germany.
Before starting Found First SEO, Dave co-founded and helped grow Hurry The Food Up, a vegetarian recipe and meal planning website that reached millions of readers per year.
At its height, the site grew to around 4.2 million annual page views and peaked at around 6 million page views during the Covid period.
Hurry The Food Up became a major vegetarian recipe, weight loss and meal planning site with a large international audience.
That growth did not come from theory alone. It came from years of hands-on SEO testing, content planning, publishing, technical improvements, internal linking, recipe optimisation, email marketing and learning what actually happens when real people search, click, read and buy.
That practical background shapes the way Found First SEO works today.
The focus is not on confusing reports or generic SEO advice. The focus is on clear analysis, useful priorities and realistic next steps – so businesses can understand what is holding their visibility back and what to improve first.
For clients, this means you are not only getting SEO advice from someone who has read about search visibility. You are working with someone who has helped build, grow and run a real content business that attracted millions of visits from Google.

The reviews come from direct client feedback, Google reviews, written testimonials and, where available, video testimonials. This page is an official part of the Found First SEO website and does not pretend to be an independent third-party review site.
Is Found First SEO legit?

We do not promise guaranteed rankings, because serious SEO depends on many factors, including competition, website quality, market, implementation and time.

Found First SEO is especially useful if you want concrete, understandable and practical SEO recommendations. Clients often mention that after an audit or consultation, they understand much more clearly which actions should be prioritised and how their website can be developed strategically.
Can I see examples of client results?
Yes. This page includes client testimonials with context and outcomes. Some projects may later be turned into fuller case studies, where clients give permission. We are careful not to publish private data, confidential business information or sensitive figures without approval.
What kind of businesses does Found First SEO work with?
Found First SEO works with local businesses, service providers, niche businesses, content websites, consultants, coaches and professional service companies. The best fit is usually a business that already has some online presence but needs clearer structure, stronger visibility, more trust signals and better priorities.
How quickly do clients usually see results?
It depends on the starting point. Some improvements, such as technical fixes, better internal linking or clearer page structure, can be implemented quickly. Visible SEO results usually take longer. That is why Found First SEO focuses on realistic expectations, clear priorities and long-term actions that make sense.

Can I work with Found First SEO without a monthly contract?
Yes, depending on your needs. A one-off Visibility Audit or consultation can be a good starting point. For businesses that want to grow over time, ongoing SEO or GEO support may make sense later. The best option can be discussed in the first call.
