TRUSTED BY 70+ B2B IT CLIENTS
WHY LEADEFFECT?
As a specialized B2B SEO agency focused on IT and software, we’ve learned one thing from over 70 projects: Companies looking to grow in the B2B sector don’t just need more visitors—they need the right ones.
Extensive experience gained from more than 70 IT and software projects
We know what matters when it comes to SEO for IT solutions that require explanation. In practical terms, this means you don’t have to explain your market to us first. We’re familiar with the typical target audiences, the relevant search terms, and the most common SEO mistakes in the IT sector.
Measurability Instead of Gut Feelings
Personalized Support on an Equal Footing
A Clear Focus on IT Marketing
As a B2B SEO agency focused exclusively on IT and software, we understand the long decision-making cycles, the small but valuable target audiences, and the unique requirements of solutions that need to be explained. Instead of learning at the expense of your budget, every decision we make is based on experience.
A recent study by Sopro found that 71% of all B2B buyers start their research with a simple Google search—and more than four out of five decision-makers trust organic results significantly more than paid ads. This means that organic search still generates 53% of all B2B inbound leads, making it one of the largest lead channels in B2B marketing.
However, the critical window of opportunity is narrower than many people think: According to 6sense’s 2025 B2B Buyer Experience Report, 94% of buying groups have already identified their top choice before they even make contact—and in 77% of cases, that very same top choice ends up winning the deal. So if you’re not visible during the early research phase, you simply won’t make the shortlist.
On top of that, there’s a new factor: 73% of B2B buyers now actively use AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity in their research process. However, 78% of companies still don’t have a strategy for this new visibility. So if you invest in SEO and GEO now, you’ll have a clear advantage.
SERVICES
STATUS QUO ANALYSIS
At the start of our collaboration, we analyze the current situation: We review all technical, content-related, and structural aspects of the website, identify areas for improvement, and use this information to define a clear, data-driven SEO roadmap.
TECHNICAL SEO
Without a solid technical foundation, even the best content won’t be effective. We analyze crawling, indexing, load times, information architecture, internal linking, and structured data—and use these insights to develop specific optimization strategies.
CREATING STRATEGIC SEO CONTENT
High-quality SEO content is the most important component of B2B SEO. We develop a content strategy that addresses search intent throughout the entire buyer’s journey and create compelling content—one that appeals to both search engines and the decision-makers in your target audience.
Backlink building
Backlinks are a key ranking factor. We develop a targeted outreach strategy and build high-quality, topic-relevant backlinks from specialized portals, industry media, and partners—to strengthen your domain authority over the long term.
Consulting & workshops
Would you like to handle SEO in-house over the long term? We’ll train your employees in search engine optimization, share our expertise, and provide guidance—so your team can understand SEO, actively shape your SEO strategy, and make the right decisions.
CONVERSION OPTIMIZATION
More organic traffic alone isn't enough. Through targeted conversion optimization of your SEO pages, we ensure that prospective customers don't just consume your content, but also reach out to you—through clear user guidance, compelling arguments, and appropriate CTAs placed in the right spots.

DIFFERENCES
The B2B market differs significantly from the B2C market. The target audiences are smaller, the buying processes are longer, the keywords are more specific, and the value of each qualified lead is significantly higher. As a specialized B2B SEO agency, we build our strategies around these differences from the very beginning. Specifically, this means:
Shortlist of "
"
Search terms
The “maximum visibility” approach doesn’t work in B2B. A narrowly defined target audience requires an equally precise selection of keywords: Which terms reflect a search intent that truly aligns with your solution? Long-term SEO success depends largely on this. That’s why we invest more time than other agencies in getting to know your market. And this is exactly where our experience from over 70 IT projects pays off directly.
Low search volume isn't a problem
In B2B, relevant keywords often have low search volume—but that’s not a bad thing. So-called long-tail keywords (e.g., “quality management software for the healthcare industry”) are particularly valuable because of their specific search intent: They attract fewer visitors, but those visitors are highly relevant and have a genuine intent to purchase.
Quality over quantity
B2B decision-makers are typically highly qualified professionals and executives. To win them over, it’s not enough to optimize your content solely for search engines. The content must be compelling in both substance and style—so that prospective clients get the best possible impression of your company and are then motivated to reach out to you.
Trust is everything
In B2B, deals often involve larger investments and longer contract terms. Decisions are made carefully and tend to be based on facts rather than emotions. That’s exactly why professionalism and expertise must also be reflected in your SEO content and your entire online presence.
Instead of a deep understanding of markets and buying centers, many traditional SEO agencies often focus solely on the rankings of individual keywords. As a specialized IT marketing agency, we know this problem all too well.

FAQ
A B2B SEO agency helps companies strategically increase their visibility in search engines. It analyzes search behavior in the B2B segment, optimizes websites in terms of both technical aspects and content, and develops strategies to reach relevant decision-makers at target companies through organic search results. Unlike traditional SEO agencies, the focus is not on maximizing traffic, but on generating qualified leads.
In B2B, there are usually multiple decision-makers involved, sales cycles are longer, and solutions are often technically complex. An experienced B2B SEO consultant understands these processes and delivers content tailored to the various roles within the buying center.
Yes, absolutely—in many cases. Google Ads (SEA) delivers fast, measurable results, while SEO builds up the organic channel over the long term. In the initial phase, these two strategies complement each other particularly well: SEA generates initial leads right away, while SEO builds visibility and authority at the same time. As a full-service agency, we therefore offer you both.
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization—optimization for AI-based search results such as Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, or ChatGPT. Since 73% of B2B buyers today actively use AI tools in their research process, we take GEO requirements into account right from the content creation stage.
Leadeffect is the ideal partner for B2B IT and software companies with products or services that require explanation—from SaaS to custom software to complex platforms. Companies looking to generate qualified leads rather than irrelevant website visits will particularly benefit from our expertise and experience gained from over 70 projects.
