SEO Freelancer Berlin: €75 an hour, no agency markup
I’m Eric Wilkinson, an independent SEO freelancer based in Berlin. I do the audits, the strategy and the hands-on work myself, so the person you brief is the person doing the job. No account manager passing messages along, no junior staff learning on your site, no agency markup on top.
Thirty minutes, no pitch. I’ll tell you what I’d fix first, whether or not you hire me.
What I can help with
Most people come to me with one of these. If your problem isn’t on the list, ask anyway and I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right person.
- Technical SEO. Crawling, indexing, site speed, structure and the things quietly stopping Google from reading your site properly. More on technical SEO.
- On-page and content. Titles, headings, internal links and pages written to answer what people actually search for, not to hit a word count.
- Local SEO. Google Business Profile, local landing pages and the groundwork that gets you found in your own city. More on local SEO in Berlin.
- Websites built to rank. WordPress and Shopify work, either fixing what you have or building it properly. See web design.
- Google Ads and landing pages. Pages that convert the traffic you’re already paying for. See Google Ads.
- AI search visibility. Being cited by ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity is becoming its own channel. I write about it in my guide to ChatGPT visibility.

Before we started working with Eric and his Team, we were invisible. Google Page 7, zero organic search leads. Thats 6 Years ago. We are now fully working on our organic search content. We are ROCC Film, a film production company in Berlin. Search, if you like. You will find us. ;) Besides that success, Eric is fun to work with … Read the full review on Google

Eric has built and optimised several websites for me, which is why I have also been happy to recommend him to people I know. Eric is not only very likeable, he also grasps how things fit together very quickly, even when it is a website from a completely different industry, SEO included. Mechanical engineering, for example.

What it costs: €75 per hour, nothing hidden
That’s the rate for everything: audits, strategy, implementation and the calls in between. For a job we’ve scoped together, I’ll give you a fixed quote up front so you know the number before we start. Work runs month to month and you can stop whenever you like.
Book a call with me, not a sales team
Thirty minutes, free. I look at your site with you and tell you what I would fix first. If I am not the right person for the job, I will say so.
Projects I handled start to finish
A few real examples rather than inflated numbers. Every one of these is a site you can go and look at.
MAXERA Rechtsanwälte
Web design and SEO for a specialist employment law firm, built around the cases they want to be found for.

SEO freelancer or SEO agency: the real difference
With an agency you get a team and a process, and you pay for both. Somebody manages the account, somebody else does the work, and the price carries the overhead of everyone in between. With a freelancer you get one person, and you always know who that is.
The honest trade-off: one person has limits. I can’t take on unlimited work, and if your project needs a bigger team than me I’ll say so on the first call rather than take the money. What I can offer is that nothing gets lost between people, because there is nobody in between.
How we start: three steps
A free call
Thirty minutes. You tell me what the site should be doing and what’s been tried already. I give you my honest first read, with no obligation to go further.
A straight assessment
I look at the site properly and tell you what’s actually holding it back, in order of what matters. For scoped work you get a fixed quote up front.
Highest impact first
We start with the work that moves the needle soonest, month to month. You see what I’m doing and why, and you can stop at any point.
Tools and Integrations
The stack I actually work in, day to day.
