SEO Consultant & Freelancer
I have been designing and developing websites for over two decades, with a particular focus on technical SEO for the last 14 years.
Apart from that, I have mastered countless projects, 300+ of them in cooperation with my main agency trafficdesign GmbH.
SEO services at a glance: Tailor-made for your needs
I don't offer you a complete online marketing package, nor do I build your small WordPress site for €30 an hour. I offer you what I'm really good at and what I'm passionate about.
Technical SEO Audit
Analysis: In my technical SEO audits, I examine all important aspects of your website. I identify technical deficiencies, analyze the structure, meta tags, loading speed and other critical SEO elements.
Optimization: After the analysis, I focus on eliminating these weaknesses, preferably with your developers.
Support for relaunches / domain changes / migrations
Planning: Website relaunches are all about maintaining visibility and avoiding a plethora of 400 errors. There is also potential here to optimize your new structure and clean up the Google index.
Aftercare: After the relaunch, I check the server logs and monitor the rankings to make sure that nothing has been overlooked.
Shopify SEO
In recent years, Shopify SEO has been increasingly requested as a service. Unfortunately, Shopify still makes it quite difficult to implement the most normal SEO requirements without the use of countless apps.
Since then, I have worked on several stores and even created and optimized a Multilanguage Shopify store for a client. The result is impressive!
SEO Monitoring
I'm happy to set up alerts for you, monitor your development and create(automated) Datastudio / Looker reports.
I am not an online marketing agency that charges 12 hours a month for their whitelabel report.
SEO sparring for freelancers & agencies
Four eyes are usually better than two. I would be happy to join your Slack channel and act as a sparring partner.
You should already have an SEO who can help you make decisions on more complex matters.

You want to leave something fine here too?
Your SEO consultant & freelancer
I have been a Cologne resident by choise since 2010 and find it quite bearable here (beer culture, people, dialect).
If I start to feel cooped up, I like to spend a week here and there in places like Düsseldorf, Essen, Frankfurt, Berlin, Eastern Europe or Asia.
You can meet
in the Design Offices of the respective city or alternatively in a competitor's co-working space.

SEO by Ruslan? Wasn't this called something else?
Ruslan as a first name combined with a logo that includes a Z can certainly cause misunderstandings in the current situation in Ukraine. Of course, we don't want that to happen.
However, ChatGPT suggested this name to me in no time and I say why not?
