Success stories

Challenge

Akademis experts help parents place their children in the best boarding schools in England and Scotland. The goal was to increase organic visibility and convert website users into customers.

Solution

We have redesigned the Akademis website and optimized it for SEO. A server move has significantly improved the loading speed. The content has been restructured to increase the conversion rate. We also regularly train the team on SEO to build up knowledge in-house.

Result

Akademis has been ranked number 1 for "boarding school England" for over 4 years, is the industry leader in British boarding school placement and has 52 first places on Google, 30 of which are featured snippets. Organic traffic rose from 687 to 8388.

Challenge

As part of Germany's most well-known SEO contest, hosted by Agenturtipp.de, the challenge was to make a new domain without existing authority visible for the fantasy keyword "Keyword King" within 30 days - in competition with over 100 SEO professionals from across Germany.

Solution

We implemented a lean strategy: an EMD domain, AI-powered content, targeted on-page optimization, and strategically placed industry backlinks. Agile implementation and clear prioritization resulted in a focused competitor page.

Result

Third place in the 2025 SEO Contest and a special prize for the highest visibility in AI search engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity). The domain achieved above-average rankings, visibility, and mentions within a very short time.

Challenge

AlexAsia wanted to grow organically, overtake the competition and become the go-to brand for travel to Southeast Asia.

Solution

We visually redesigned and structured the AlexAsia website. Through targeted SEO optimizations and the implementation of relevant keywords, we significantly improved the Google rankings. Our comprehensive technical and content optimization ensured an excellent user experience.

Result

• 113x No. 1 on Google • Traffic value 14,000 EUR / month • +600% clicks “Benny has taken our SEO to a new level. The collaboration was professional and the positive effects were quickly noticeable. Thanks to them, we can concentrate on our core competencies and reach more readers!”

Working with HECHT INS GEFECHT – and especially with Benny – is a real win for me. They support me with the search engine optimization of my online shop and website in a way that's not only technically convincing, but also a great fit. Benny thinks strategically, explains complex SEO topics clearly, and always keeps the big picture in mind – including my brand positioning. What I particularly like: It's not about short-term rankings or superficial optimization, but rather a sustainable SEO strategy tailored to my goals. You can see that they work with experience, clarity, and genuine passion. So, if you're looking for an SEO agency that doesn't just "optimize" but really thinks along with you, HECHT INS GEFECHT is the right choice for you.

I gained a lot of valuable tips from Benny's SEO consultation! For my website, my Google Business profile, and much more. There were topics I previously considered unimportant, but now I understand the background and importance. With Benny's tips, I can set priorities and work on a plan that will really help me move forward.

We had an SEO consultation with Benny von Hecht today and are absolutely convinced. We received very competent and patient advice regarding SEO aspects, connections were well explained, and possible solutions were presented. It was refreshing to have the complexity of the SEO world explained so skillfully, without the usual scaremongering or laissez-faire statements that basic SEO aspects are no longer relevant. Benny carefully weighed up and explained what was important and why, and was not put off by various questions. We have had various consultations on website topics over the past few years, and this one stands out positively. If you are looking for professional SEO advice and want to get the most out of your website, this is the place to go. We are looking forward to implementing the support for our new website. Many thanks from us! The initial contact with Johannes was also extremely helpful and solution-oriented; a great team.
