Strategic growth support since 2021

Combining website development, SEO, performance marketing, and tracking automation, we built a scalable digital infrastructure that supported foodforecast from its founding in 2021 through its international expansion and on to a successful funding round.

2021

Launch of the first website

The kickoff: We developed the first foodforecast website as the digital foundation for the fledgling startup. The website served as a central hub for potential customers and formed the basis for all subsequent digital marketing activities.

2023

Website Modernization & SEO Strategy

We modernized and expanded the website with a focus on new business areas and organic visibility. Through strategic SEO measures, we increased organic traffic by 98% within 12 months, thereby expanding our reach without incurring additional advertising costs.

2024

International Expansion

To support its European expansion, we localized the website into several languages. The multilingual infrastructure enabled foodforecast to systematically tap into new markets and position itself as an international player in the food-tech sector.

2024–2025

Performance marketing

We launched targeted performance marketing campaigns on Google and LinkedIn to increase reach. Through continuous optimization, we increased clicks on active Google Ads search ads in Germany and the Netherlands by 157% and generated qualified leads for the growing sales team—an ideal foundation for the successful funding round.
