Austria is a small but mature search market, and most of its demand is in German – with Google.at, Austrian vocabulary and a strong pull towards Germany and Switzerland. This ranking is written for a company from the US, the UK, another EU country or the Nordics that wants to hire SEO agencies in Austria, either to win Austrian customers or to run German-language SEO for the whole DACH region. I kept 8 agencies, all registered in the Austrian Firmenbuch, and looked up each one’s FN number on evi.gv.at.
SEO agencies in Austria at a glance
If you only have a minute, these are the SEO agencies in Austria I would shortlist as a foreign company, in the order I would contact them. Each is reviewed below, with its registry data on its company profile.
- wukonig.com – B2B online marketing agency in Graz – SEO, GEO, paid search, CRO and analytics.
- LIMESODA – Owner-run SEO, online marketing and web agency in Vienna, Linz and St. Pölten.
- otago – Vienna agency that grew from SEO into search, paid social, programmatic and tracking.
- eMagnetix – Upper Austrian search and performance agency: SEO, GEO, Google and Microsoft Ads, tracking.
- .kloos – Vienna SEO, Google Ads and GEO agency with service in English.
- seoCon – Linz and Vienna agency for SEO, Google Ads, Matomo analytics and WordPress or Shopify.

- WESEO – Styrian SEO and web agency with offices in Vienna, Graz and Salzburg.
How I ranked the SEO agencies in Austria
I ranked the SEO agencies in Austria by quality first, fit for a foreign client second and price third:
- Track record – years on the market, named clients and case studies, such as wukonig.com’s industrial B2B clients and otago’s consumer brands.
- Search depth – technical and content SEO, GEO for AI search, analytics and tracking, and whether paid search is run by the same team.
- Fit for a foreign buyer – English on the website and in the team, and work for clients outside Austria, as at .kloos.
- Reviews – three agencies have Clutch profiles, but none has client reviews yet, so I say clearly that there are no usable reviews and name the strongest other signal.
- Registration – every agency is registered and headquartered in Austria. I read the FN number and the UID from each Impressum and checked the FN on evi.gv.at, the official publication platform that also shows Firmenbuch entries. Smaller Austrian companies usually file only abbreviated accounts, so there are no revenue figures in this ranking.
The list includes only firms registered and headquartered in Austria. I left out local offices of foreign networks and agencies that belong to a foreign group – for example Online Solutions Group, whose Austrian business is run by a Munich GmbH, and First Page, which belongs to an Australian group. I also dropped one consultancy because I could not find a Firmenbuch number for the business.
The 8 best SEO agencies in Austria, reviewed
Every SEO agency in Austria below gets the same treatment: who they are, what clients say, the facts that matter when you hire, and my opinion on who should – and should not – work with them.
1. wukonig.com
B2B online marketing agency in Graz – SEO, GEO, paid search, CRO and analytics
wukonig.com is a Graz online marketing agency founded in 1999 by Jörg Wukonig and Reinhard Posch, who still run it as partners. Its focus is B2B lead generation: SEO and generative engine optimisation (GEO), paid search, conversion optimisation, marketing automation and analytics. It is a general partnership (OG) owned by the two partners.
What clients say. It has a Clutch profile but no reviews yet, so there are no usable reviews. The strongest signal is the client list on its website, which names Saubermacher, ams OSRAM, Magna International, TK Elevator, NetApp, Red Hat, AutoScout24 and a&o Hostels. SE Ranking’s directory of Austrian agencies also gives it the highest Agency Score of any Austrian agency (88).
Facts: founded 1999 · Graz · 10–49 people · $150–199/h · minimum project $5,000 · German, English.
My take: my first call for an industrial or tech company that wants SEO measured against leads rather than rankings. Best for: B2B and industrial companies that want SEO and GEO measured against leads. Not for: small local businesses on a tight budget, given its Clutch-listed rate of $150–199 an hour.

2. LIMESODA
Owner-run SEO, online marketing and web agency in Vienna, Linz and St. Pölten
LIMESODA grew out of a new-media partnership founded in 2002 and has operated as a GmbH since 2006. It combines SEO and online marketing with WordPress and web development, from offices in Vienna, Linz and St. Pölten. According to its Impressum and the Firmenbuch, the three founders – Philipp Pfaller, Bernd Pfeiffer and Klaus Feiler – still own a third each.
What clients say. It has a Clutch profile but no reviews yet, and I found no client list to cite, so there are no usable reviews. More than two decades of continuous work and an unchanged founder ownership are the signal.
Facts: founded 2002 · Vienna · 10–49 people · $100–149/h · minimum project $10,000 · German, English.
My take: the agency I would pick when SEO has to go hand in hand with a new or rebuilt WordPress site. Best for: mid-sized Austrian and DACH companies that want SEO tied to website development. Not for: buyers who need a large international performance team or content at scale in languages other than German.

3. otago
Vienna agency that grew from SEO into search, paid social, programmatic and tracking
otago started as an SEO agency in Vienna and has grown into a broad online marketing consultancy covering SEO and GEO, search and social advertising, programmatic and server-side tracking. It says it is a Google Premier Partner and a Microsoft Advertising Elite Partner, and it runs its own event, the otago summit. The GmbH was registered in 2014; the Firmenbuch shows Jan Königstätter and MPI Beteiligungsholding GmbH as its shareholders.
What clients say. I found no Clutch profile, so there are no usable reviews. Its case studies for IKEA and Eis-Greissler, and the clients it lists – among them Albertina, CUPRA, EVN, Wiener Städtische, Belvedere and PEZ – are the signal.
Facts: Vienna · German, English.
My take: my pick for an Austrian consumer brand or online shop that wants SEO and paid media under one roof. Best for: Austrian consumer brands and online shops that want SEO plus paid media. Not for: buyers who need English-first international SEO across many markets – its website is in German only.

4. eMagnetix
Upper Austrian search and performance agency: SEO, GEO, Google and Microsoft Ads, tracking
eMagnetix is a performance and search agency in Bad Leonfelden, north of Linz, which says it has been active for almost 20 years. It says it is a Google Premier Partner and a Microsoft Advertising Elite Partner and serves more than 200 clients in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and beyond. Services cover SEO and GEO, Google and Microsoft Ads, social ads, content and analytics. The current GmbH was registered in 2009; its shareholders are two holding companies, flyhigh GmbH and Hinterkörner Beteiligungs GmbH, whose background I did not check.
What clients say. I found no Clutch profile, so there are no usable reviews. The clients it lists – voestalpine, Rosenbauer, Hypo Oberösterreich, KEBA and LISEC – and its certified partner status with Google and Microsoft are the signal.
Facts: Bad Leonfelden (Upper Austria) · German, English.
My take: the team I would hire for SEO and paid search from one certified partner, especially for an industrial brand in Upper Austria. Best for: companies that want SEO and paid search from one certified team. Not for: buyers who need an office in Vienna or a large creative and branding unit.

5. .kloos
Vienna SEO, Google Ads and GEO agency with service in English
.kloos is a Vienna agency for SEO, PPC, GEO and LLM optimisation, analytics and content. Its website is bilingual in German and English, and it says it covers all countries and languages. The current company, .kloos digital GmbH, was registered in 2022; its shareholders are Mag. Daniel Marx and Lakshmi Holding GmbH.
What clients say. I found no Clutch profile, so there are no usable reviews. The testimonials on its website come from international B2B clients such as NAGRA Kudelski and Sixsentix, and it shows logos of companies such as Coface and RBI without saying whether they are clients.
Facts: Vienna · German, English.
My take: the Vienna agency I would brief first if my team works in English and needs SEO and PPC for several countries. Best for: international B2B companies that want a Vienna SEO and PPC team working in English. Not for: buyers who want a long track record of the legal entity, which was registered in 2022.

It offers SEO, Google Ads and online marketing consulting, with a strong footprint in Austria’s tourism regions.

I did not check who is behind that company.

Facts: founded 2010 · Pöllau (Styria) · German, English.

Quality, specialisation and what SEO agencies in Austria charge
Only three SEO agencies in Austria in this ranking show a rate, all on Clutch: $100–149 an hour for LIMESODA and PromoMasters, and $150–199 for wukonig.com, with minimum projects from $1,000 to $10,000. The others quote after a briefing or on a monthly retainer. Invoices are in euros (EUR). As a general observation, Austrian rates sit close to German ones and well above Central and Eastern Europe.
The main choice is between B2B lead-generation specialists (wukonig.com), agencies that combine SEO with web development (LIMESODA, seoCon, WESEO), search and paid-media teams with Google and Microsoft partner status (otago, eMagnetix), an English-speaking team for international B2B work (.kloos) and a regional specialist for tourism (PromoMasters).
How to choose an SEO agency in Austria
Choosing an SEO agency in Austria starts with the market you want to win:
- Austria only, or the whole DACH region – Austrian German differs from German-German in vocabulary, some spelling and search terms (Jänner for January is the textbook example), so keyword research for Google.at is not the same as for Google.de. Ask whether the agency researches and writes separately for Austria, Germany and Switzerland, and whether it uses country domains or folders.
- B2B or consumer – wukonig.com and .kloos focus on B2B leads; otago works mostly for consumer brands and shops.
- SEO with a new website – LIMESODA, seoCon and WESEO also build sites, which helps when a relaunch could cost rankings.
- Language – English is common in Austrian agencies, but most websites and reports are in German. Agree the reporting language before you sign.
- AI search – most agencies here now sell GEO for AI answers; ask how they measure it.
Also check the paperwork when you hire an SEO agency in Austria. Look up the FN number in the Firmenbuch (or on evi.gv.at) and check the UID number, which starts with ATU, in the EU’s VIES database. If your business is in another EU country and gives its own VAT number, the reverse charge usually applies and the invoice carries no Austrian VAT; for a business outside the EU, Austrian VAT is in most cases not charged on these services. Confirm with your adviser – this is not legal or tax advice. Austria is on Central European Time (CET), the same as Germany. For comparison, here is the same list for Poland, where rates are lower.

For a consumer brand that needs SEO and paid media, hire otago. For an English-speaking team working across several countries, hire .kloos.
