Visibility is changing.
We build what’s coming.

AI is shifting how people search and decide. Becoming the first answer in this world takes a system that understands Google and AI at the same time. We’ve been working on that since 2018.

THE STORY

An agency born from its own projects.

Trustfactory wasn’t founded because four consultants wanted to open an agency. It was founded because four marketers led their own projects to success, then turned that into a repeatable system.

Before

Four affiliate pros, four specializations.

Alex rises to the “backlink king” of the German SEO scene through his link building. Cornelius is regarded as an on-page strategist with a portfolio of successful affiliate projects. Max and Nikita run their own affiliate projects and their full-service SEO agency Seolusion. Four specializations on separate paths, not yet under one roof.

2018

Four strengths become one system.

Together the four launch a professional link marketplace under the Trustfactory brand, with over 2,000 registrations in no time. Marketplace and full-service agency merge under one name: from backlinks (Alex), on-page (Cornelius), systematics (Max) and scaling (Nikita) a data-driven SEO agency emerges, built on the same methods that previously brought their own projects to the top.

Today

One group, one location, one system.

The agency has become a corporate group that sits together centrally at one location in Mannheim. Over 300 clients from 200+ industries, Germany’s first SEO documentary, holistic success on Google from a single source. But the DNA has stayed the same: makers who build what works.

SPOTLIGHT

Two entrepreneurs at the pulse of the times.

Nikita and Max are serial founders with their own companies, in which they test, scale and rethink marketing every day. What works today on Google and in AI answers, they know from their own practice, not second-hand.

WHAT DRIVES US

Nine principles we work by.

No mission statement for the shop window. These principles decide how we approach projects, make decisions and treat each other. Every day.

Create market leaders

We don't stop at position 3. The goal is the top, on Google and in AI answers, in every industry we work with.

Success with joy

Good work happens where people enjoy working together. For us, success and joy are no contradiction.

Exchange at the workplace in the Trustfactory office

Be warm to each other

Respect, openness and honest interaction, internally just as with our clients.

Keep growing

Standing still is going backwards. We continuously develop ourselves, our methods and our clients.

Less is sometimes more

Focus beats busywork. We do the things that really work and leave out the rest.

Always results-driven

Rankings are nice, revenue is better. We measure ourselves by what reaches your bottom line.

The Trustfactory team in conversation

Always data-driven

We make decisions based on data and tests, not on gut feeling.

Maximum transparency

You always know what we're working on, what it brings and where your budget flows.

Always up to date

Google and AI change constantly. We stay on the pulse, and so do you.

THE LOCATION

Our office in the heart of Mannheim.

On over 500 m² on site in Mannheim and with a small remote team spread across Germany, we make sure our clients become market leaders on Google.

We’re there around the clock: by phone, email or on site. Every client gets a personal point of contact from the Trustfactory family.

To win the race for the top spots on Google, you don’t just have to be up to date, you literally have to live in the future. That is exactly what we do, which is why we rely on modernity.

Thanks to a modern, well air-conditioned and minimally furnished office, combined with the best technical equipment, comfortable ergonomic chairs and height-adjustable desks, we can work together as a team in high focus to make the difference and build one market leader after another.
