Strong technical expertise — but almost no digital visibility

IBEP is an established engineering consultancy for energy technology and planning in Fritzlar, Northern Hesse. Years of project experience, specialist expertise and satisfied clients. Digitally, however, the company was barely visible.

The old website was outdated, slow and not optimised for mobile. IBEP had little visibility for relevant Google searches and was not being surfaced in AI answers for energy consulting in the region.

New enquiries came almost entirely through referrals. A reliable digital acquisition channel was missing.

Before
  • Outdated website, not mobile optimised
  • Single-digit PageSpeed score
  • Little Google visibility for relevant keywords
  • AI systems did not surface IBEP
  • Leads came mainly through referrals
  • No structured digital channel
After
  • New website: fast, modern and GEO-ready
  • PageSpeed 100 desktop · 96 mobile
  • Visible in Google for local keywords
  • Visible in ChatGPT, Gemini and Google
  • First organic lead seven days after launch
  • A working digital enquiry channel
