SEO agency Leiden
Looking for an SEO agency in Leiden that works in English as well as Dutch? Stijgt is based in Noordwijkerhout, just north of the city, and helps Leiden businesses get found by the customers who matter to them, measured in enquiries and sales rather than rankings alone.
Leiden
Marketing in a knowledge city
Leiden runs on knowledge. It has the oldest university in the Netherlands, the LUMC teaching hospital and the Leiden Bio Science Park, home to more than 215 organisations and around 19,000 jobs. Around that sits a historic city centre that works as the shopping and service hub for the whole region, with museums such as Naturalis drawing visitors from far beyond it.
That mix gives Leiden an unusually critical, well-informed audience. Researchers, buyers and residents compare before they get in touch, and they do that comparing online, often in English. If your business does not show up when they search, it barely exists for a large part of the city.
We are close enough to drop by for a coffee, and we know the region. What we bring is the search side: the right pages for the right searches, technically sound, and measured so you can see what each euro does.
Where SEO in Leiden makes the difference
- Separate Dutch and English pages, each targeting how that audience actually searches
- Hreflang and site structure that show Google which language version to rank
- B2B pages for suppliers and service providers around the Bio Science Park
- Local visibility in Google Maps for shops, practices and hospitality in the centre
- Google Ads alongside SEO when you need enquiries this month, not next quarter
- Visibility in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews with GEO

How we work
The Stijgt Method
No loose actions, but one coherent approach tailored to your market and goals. The Stijgt Method takes your online marketing through four clear phases, from baseline to lasting, measurable growth.
- Phase 1
Introduction & goals
We get to know your organisation, market and ambitions. Together we decide which strategy and channels fit best. This conversation can be online or on site.
- Phase 2
Baseline, data analysis & strategy
We record a baseline so growth can be proven later. We analyse technology, competition and opportunities, and turn that into a focused strategy.
- Phase 3
AI-driven execution
We carry out the strategy and speed up the work with AI, from research to content and ads. A strategist checks and validates every step.
- Phase 4
Monthly optimisation & reporting
We measure the impact continuously, scale what works and adjust where needed. Every month you receive a clear report that we go through together online.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about working with us in Leiden
Do you work in English?
Yes. We work with clients in Dutch and in English, and we write and optimise pages in both languages. Many Leiden businesses need both: Dutch for local customers and English for international staff, researchers and partners.
Should my website have an English version for customers in Leiden?
That depends on who buys from you. If part of your customers or partners are internationals, an English version helps, but only if it is built for how they search. A literal translation of your Dutch pages rarely ranks. We first check the search volume in both languages before we advise you to build anything.
Are you based in Leiden?
No, our office is in Noordwijkerhout, a short drive north of Leiden. We are happy to meet you in Leiden or at our office, and most of the day-to-day work can be done online.
How quickly will I see results from SEO in Leiden?
With SEO you usually see the first movement after four to six weeks, and that growth keeps building. Google Ads can bring enquiries within one to two weeks. Because we start with a baseline measurement, every step is measurable.
What does an SEO agency in Leiden cost?
It depends on your market, your competitors and your ambition. You get an honest estimate during a free intro call, and our agreements can be cancelled monthly.
