SEO and web design in Amsterdam **for Irish companies**
Ireland is a small home market, so growth usually means mainland Europe — and the Netherlands is the easiest first step. I make you visible here in Dutch search and in AI answers, and build the site that converts Dutch visitors.
- Dutch SEO, GEO, web design and CRO
- Both inside the EU: simple invoicing, one hour apart
- You deal with me, nothing outsourced
The Netherlands as your first step into mainland Europe
Irish companies often reach the ceiling of their home market long before their product is done growing. The Netherlands is a natural next step: seventeen million buyers, one of the highest online spend rates in Europe, both countries in the EU, and a business culture that is comfortable working in English with you while expecting Dutch on the customer-facing side.
The catch is the same as everywhere: Dutch buyers search in Dutch, compare on Dutch sites and expect Dutch payment and delivery conventions. An English site with a translated layer does not get there.
I build the Dutch side end to end — search, AI visibility, design, copy and conversion — while everything on your side stays in English.

Why the Dutch market needs a Dutch specialist
The Netherlands looks like an easy market from the outside: almost everybody speaks English, e-commerce is mature and buying power is high. That is exactly why translated websites underperform here. Dutch buyers switch to Dutch when they search, they compare on different sites, and they expect iDEAL at checkout, clear delivery promises and a Dutch phone number or address before they trust an unknown brand.
Search behaviour is different too. The Dutch phrase is rarely a literal translation of the English one, so keyword research has to be done from scratch in Dutch. The same is true for AI answers: when someone asks ChatGPT or Gemini for a supplier in the Netherlands, the sources it quotes are Dutch pages, Dutch reviews and Dutch directories.
I have worked in marketing since 2005 and I am based in Amsterdam. I write the Dutch copy, do the Dutch keyword and AI research, fix the technical side including hreflang and country versions, and improve the conversion rate once the traffic arrives.
How working with an Amsterdam specialist actually works
- 01
English with me, Dutch for your customers
Every call, report and document is in English. Everything your customers read is written in Dutch by a native speaker — not translated.
- 02
One hour apart at most
Amsterdam is CET. That is one hour ahead of the UK and Ireland, so we share almost the entire working day.
- 03
Video calls, not flights
We meet online every month. If you want to meet in person in Amsterdam, that is possible too.
- 04
Monthly reporting in English
Rankings, AI visibility, traffic and conversions — with a short written explanation of what I did and what is next.
- 05
Priced in euros
Retainers from €400 per month, project work quoted upfront. No setup fees, no long lock-in.
- 06
You deal with me
Not with an intern or a junior marketer. Many agencies outsource this work — here you get the specialist who does it.
A senior specialist without opening a Dutch office
You get someone inside the market you are entering, working directly with your team in English.

Questions from Irish companies
How does VAT work between Ireland and the Netherlands?
Both are EU countries, so with a valid Irish VAT number I invoice under the reverse-charge mechanism: no Dutch VAT on the invoice, you account for it in Ireland.
Should we start with the Netherlands or with Germany?
The Netherlands is usually the cheaper test: high English proficiency, mature e-commerce and less search competition than Germany. What works here scales to Belgium and then Germany.
Do you work in English?
Yes. All communication, strategy documents and monthly reports are in English. The content your Dutch customers read is written in Dutch, by me, from scratch.
Do we need a Dutch company or address?
Not to be found online. It does help with trust: a Dutch address and phone number lift conversion noticeably. I can point you to a registered business address and a workspace in Amsterdam if you want one.
Can we keep our existing website?
Usually yes. We add a properly configured Dutch version with correct hreflang and canonical settings so Google does not confuse the language versions, and I rewrite the copy for the Dutch market.
How long before we see results?
For a new Dutch presence, expect three to six months before positions become structural, depending on competition in your sector. I tell you upfront what is realistic instead of promising a timeline I cannot control.
