This is Studio Erlach

Studio Erlach is a marketing agency from Salzburg. We build businesses a channel that brings in new customers every month.

The question

Why do others get found first, even though you’re better?

Google and ChatGPT recommend the businesses they understand and that other people talk about. The quality of your work has little to do with it.

Anyone searching today gets two or three names. If you are missing from that list, nobody gets in touch, however good you are.

A new website here and a few ads there barely change that. What it takes is a system that connects the right steps in the right order. That is exactly what Found First is.

How it should be

Shouldn’t winning customers work like this?

New enquiries every month

A channel you can count on, even when nobody happens to be recommending you.

Less effort per enquiry

Enquiries arrive sorted, the reply goes out by itself, and meetings book themselves.

The right customers

Fewer bargain hunters, more enquiries from people who suit you and are happy to pay.

The first choice, not one of many

Whoever gets named first gets called first. And never has to win on price.

Your question isn’t here? Message me directly and I’ll answer you myself.

What does Found First cost?
A fixed price that you know before we start. You start with a fraction of it. You pay the rest only once the enquiries are there, the ones we guarantee you in writing: enough that the new customers they bring are worth more than Found First costs. We work out how many that is for your market before we start. The exact amounts are on the Found First page.
What if the number isn’t reached?
Then you only pay for the setup. Never the rest. It says so in the contract, before we begin.
How soon do the first enquiries come in?
Found First runs for 90 days. You often see noticeably more enquiries after 45 days. It takes the full 90 for everything to run smoothly.
What counts as an enquiry?
Anything a customer does to take the first step towards you: a call, a form, an email, a booked appointment, a booking or a purchase in your shop. We count every one of them and see where it came from.
How do you get recommended by ChatGPT?
ChatGPT has to understand you, and other people have to talk about you. There are ads in ChatGPT now too, but you can’t buy a recommendation: ChatGPT names whoever it thinks gives the best answer. That is what we work on, with clear content on your site, mentions on other sites and real reviews. You measure it by what counts: the enquiries that come in through it.
What do SEO & GEO mean?
SEO means search engine optimisation: we make sure new customers find you on Google, in search and in Google Maps. GEO means Generative Engine Optimization: the same for AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI answers. We do both together, because most of it is the same work. More on the SEO and AI visibility pages.
How much work is it for me?
Mostly in the first three weeks: a few conversations so we really understand what you offer. After that, most of it runs without you, and you get the numbers every month.
I already have a website. Does it need replacing?
We decide that in the diagnosis: we check what can stay and what is missing. Often we build on what is already there. Sometimes starting fresh is the faster way, and then we tell you so openly.
What happens after the 90 days?
The system belongs to you: content, data, domain, everything. There is no lock-in. If you want to keep growing, you can carry on with us, but you don’t have to.
Is all of this GDPR compliant?
Yes. We build to GDPR: fonts that load without a detour through third-party servers, analytics that don’t track visitors, cookies only where they are needed. We set up your legal notice and privacy policy for you; have a lawyer check them, because we are an agency, not a law firm.
Do you only work in Salzburg?
We work with businesses all over Austria, Germany and Switzerland, and in English beyond that too. Most projects run over video calls, and you are welcome to meet us in Salzburg any time. Everything about web design in Salzburg is on its own page.
Tobias Erlach or Erlacher?
Tobias Erlach, without the “er” at the end. People often write or search for the name as Tobias Erlacher. If that is what you searched for: you are in the right place.
