SEO & GEO Coaching.

You implement SEO and AI visibility yourself and want to do it better, faster and with fewer doubts. I build a learning plan with you, teach you what you need and give feedback on what you make of it.

What it is about.

Tutorials rarely fit your own website, and an audit tells you what to do but not how to learn to do it yourself. With GEO in particular there is little reliable knowledge and a lot of noise.

In coaching we work on your real pages, data and tasks. I teach you method and context, you practise on your own material and I review the result. In the end you can do it alone and know when to ask for help.

What we work on.

  • Research and topics

    Find keywords, topics and search intent with Search Console and SISTRIX and turn them into a plan.

  • Content for Google and AI

    Build pages so they rank and can be named in AI answers.

  • Technical basics

    Spot and prioritise crawling, indexing and site structure issues without being a developer.

  • Measuring AI visibility

    Check how your brand appears in ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews and what can be measured.

  • Steering agencies and briefs

    Assess proposals, write good briefs and judge results.

  • Working with AI tools

    Speed up processes with AI without losing quality or factual accuracy.

Who coaching is for.

  • In-house SEOs

    You own SEO in the company and want more method, pace and confidence in your work.

  • Marketing leads

    You steer agencies or teams and want to understand SEO and GEO well enough to make good decisions and judge results.

  • Editorial and content

    You write or plan content and want to make it findable and citable for Google and AI answers.

  • Shop and product owners

    You own categories, product pages and visibility and want to operate the key levers yourself.

  • Solo self-employed and freelancers

    You do everything yourself and want to get SEO and GEO for your own offer under control without an agency.

  • Founders

    You want to understand SEO before you hire the first agency or spend the first budget.

Three formats.

Every coaching has a learning plan, fixed appointments and a fixed end. We decide which duration fits in the free call.

Sparring or coaching?

Both are personal and remote, but they solve different tasks. The question is: do you need an assessment or a skill?

Who you learn with.

Martin Kaltwasser

Coaching is personal. That is why you should know who is sitting across from you.

I have been in digital marketing since 2008, was managing director digital at EAT SMARTER, founder of PRYNTAD and most recently VP Global Marketing and CMO at TrustYou. I have built, led and trained teams and know why learning on the job fails: time, priorities and examples that do not fit.

At the same time I work hands-on in SEO and GEO every day, for brands such as Engel & Völkers, Savencia and PropertyPilot. What I teach you, I use myself.

More about meAll facts about me

What clients say.

Jan-Philipp Kötting
CEO & Co-Founder, PropertyPilot GmbH
Working together since 2026

In the ongoing development of our brand and performance marketing strategy, Martin is a difference-maker. He brings key impulses to the table and helps us find our focus again and again.

Marco Barooah-Siebertz
Managing Director, Superblau GmbH
Working together 2024–2026

Working with Martin is simply fun, even if there's a bit of friction now and then. That's exactly his strength: He uses friction to improve ideas and doesn't stop until the result is spot on.

Uli Weißgerber
CEO Promipool GmbH
Working together 2018–2026

Martin really dives into the matter and brings honest know-how without putting his ego in the foreground. This combination of professional depth and humanity creates the best foundation for achieving joint goals.

What you can rely on.

  • Your material, no standard course

    The learning plan and examples come from your website, your data and your market. Pace and depth follow your prior knowledge.

  • Honest feedback

    I tell you what is good and what does not hold up, even when it is uncomfortable.

  • A fixed end

    You learn so that you no longer need me. In the end you know what you can do alone and when outside help makes sense.

  • Independent and confidential

    I do not sell tools and take no commission from agencies. What we discuss stays between us.

What coaching is not.

  • No implementation for you. That is what audits and consulting are for.
  • No video course and no standard training. For teams there are workshops.
  • No ranking guarantee. Nobody can seriously promise that for Google or AI.
  • No GEO hype. GEO builds on solid SEO and does not replace it.

How it works.

  1. Intro call

    30 minutes, free of charge. We clarify your goal, your prior knowledge and the right pace.

    Result: The right format

  2. Assessment

    I look at your website and tasks and build a learning plan with 3 to 5 focus areas.

    Result: Learning plan

  3. Coaching sessions

    A fixed session every 2 weeks. A small task on your material beforehand, context and feedback in the session.

    Result: New skills

  4. Questions in between

    When something gets stuck, you write to me. I reply within 2 working days.

    Result: No blockers

  5. Wrap-up

    We look back: what can you do alone now, what remains open and what are the next steps?

    Result: A clear picture

Frequently asked questions.

What is the difference between coaching and sparring?

In sparring you decide and I think it through with you: you get an assessment, a priority or a second opinion. In coaching you learn to do it yourself, with a learning plan, homework and feedback over several months. If you first want one question settled, sparring is right. If you want to do SEO and GEO yourself from now on, coaching is.

How is knowledge conveyed?

Practically and on your own material. Before each session there is a small task, in the session we put things in context, practise and discuss results, and afterwards you receive feedback and next steps in writing.

What does a coaching session look like?

A video call with screen sharing, usually 60 to 90 minutes, every two weeks. We work on your own pages and data: you show what you have prepared, I put it in context, we practise the next step, and afterwards you receive feedback and the next tasks in writing.

Do I need prior knowledge?

No. The learning plan follows where you stand, whether beginner or experienced practitioner with specific gaps. We clarify that in the intro call.

How much time do I need between sessions?

As a rule of thumb 1 to 2 hours a week for the tasks. If you have less time, we choose fewer focus areas so you stay on track.

Can my team take part?

Yes, up to 4 people in team coaching. We then work with a shared learning plan on your pages and goals. For larger groups workshops are a better fit.

How much does the coaching cost?

The coaching starter over 3 months costs €4,500 net, the coaching programme over 6 months €9,000 net. Team coaching depends on scope and duration. All prices plus 19% German VAT where applicable.

Remote or on site?

Coaching takes place by video. Sessions on site in Hamburg are possible on request.

What happens after the coaching?

You do SEO and GEO yourself. If you have a question later you book a sparring single session, and if you need implementation we look at a project.
