What We Don't Do (And Why)

We believe in transparency. Here's what you won't find in our Local SEO approach.

Black-hat or gray-hat tactics

We only use white-hat methods that build long-term value. No PBN links, keyword stuffing, or cloaking — ever.

Guaranteed #1 rankings

No ethical agency can guarantee specific positions. We guarantee a proven methodology, transparent reporting, and consistent effort.

One-size-fits-all templates

Every Barcelona business is unique. We build custom strategies from scratch rather than applying generic playbooks.

Vanity metrics without business impact

We focus on metrics that matter — traffic, leads, revenue — not just rankings that look good in reports.
