/THE CHALLENGE

Almost entirely dependent on paid ads

Your Dutch Home specializes in helping expats find property in Amsterdam — a market with very specific, high-intent search queries. But their website wasn't ranking for any of them. With only 890 organic visitors per month, nearly all leads came through paid ads at €340 each. The site had no coverage of Amsterdam's individual neighborhoods, no pages for specific property types, and no Dutch-language content for local searches.

/THE SOLUTION

43 pages targeting the right searches

Every relevant neighborhood, property type and expat-specific search query mapped, then a system built to create and publish optimized pages for each.

Neighborhood Coverage

Identified every Amsterdam district where expats search for property. Created dedicated, optimized pages for each — De Pijp, Jordaan, Oud-West, IJburg and 15 other areas.

Bilingual Content

All pages published in both English and Dutch — targeting English-speaking expat searches as well as Dutch queries that expats use after longer stays.

Intent-Matched Pages

Beyond neighborhoods: pages targeting specific buyer situations — relocating expats, 30% ruling, mortgage for non-residents, and property types common in the expat market.
