German marketing & websites

German marketing and websites for a market that rewards precision

German buyers, particularly in B2B and technical sectors, read carefully and compare thoroughly. We produce German websites and campaigns with native speakers who can handle specialist subject matter, not generalist translation.

  • German SEO and paid search
  • Layouts tested against long German copy
  • Germany, Austria and Switzerland

Language

Why German needs more than translation

German is unforgiving of approximate content. In technical and industrial categories, vague or awkwardly translated product copy costs credibility immediately, and specification detail matters more than persuasion.

The practical issues are consistent: compound words that overflow navigation and buttons, formal versus informal address decided once and applied everywhere, and search terms that rarely match the direct translation of the English keyword.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Can you handle technical German copy?

Yes. We use different German speakers depending on subject matter, working from your terminology rather than generalist translation.

Does German content need different page design?

Often. German compounds run long and break navigation, buttons and headings designed around English word lengths. We check templates against real German strings.

Do you cover Austria and Switzerland too?

Where the commercial case supports it. Terminology, pricing and expectations differ enough that we treat them as separate markets when budget allows.
