SEO Agency in Bilbao

Web positioning for the industry and technical B2B of Bizkaia.

Bilbao isn’t a shop-window market: it’s a market of engineering, machine tools, energy and exports. Here a single industrial client can be worth more than hundreds of loose visits, and winning the technical searches in your sector is what fills the sales pipeline. We combine SEO, data and AI so the people who actually buy find you.

Some of our clients

In Bilbao, digital competition still leaves room

Unlike Madrid or Barcelona, much of Bizkaia’s industrial and B2B fabric still doesn’t work SEO seriously. Many exporting SMEs and technical companies still depend on trade fairs, contacts and word of mouth. That’s a huge opportunity: whoever positions their specialty first —and on top of that in Basque— keeps a high value-per-client market that the competition hasn’t even started to contest.

Why do so many brands trust our agency?

Talking to other agencies? Oh… we’re sorry.

3 real reasons why we’re different from the rest.

Equipo de Palo Seco celebrando con el botón de plata de YouTube
Pedro, CEO de Palo SecoHow can we help you?
Let’s talk
  1. Always one step ahead

    1. We set the trend and innovate

    We do not do the same old marketing. We are pioneers at optimizing on platforms others do not even know are possible: we get ChatGPT to recommend our clients’ websites, we work SEO on YouTube and we automate processes with n8n that save thousands of hours a year.

  2. We live marketing… and we teach it

    2. References in Marketing, AI and UX

    We do not just apply what we know: we teach it, prove it and share it. We are educators with over 500,000 followers, Pedro and Oscar teach at universities such as UPC, EAE Business School and UPV, and we run our own academy with 2,000+ members.

  3. Partners of the leading software

    3. We work with the most TOP brands

    We are official partners of the most recognized software in the industry, such as TikTok, Elementor, Semrush and Raiola Networks. That means priority access, direct support and certified best practices: faster implementations, stronger integrations and more reliable results.

Industrial and technical B2B SEO

Here the value isn’t in volume. It’s in the right client.

In an exporting industrial sector, a single contract pays back months of investment. SEO has to bring that contract, not decorative traffic.

Steel, machine tools, engineering, energy, automotive ancillaries: these are very specific searches, with little digital competition and very high value per lead. We map the real technical demand of your niche and the purchase intent of your B2B clients, including the export markets you want to reach.

Just like with Huiike, where we went from having no website to Top 1 and 4x in sales in the first year. That same data engineering is what turns a technical company in Bizkaia’s website into a commercial channel that captures high-value clients, not a brochure nobody visits.

02

Local SEO in Bizkaia and Basque as a lever

From the Casco Viejo to Getxo, and in two languages.

The search for a business in Indautxu isn’t the same as one in Barakaldo or in Greater Bilbao, and working in Basque is an advantage almost nobody exploits.

We work local signals by area (Abando, Indautxu, Casco Viejo, Deusto, Getxo, Barakaldo and the metropolitan area), optimized Google Business Profile listings and geolocated content so you dominate your real area of influence in Bizkaia.

SEO in Basque is a differentiating lever: these are searches with very little competition and an enormous brand connection with the local audience. We can work your content in Basque and Spanish to capture demand your competition ignores completely.

03

Experience for the past, AI for the future

Fewer reports, more business.

Ten years ranking taught us that in a technical market like Bilbao, data-based execution wins, not theory.

We optimize your website so Google prioritizes you and so ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini recommend you when a purchasing manager asks about suppliers in your sector. In B2B, having AI cite you as a technical reference is worth gold.

We integrate into your business as an extension of your team and align every SEO action with your commercial and export goals. No smoke. Palo Seco.

10 reasons to do SEO in Bilbao

In an industrial and B2B market with high value per client and little digital competition, showing up in the answer —from Google or from AI— is the difference between filling the sales pipeline or depending on word of mouth.

  1. 01

    Protection against AI disintermediation

    If you don’t show up in AI’s direct answers (SGE, Perplexity, Gemini), you’re out of the market. We optimise your content so language models recommend you as the logical choice, keeping your customer flow alive in the post-click era.

  2. 02

    Deflating your CAC

    While your competitors bleed out in an endless bidding war on Google Ads or Meta, SEO builds a deflationary asset: the more time passes, the more leads it generates and the less each one costs you. The only vaccine against ad inflation.

  3. 03

    Liquid brand authority (omnichannel)

    The payoff isn’t just «position 1»: it’s that users find you on YouTube, TikTok and Google with the same message of authority. A customer who sees you on three platforms trusts you 70% faster.

  4. 04

    Capturing predictive purchase intent

    2026 SEO lets us read search trends before they turn into mass demand. You can adjust your stock or services weeks ahead of the competition, based on real intent data.

  5. 05

    Higher LTV (Lifetime Value)

    A customer who arrives via SEO tends to be better informed and more aligned with the brand than one who lands from an intrusive banner. Organic traffic has, statistically, a higher retention rate.

  6. 06

    Attribution in visual search

    With the rise of augmented reality and camera-based search, technical SEO secures your physical-digital positioning: if a customer looks for a product visually similar to yours, your brand is the answer on their screen.

  7. 07

    Assisted conversion (Zero-Click)

    Even if the user doesn’t click, reading your name as the expert answer on Google generates brand impact for free. It’s Top of Mind: when that user needs your service, they’ll search directly for «Your Brand».

  8. 08

    Independence from the social media algorithm

    Social networks are «rented land»: if the algorithm shifts, your reach dies. SEO is «land you own». Your cash flow doesn’t depend on an ephemeral-content algorithm deciding whether to show you today or not.

  9. 09

    Efficiency in the sales funnel

    By attracting ultra-qualified traffic through semantic SEO, your sales team (or AI bots) close deals faster. Less time filtering the merely curious and more time closing qualified leads.

  10. 10

    Company valuation (Asset Valuation)

    A website generating 50,000 organic visits a month has real book value in an audit. You’re building an asset you can sell or franchise, unlike ads, which vanish the moment you stop paying.

No fluff, no strings

Don’t tell us more… Have you already done SEO in Bilbao and it didn’t work?

  1. 01

    We work with measurable goals (KPIs).

    We do not hide behind 50-page reports full of vanity metrics. We set real indicators from day one: more sales, more bookings and more qualified leads. If it does not impact your bottom line, it is not real marketing.

  2. 02

    Continuous contact: we are here for whatever you need.

    Forget endless support tickets or talking to a sales rep who has no idea what happens on your site. You get fluid, constant communication with the specialists who execute your strategy, working as an extension of your own team.

  3. 03

    No lock-in: no fine print.

    We do not believe in fine print or holding clients hostage with 12-month contracts. Our best guarantee is work done well. If you stay with us, it is because you see your business grow month after month. Total freedom, absolute transparency.

FAQ

Questions about SEO in Bilbao? We answer them.

We’re here to answer them. And if any remain, let’s talk.

Talk to an expert
1. Does SEO work for an industrial or B2B company in Bilbao?

It works especially well. Bizkaia’s fabric —steel, machine tools, engineering, energy, automotive ancillaries— drives very technical, specific searches, with little digital competition and a very high value per client. A single industrial contract can pay back months of investment. The key isn’t the volume of visits, but positioning your website for the concrete queries your B2B clients and export markets make.

2. Is it easier to rank in Bilbao than in Madrid or Barcelona?

In many sectors, yes. A large part of the Basque Country’s industrial and technical SMEs still don’t work SEO seriously and keep depending on trade fairs and word of mouth. That leaves a huge gap: organic competition is much lower than in Madrid or Barcelona, so whoever positions their specialty first keeps a very profitable market before the rest react.

3. Do you work SEO in Basque?

Yes, and we recommend it as a differentiating lever. Searches in Basque have very little competition and generate a very strong brand connection with Bizkaia’s local audience. We can work your content in Basque and Spanish in a coordinated way, without cannibalizing, to capture local demand almost no company is optimizing well.

4. Do you do local SEO by areas of Bilbao and its metropolitan area?

Yes. For businesses with a physical presence we work local SEO by area (Abando, Indautxu, Casco Viejo, Deusto, and the metropolitan area like Getxo, Barakaldo or Greater Bilbao), because search intent changes a lot from one neighborhood to another. We optimize your Google Business Profile listing, manage reviews and create geolocated content so you dominate your real area of influence.

5. Do I need an agency with an office in Bilbao to rank in Bizkaia?

No. A local address and a verified Google Business Profile listing help local SEO, but your agency doesn’t need to be physically in Bilbao. We’re a remote team based in Barcelona and we run projects in the Basque Country with direct, constant communication. What makes the difference isn’t where the agency is, but that the strategy understands the Basque market —industrial, exporting and bilingual— and is executed with data.

6. Does AI SEO (ChatGPT, Gemini) work in a B2B market like Bilbao?

Yes, and in B2B it’s even more valuable. More and more purchasing managers and technicians ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini directly «which are the best suppliers of X in Bizkaia or the Basque Country?». We optimize your assets so AI cites you as a technical reference in your sector, a space almost no industrial company is working yet. Whoever gets there first takes the recommendation.
