We take over your website and make it visible
Last updated: July 23, 2026
For restaurants, medical practices and other local businesses: we take over the domain, hosting and maintenance of your existing website, audit the technology and help people find you on Google. You get one personal contact in Hamburg and a clear monthly report. Your domain remains your property.
Plain language: We work with common systems such as WordPress, website builders and static sites. We check whether your website can be taken over before you commission anything and give you an honest answer in the initial consultation.
Sound familiar?
- Someone built the website years ago and is no longer available. Login details are scattered and nobody feels safe changing anything.
- Opening hours, the menu or consultation hours are out of date, and the website says something different from Google.
- The site loads slowly on mobile or looks broken. People searching for you land on portals and directories before they reach you.
- Every small change costs agency hours or takes weeks, so nothing gets updated.
What happens when routinefrei takes over a website?
You give us access to the domain, hosting and website. We organize and secure everything, run a technical audit and fix the most important issues: load time, mobile display, SEO fundamentals and your Google Business Profile. We then maintain the site and send a short monthly report with visitor data and the next practical steps.
Two Hamburg businesses show what that means in practice. For Levant Hamburg we run the website, cookie-free visitor analytics and reservation enquiries. For AlsterSURFER we rebuilt the website while keeping the proven booking journey intact. We describe what was built without publishing confidential business figures.
For context, delivery portals charge restaurants commissions of 13 to 30 percent per order, while industry data indicates that roughly 90 percent of German hospitality businesses are still at the beginning of their digital processes. A well-maintained website can be found without paying for every guest.
What is included
Domain and hosting takeover
We collect access details, organize contracts and move services where necessary. Everything is documented, and the domain stays registered in your name.
Technical audit
Load time, mobile display, broken links, security fundamentals and privacy basics. You receive the findings in clear language.
SEO fundamentals
Clean page titles and descriptions, a clear structure and the search terms people in your city actually use.
Google Business Profile
Opening hours, photos and business information stay consistent. The profile is maintained for local search and Google Maps.
Ongoing maintenance
Updates, security, backups and small text or image changes, such as a new menu, changed consultation hours or a holiday notice.
Monthly report
Cookie-free visitor data, changes made during the month and one concrete recommendation for the next step, on a single understandable page.
How the takeover works
- Analysis: In the free initial consultation we clarify what you have and what you need. We then review access details and contracts and run the technical audit.
- Setup: We take over the domain, hosting and website, resolve the most important audit findings and bring the Google Business Profile up to date.
- Support: Website maintenance keeps the site current and secure. You send changes informally by email and receive the report every month.
Who is this for?
Restaurants and cafés
Keep the menu, opening hours and reservations current in one place and maintain the Google profile, so guests reach you directly instead of a commission portal. More on AI automation for hospitality.
Medical and therapy practices
Current consultation hours, services and directions answer questions before anyone calls. More on AI automation for medical practices.
We also take over websites for skilled trades, law and tax firms and other local businesses. The key requirement is simply that a website exists and needs reliable maintenance.
How much does website takeover cost?
Entry starts at €290 as a one-off fee for takeover, technical audit and basic optimization. Website maintenance from €25.99 per month then keeps the site current and secure and can be cancelled monthly. If the existing site cannot reasonably be saved, the Digital Foundation premium bundle starts at €3,900. All prices are net plus VAT. See prices and packages.
If the inbox also needs order: email automation and time management are included in the €990 package.
Frequently asked questions about website takeover
Who owns the domain when routinefrei manages it?
You do, and that does not change. The domain stays registered in your name and we only manage it technically. If the collaboration ends, we hand back access details, documentation and the website in an orderly way.
Can you take over website-builder sites such as Wix or Jimdo?
In most cases, yes. We work with WordPress, common website builders and static sites. We assess custom systems and unusual setups before you commission anything.
How quickly will visibility on Google improve?
Technical improvements such as load time and mobile display take effect immediately. Ranking changes usually take weeks or months. We do not promise positions; the monthly report shows transparently how visitor numbers and visibility develop.
What is included in the monthly report?
One page with cookie-free visitor data, the changes made that month, the status of your Google Business Profile and one concrete recommendation for the next step. It is written in plain language.
Do we have to cancel our current host or agency immediately?
No. We first review contracts and access details and explain what is worth changing. Often the existing hosting can stay in place while we only take over maintenance.
