Target group analysis agency

Not just a gut feeling. But data-based, based on sales psychology and measurably effective. Most target group analyses start with workshops, interviews, CRM data or Google Analytics. The problem with this is that you only look at the people you already know. This inevitably results in a limited view of the market. Most target group analyses end with demographic characteristics. Ours only begin there.

By combining millions of real market data and TÜV-certified sales psychology, we recognise which target groups have the greatest sales potential, which buying motives influence decisions and which marketing measures are proven to have the greatest effect. The result: less wastage, higher conversion rates and more sales from every marketing euro spent.

Most marketing problems start before the campaign

Many companies invest large budgets in SEO, GEO, SEA, social media or content marketing year after year - and still struggle with the same problems: The wrong people click on adverts. Content achieves reach, but no enquiries. Campaigns generate leads that don't buy. Marketing budgets increase while the actual business success falls short of expectations.

If the foundation is missing, the entire marketing suffers

The problem often does not lie in the campaigns themselves. It starts much earlier. If target groups are misjudged, wrong decisions are made along the entire customer journey. Adverts are shown to the wrong people. Content answers the wrong questions. Sales teams argue past the actual needs.

The result is declining marketing efficiency, unnecessary wastage and missed growth opportunities. Many companies try to solve these problems with higher budgets, additional campaigns or more content. It is often not the activity that is lacking, but the right basis for decision-making. And this is exactly where we come in.

We not only know your customers, but your entire market!

With your own data you can only see a section.

That is why we are expanding the database to include millions of external market data. So that assumptions become reliable decisions and invested marketing budgets become measurable impact.

With external market data:

✅ Faster validation of hypotheses
✅ Maximum impact per marketing euro
✅ Clear scalability of successful measures
✅ More precise target group models
✅ Higher conversion rates
✅ Better campaign management

Without external market data:

❌ Target groups flying blind
❌ Assumptions instead of facts
❌ Scatter loss in marketing
❌ Expensive misjudgements
❌ Scaling without a reliable basis

Most target group analyses end with personas. Ours only begin there. Recognising sales potential is the real achievement.

Over 7 million

anonymised brand and theme structures

So that we not only understand your customers, but your entire market. We recognise which topics, needs and buying motives move entire markets - not just the people who are already customers.

Over 3.3 million

Daily updated data points and connections

So that decisions are based on current market signals instead of assumptions. Not on outdated assumptions or historical customer data.

Just under 120,000

Calculated target groups

So that hidden potential becomes visible before competitors discover it. We can segment target groups much more precisely and identify hidden sales potential that often remains undiscovered in traditional analyses.

Over 70,000

Target group characteristics for analysis and activation

So that marketing does not scatter more widely, but hits more precisely. The target group characteristics create highly granular target group models that make marketing messages, campaigns and content significantly more efficient.

TÜV-certified sales psychology meets market data

After all, successful marketing strategies are not created by demographic data alone, but by understanding purchasing decisions. Data shows us which people buy. Sales psychology shows us why they buy. Only the combination of both reveals which messages are convincing, which objections prevent purchasing decisions and which measures have the greatest sales leverage.

A good target group analysis agency thinks holistically

for SEO

SEO only works sustainably if content matches the search intent of the target group exactly. Our target group analyses identify relevant search needs, questions, objections and information gaps, allowing us to create content that not only achieves rankings but also meets actual demand.

Specific areas of application:

  1. Keyword strategy
  2. Understanding search intentions
  3. Developing content hubs
  4. Topic prioritisation
  5. Conversion-orientated SEO landing pages
for GEO (AI Search)

Google, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity are answering increasingly complex user questions directly. As a result, topic authority, contextual depth and user understanding are becoming much more important. Our target group analyses show which questions users ask along their customer journey and which information AI systems prefer to cite.

Concrete areas of application:

  1. GEO content strategies
  2. Entity structure
  3. Topic clusters
  4. AI-optimised FAQ structures
  5. Visibility in AI overviews and LLM answers
for SEA

In search engine advertising, the target group directly determines the profitability of campaigns. The more precisely the target group is understood, the more efficiently budgets can be utilised.

Specific areas of application:

  1. Meta Ads targeting
  2. Google Ads target group segments
  3. Campaign structuring
  4. Ad texts according to buying motives
  5. Landing page matching
  6. Reduction of wastage
for social media

Social media will often fail not because of a lack of reach, but because of a lack of relevance. If you know the motives, interests and triggers of your target group, you can develop content that is clicked, shared and saved much more frequently.

Concrete areas of application:

  1. Content strategies
  2. Reel and video concepts
  3. Community development
  4. Influencer selection
  5. Creative briefings
  6. Performance Creatives
for newsletter

Successful newsletters are based on relevance. Our target group analyses help to tailor content, subject lines and offers precisely to different target group segments.

Specific areas of application:

  1. Segmentation
  2. Subject line optimisation
  3. Offer logic
  4. Automations
  5. Lead nurturing
  6. Reactivation of inactive contacts
for distribution

Successful sales begins long before the first conversation. If you understand the buying motives, objections and decision-making processes of your target group, you can conduct more targeted conversations, build trust more quickly and make deals more likely.

Specific areas of application:

  • Sales argumentation
  • Objection handling
  • Lead qualification
  • Conversation guidelines
  • Offer optimisation
  • Sales automation
  • Prioritisation of target groups
  • Cross- & upselling potential
  • Sales documents
  • Closing rate optimisation

Advantages of a sales psychology perspective for your target group analyses

While data makes patterns visible, sales psychology explains the causes behind them. As a result, we not only understand who your target group is, but also what convinces people, builds trust and ultimately leads to a purchase. Many agencies analyse data. We understand decisions. This is often the difference between profitable marketing and advertising budgets that fizzle out due to incorrect assumptions.

The right questions also provide the right answers:

  • Many agencies only answer the question: "Who is the target group?", we also answer: "Why does this target group choose a provider?"
  • Many agencies only answer: "How old is the target group?", we also answer: "What problems does it want to solve?"
  • Many agencies only answer: "Where does the target group live?", wealso answer: "In which situations do they become willing to buy?"
  • Many agencies only answer: "Which channels does the target group use?", we also answer: "Which messages work on these channels?"
  • Many agencies only answer: "What content does the target group consume?", we also answer: "What content actually leads to purchase decisions?"
Benjamin Scheffel

More data. Less conjecture.

Marketing becomes expensive when decisions are based on assumptions. That's why we replace assumptions with real market data, market structures and buying motives. This creates the basis for more precise target group models, better campaigns and more impact per marketing euro invested. Would you like that too? Then we look forward to getting to know you in a non-binding initial consultation.

Good target group analysis vs. poor target group analysis

Costs of a target group analysis by an agency

The costs of a target group analysis depend heavily on the database used. Many traditional agencies mainly work with workshops at horrendous hourly or daily rates, interviews or existing customer data. If additional market data is required, this often has to be purchased separately. Depending on the scope, this can result in considerable additional costs.

With us, the database is already part of the analysis. The integration of external market data, target group characteristics and market structures is not an optional feature for us, but part of our standard and the foundation for targeted marketing. This gives you significantly deeper insights without having to calculate additional costs for the purchase of external data sets.
