Clear ideas to grow your business

Marketing, SEO, software and artificial intelligence in plain language, with things you can apply tomorrow. No posturing, no fancy words.

Blog

We're writing the first article

Very soon we'll fill this with useful ideas on marketing, SEO and AI. Come back in a few days, or write to us if there's something you'd like us to cover.

What this blog is about

Here we'll write about what we know and what we see every day working with businesses in Girona and Barcelona: digital marketing that brings clients, Google rankings, custom software, automation and artificial intelligence applied to real companies. No textbook theory, no fancy words; things you can understand and, above all, apply.

We write to be useful, not to fill space

There's a lot of blogging out there that seems written to trick Google rather than help the reader. We do it the other way round: every article will try to answer a real question our clients ask, or solve a concrete problem we've seen many times. If a topic adds nothing, we won't write it just to fill space. We'd rather publish less and make each piece worth it.

While the first article is on its way, one tip worth gold

If you can only do one thing today to get found more, it's this: look after your Google listing (the business profile that shows up with the map). Fill it in completely, upload good photos, set the right opening hours, choose the categories well and ask your best clients for reviews. It's free, it takes a while and it's one of the fastest ways to move the needle on local searches like «your service + near me». Many people spend money on ads before getting this right, and that's putting the cart before the horse. Once that foundation is solid, then it does make sense to invest in SEO, in advertising or in a website that converts better.

FAQ

Questions about the blog

How often will you publish?+

No rush, but no pause either. We'd rather publish when we have something that genuinely adds value than force an empty weekly article. The idea is that each piece can still be read a year from now and remain useful.

What topics will you write about?+

Digital marketing, SEO, custom software, automation and artificial intelligence, always from the point of view of a local business that wants to grow. If it's useful for a freelancer or small firm in Girona or Barcelona, we're interested.

Can I suggest a topic?+

Of course, and we love it. If you have a question you think others share, write to us and it'll probably become an article. Many of the best ideas come from real client questions.

Is this content for marketing experts?+

No. We write for business owners and managers who don't necessarily know about this. We explain things in plain language and, when we use a technical term, we clarify it. If something is understood, it gets used.

Are you a digital marketing agency in Barcelona or in Girona?+

Both. The office is in Palamós, on the Costa Brava, and from there we cover the whole province of Girona in person: Girona city, Figueres, Olot, Blanes, Lloret, Palafrugell, Roses, Banyoles and Sant Feliu de Guíxols. In Barcelona and its metropolitan area —Badalona, Hospitalet, Sabadell, Terrassa, Mataró, Granollers, Sant Cugat, Manresa— we work the same way, mixing remote with visits when we need to meet. For a Barcelona company the practical difference is none.

How much does it cost to work with you?+

It depends on what you need: ranking a website isn't the same as building custom software. That's why, after a first no-obligation chat, we give you a closed, written quote tailored to your case and your moment. We work with freelancers, shops and small firms, so we fit the scope to your real budget.

How soon can you start?+

Usually we can get going within days of you accepting the proposal. What takes longer isn't starting, but seeing results: paid ads bring traffic almost immediately, while SEO or a solid brand take months. We're upfront about timelines from the start.

Do you work remotely or in person?+

Both. We're in Palamós, in the heart of the Costa Brava, so around Girona we're happy to meet in person. For the rest of Catalonia and Spain we work remotely with no problem: most of the work is done just as well over video call and email.

Do you lock me into a long contract?+

No. We don't like chains or contracts that trap you. We work on results and trust; if what we do helps you, you'll stay because you want to. And if at some point it doesn't fit, there's no sense in keeping you against your will.

What kind of businesses do you work with?+

Mainly freelancers, local shops and small firms in Girona, Barcelona and the rest of Catalonia who want to grow and don't know where to start. You don't need to be a big company or have a huge budget; you need to want to do things properly and for the long term.

Where we work

Marketing and software in Girona, Barcelona and all of Catalonia

We're from here and we know the ground. We understand how people on the Costa Brava and across the Girona and Barcelona regions buy, and we adapt every strategy to the area where your business wins its clients.

Girona

Our base of operations: a regional capital with plenty of retail, tourism and services where standing out on Google makes all the difference.

Palamós

This is where our office is. A Costa Brava town with local businesses, hospitality and tourism that need to be found.

Palafrugell

Calella, Llafranc, Tamariu… a strong tourist area where a good online presence fills bookings and calendars.

Figueres

Gateway to the Alt Empordà, with retail and companies competing for the same client: whoever shows up first, wins.

Barcelona

The biggest and most competitive market in Catalonia. There, SEO, well-run ads and a website that converts are essential.

Tarragona

A city and province with lots of small businesses and retail that benefit from ranking well in their area.

Lleida

The inland areas buy online too. We help Lleida businesses get found by clients who used to slip away.

Blanes and Lloret de Mar

The southern Costa Brava, very touristy and seasonal, where making the most of the season depends on your online visibility.

Olot and La Garrotxa

An inland region with industry, retail and nature tourism that gains a lot from a good digital strategy.

And if your business is somewhere else in Catalonia or Spain, no problem: we work remotely with the same closeness and the same care.

Why Magnes Factory

What sets us apart from other agencies

There are plenty of agencies and freelancers. These are the reasons businesses in Girona and Barcelona trust us and stay.

01

Direct contact, no middlemen

You talk to the people doing the work, not a salesperson who promises and then vanishes. We're a small, close team, and it shows in the care we put in.

02

Honesty first

If something isn't right for you, we'll say so, even if it means selling less. We'd rather have a long relationship built on trust than a project that won't serve you.

03

Results you can measure

"Having a presence" isn't enough for us. We chase concrete numbers —clients, calls, sales, time saved— and show them to you plainly so you see what each euro brings in.

04

Digital marketing and software under one roof

Few agencies do great marketing AND build custom software. We do, and that lets us solve problems others don't even see: tying your website, your data and your processes into something that works together.

How we work

A clear method, no surprises

We don't believe in black boxes or reports nobody understands. We work in phases, tell you what we do at each one and why, and you always know where your project stands and what comes next.

01

We listen and diagnose

We start by really understanding your business: what you sell, to whom, what's holding you back and where you want to get to. Without this part, everything else is guesswork.

02

We propose a clear plan

We give you a roadmap with priorities, realistic timelines and a closed quote. No small print, no "we'll see": you know what you'll get and what it costs before we start.

03

We execute and keep you posted

We get to work and show you progress along the way. You can ask and change things as we go; we'd rather adjust on the fly than hand you something that doesn't fit.

04

We measure and improve

Once something is live, we look at the real numbers and fine-tune. What works, we reinforce; what doesn't pay off, we change. Continuous improvement is part of the deal.

Shall we start?

Tell us what's holding you back and we'll tell you how we fix it.

A first no-strings conversation. You leave with a clear plan, not an invoice.
