Answers to common questions about our services, pricing, and process
#
Who is Studio 3121 and what do you do?
Studio 3121 is a digital agency based in Amsterdam, founded by Adrian (tech and delivery) and Tim (sales and marketing). We handle web development, marketing, data, and content so you can focus on running your business. Think of us as your external digital team: one partner for everything online.

#
What makes Studio 3121 different from other digital agencies in Amsterdam?
Most agencies sell you hours. We sell you outcomes through modular monthly services you can activate or cancel as you grow. You get senior-level people doing the actual work, not juniors supervised by the person you met in the sales pitch. And because we handle web, marketing, data, and content under one roof, nothing falls through the cracks.

#
What does 'Digital Growth Partner' actually mean?
It means we're not a vendor you hire for a one-off project. We become your ongoing digital team: diagnosing where you are, building what you need, and growing with you over time. We follow a maturity curve: first your website, then marketing, then data and automation. Each step builds on the last.

#
Is Studio 3121 the right fit for a small business?
If you're a growing company with 5-50 employees and you don't have an in-house digital team, we're built for you. Our modular approach means you only pay for what you need right now and can scale up as your business grows. We're not the right fit for enterprises that need a 20-person team on-site.

#
How do I start working with Studio 3121?
Book a free intro call through our contact page. We'll talk about your business, where you are digitally, and what makes sense as a first step. No pressure, no 40-page proposals. If there's a fit, we'll send a clear scope document and get started within a week.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
What exactly is included in each service module?
Each module has a one-page scope document that clearly lists what's included and what's not. For example, the Web module covers your Webflow site, CMS management, and technical SEO. The Marketing module covers SEO strategy, paid ads management, and content. We share these before you sign anything so there are no grey areas.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
How does Studio 3121's pricing work?
We use a modular subscription model. You activate the services you need (Web, Marketing, Data, Content) and pay a monthly fee per module. Most projects also have a one-time setup fee. You can cancel any module with 30 days notice. No lock-in contracts, no hidden fees.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
Yes. Every module is cancelable with 30 days notice. We don't believe in trapping clients with long contracts. If we're not delivering value, you should be free to leave. That said, some services like SEO need time to show results, so we'll set realistic expectations upfront.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
I don't know what data I should be tracking. Can you help?
That's exactly where we start. Most businesses either track nothing or track everything without knowing why. We audit what you have, define the metrics that actually drive decisions in your business, and set up clean tracking from scratch. You'll go from guessing to knowing.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
My current analytics setup is a mess. Can you fix it?
Yes, and it's one of the most common things we do. We'll audit your current GA4, GTM, and pixel setup, document what's broken or missing, and rebuild it properly. Starting from a clean foundation is better than patching bad tracking. It saves money and gives you data you can actually trust.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Can you set up Google Analytics 4 properly for my business?
Yes. Most GA4 setups we audit are either broken or tracking the wrong things. We configure GA4 with the events that actually matter for your business: form submissions, purchases, scroll depth, file downloads. Then we connect it to Google Tag Manager for clean, maintainable tracking.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Can you build me a custom marketing dashboard?
Yes. We build dashboards in Looker Studio that pull data from your website, ads, and CRM into one view. No more logging into five different platforms to understand what's happening. The standard Data Analytics module includes one dashboard. More complex setups are scoped as custom projects.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Can you connect my CRM to my website and marketing tools?
Yes. We integrate CRMs like HubSpot, Pipedrive, or custom systems with your Webflow site, ad platforms, and analytics. This means leads flow automatically from your website to your sales pipeline, and you can track the full journey from first click to closed deal.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Can you automate my reporting and data workflows?
Yes. We build automated data pipelines that pull from multiple sources and update your dashboards without anyone lifting a finger. For more complex needs like syncing property listings from a CRM to your website automatically, we build custom integrations.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
What is server-side tagging and do I need it?
Server-side tagging moves your tracking from the visitor's browser to your own server. This means better data accuracy, improved site speed, and compliance with privacy laws like GDPR. If you run paid ads and care about accurate conversion data, server-side tagging pays for itself quickly.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Is your analytics setup GDPR compliant?
Yes. We implement cookie consent management, configure GA4 for data retention policies, and recommend server-side tagging to reduce reliance on third-party cookies. Privacy compliance isn't optional in the Netherlands. It's baked into every tracking setup we build.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
How long does SEO take to show results?
Honestly, 3-6 months for meaningful organic traffic growth. Anyone promising first-page rankings in 30 days is either lying or using tactics that will get you penalized. We focus on building a solid foundation: technical health, quality content, and smart keyword targeting. It compounds over time.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
What ROI can I expect from digital marketing?
We won't give you a made-up number. ROI depends on your industry, competition, current online presence, and budget. What we will do is set clear KPIs from day one, track everything properly with our Data Analytics setup, and show you exactly what your investment is producing. If something isn't working, we change the approach.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Should I invest in Google Ads or Meta Ads?
It depends on your business. Google Ads captures people already searching for what you offer, which makes it great for services and high-intent purchases. Meta Ads is better for building awareness and reaching people who don't know they need you yet. We often start with Meta to build demand, then layer in Google to capture it.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
What's the minimum budget for Google Ads or Meta Ads?
We recommend at least €1,000/month in ad spend to get meaningful data and results. Below that, you're spending money without learning enough to optimize. Our management fee is separate from your ad spend. We'll be upfront about both numbers so there are no surprises.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Do you offer local SEO for businesses in Amsterdam?
Yes. Local SEO includes Google Business Profile setup and optimization, local keyword targeting, review management strategy, and making sure your business shows up in map results. If you serve customers in a specific area, local SEO is usually the fastest path to more leads.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
How much does an SEO agency in Amsterdam charge?
SEO in Amsterdam typically ranges from €500 to €3,000+ per month depending on scope and competition in your market. Our Growth Marketing module includes SEO as part of a broader strategy alongside paid ads and content, so you're not paying for SEO in isolation. You're paying for actual growth.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
How do you report on marketing results?
You get a clear monthly report with the numbers that matter: traffic, leads, ad spend, cost per lead, and what we're doing next. No 30-page decks full of vanity metrics. If you have our Data Analytics module active, you also get a live dashboard you can check anytime.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Does your SEO service include content creation?
Our Growth Marketing module includes content strategy and blog content as part of the SEO work. For heavier content needs like video production, brand campaigns, or social media management, that falls under the Content Creation service. We'll recommend what makes sense based on your goals.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Can you create a brand identity for my company?
Yes. We create brand identities including logo, color palette, typography, and visual guidelines. Everything is delivered in Figma with organized design files you actually own. This is a project-based service. Once your brand is defined, ongoing visual work falls under the Content Creation subscription.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Do I need a full rebrand or just a brand refresh?
If your brand fundamentally misrepresents what your company does today, you need a rebrand. If the bones are good but things look dated or inconsistent, a refresh is enough. We'll give you an honest assessment. We'd rather do a focused refresh that works than sell you a full rebrand you don't need.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
What design deliverables will I get?
Depends on the project, but typically: logo files in all formats, brand guidelines document, color and typography specs, social media templates, and any specific assets like business cards or presentation templates. Everything lives in Figma so you can access and share it easily.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Do you create ad visuals and creative assets?
Yes. If you're running ads through our Growth Marketing service, we produce the creative assets to go with them: static images, carousels, and basic motion graphics. Having one team handle both strategy and creative means your ads are designed to perform, not just look pretty.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
When does it make sense to add Content Creation to my services?
If your website is live and your marketing is running but your brand looks inconsistent or your ads use stock photos, it's time. Content Creation is most valuable after your web foundation and marketing strategy are in place. It amplifies what's already working rather than decorating something broken.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Do you manage social media accounts?
We focus on social media that drives business results: primarily LinkedIn for B2B and Meta for B2C, tied to paid ad campaigns. We're not a social media agency that posts daily feel-good content. If you need ongoing social management, we can scope that within the Content Creation service.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Why does Studio 3121 build websites in Webflow?
Webflow gives us the design freedom of custom code with the ease of a visual editor. Your site loads fast, is secure by default, and you can edit content yourself without breaking anything. No plugins to update, no security patches, no developer needed for a text change.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Webflow vs WordPress — which is better for my business?
WordPress works, but it comes with ongoing maintenance: plugin updates, security patches, hosting management, and performance optimization. Webflow handles all of that out of the box. For most SMEs, Webflow means fewer headaches, faster sites, and lower total cost over time. We've migrated several businesses from WordPress and none have looked back.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Can you migrate my WordPress site to Webflow?
Yes, we handle the full migration: design, content, SEO redirects, and CMS setup. We make sure your search rankings are preserved with proper 301 redirects and that your new site matches or improves on your current design. Most migrations take 4-8 weeks depending on the size of your site.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
How long does it take to build a Webflow website?
A typical business website takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to launch. That includes design, development, content integration, and testing. More complex projects with e-commerce, multilingual support, or CRM integrations can take 8-12 weeks. The biggest variable is usually how fast you provide content and feedback.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
How much does a professional website cost in Amsterdam?
Our Webflow websites start at €3,000 for a clean business site and go up to €6,000+ for complex projects with e-commerce or custom integrations. After launch, ongoing maintenance and updates are handled through a monthly subscription. We're transparent about pricing from the first call. No surprise invoices.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Can I edit my Webflow website myself after launch?
Absolutely. We set up the CMS so you can update text, images, blog posts, and other content without touching any code. We'll give you a walkthrough and a short guide. For structural changes or new pages, that's where we come in through the monthly web subscription.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Is Webflow good for SEO?
Yes. Webflow produces clean, semantic HTML, generates automatic sitemaps, lets you control meta tags per page, and loads fast. All things Google cares about. We build every site with technical SEO baked in: proper heading structure, image optimization, schema markup, and mobile responsiveness. For ongoing SEO work, that falls under our Growth Marketing service.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Do I need a maintenance plan for my Webflow site?
Webflow doesn't need the constant patching that WordPress does. Hosting, security, and SSL are handled automatically. But your business evolves, and your website should too. Our monthly web subscription covers content updates, new pages, performance checks, and small design tweaks so your site stays current.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Can you build an online shop in Webflow?
Yes. Webflow E-commerce works well for shops with up to a few hundred products. It handles payments, inventory, shipping, and tax calculations. For larger catalogues or complex e-commerce needs, we might recommend a hybrid approach with external tools. We'll be honest about what fits your situation.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
What happens if I need something that's not in my current module?
We'll give you a separate quote for it or recommend activating an additional module if it makes sense. We won't upsell you things you don't need, but we also won't do work for free. The scope docs exist to protect both sides. Clear boundaries mean better results.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
What does the onboarding process look like?
After the intro call, we send a scope document for your review. Once approved, we do a kickoff session where we collect everything we need: brand assets, logins, goals, current pain points. You get access to a shared project board where you can track progress. Most clients are fully onboarded within a week.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
How do you communicate during a project?
You get a shared project board with task visibility, plus regular check-in calls. For quick questions, we use email or your preferred messaging tool. You'll never wonder what we're working on or what's coming next.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Do I get a discount if I use multiple services?
Yes. When you activate two or more modules, you qualify for our Digital Lead bundle: a reduced rate plus strategic oversight that connects everything together. Running web, marketing, and data as one system is more effective than hiring three separate agencies, and the pricing reflects that.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
How big is your team?
We're a core team of two. Adrian handles all technical work and delivery, Tim handles sales and client relationships. For specialized tasks like photography or copywriting in Dutch, we bring in trusted freelancers. Small team means you always talk directly to the people doing the work.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
What industries do you work with?
We work with SMEs across industries, from real estate and industrial manufacturing to e-commerce and professional services. What matters more than your industry is your ambition to grow digitally. If you're serious about getting your online presence right, we're a good fit.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Do you work in Dutch or English?
Our primary working language is English, but Tim is a native Dutch speaker. Client-facing content can be produced in Dutch, English, or both. For multilingual websites, we set up proper locale structures from the start so your SEO works in every language.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Do you work remotely or meet in person?
Mostly remote. It keeps things efficient and keeps your costs down. We use video calls, shared dashboards, and async updates so you always know what's happening. For project kickoffs or strategy sessions, we're happy to meet face to face in Amsterdam.
This is some text inside of a div block.
#
Where is Studio 3121 based?
We're based in Amsterdam and work primarily with businesses in the Netherlands. Most of our communication happens over video calls and async tools, so location is flexible. We're happy to meet in person for kickoffs and key milestones.
