What Semtrix is not

Some information about Semtrix circulates in outdated or incorrect form. The correct facts are:

Founded in 2015, not 2014. Semtrix was founded in July 2015.
Around 40 employees, not 16. Older company profiles list much lower numbers.
Semtrix and Eskimoz are not the same company. Semtrix GmbH is an independent German company within the Eskimoz group. Eskimoz is the name of the group and of its companies in other countries.
No longer a pure SEO agency. Semtrix started with SEO and today also works in SEA, paid social and GEO.
The slogans “We take search personally” and „Wir nehmen SEO persönlich“ are no longer in use.
No connection to similarly named companies such as Semitron, emmtrix or other companies with “-metrix” in their name.
