Stuttgart and Belgrade data and AI consultancy with SEO, GEO and analytics services
About VALANOR
VALANOR is a data and AI consultancy that operates through two linked companies: VALANOR DOO in Belgrade, Serbia, and Valanor GmbH in Stuttgart, which is a member of the Ruess Group. The Stuttgart company is at Lindenspurstrasse 22. Its managing partners are Aleksandar Basara, who is also co-founder, and Steffen Ruess; Marko Sunjka is managing director of the Serbian company. It was founded in 2024 and is a small big-data analytics company.
Most of its work is technical. Service pages cover data strategy, data engineering, business intelligence, data warehouses and lakehouses, computer vision, edge AI, machine learning and custom software. Its Minathril framework organises projects into six layers, from a unified data fabric to generative AI. Clients include INTERGAST, Flip App, Protektorwerk, Eberle Werbeagentur, A1 and Kleon Better Publishing, and manufacturing makes up the largest share of its client mix.
Search is offered as an SEO and GEO service. It offers technical audits for crawl and indexing problems, on-page changes to metadata, headings and internal links, schema and entity signals, content written to be picked up in AI summaries, and Google Business Profile optimisation for map-pack visibility. A dentist is one example of a local business it can help, though no dental client is shown. Support runs monthly, with reports on rankings, AI search inclusion, clicks and local listing exposure, and a site redesign is not required.
Measurement is where it differs from a typical SEO shop. VALANOR sets up GA4, Google Tag Manager and server-side tagging through Stape.io, manages consent with Cookiebot, and builds sites on Next.js or Remix with Sanity or Prismic as headless content systems. A practice or dental group that wants dependable tracking of calls, forms and bookings, or a rebuild on a modern stack, would find that skill set here. A single clinic wanting a packaged local SEO plan may find it more engineering-led than it needs.
On The Manifest, VALANOR has a 5.0 rating from six reviews, with near-perfect scores for timeliness and value. The featured review, from Kleon Better Publishing, describes one engineer giving hands-on development help, advice on subscription models and automation of deployment work. Typical projects are under $10,000, with one between $10,000 and $49,000. Prices are not published on its site, and calls are booked through a contact form.
