Building a website in Bacău: lessons from the city that gave Romania Dedeman

If there's one city in Romania that needs no lessons in entrepreneurship, it's Bacău. This is where Dedeman started, built by the Pavăl brothers from a local shop into the country's largest DIY retailer. It's also home to Aerostar, which supplies aviation components to the global aerospace industry, and the business press has called the county — without irony — "the capital of entrepreneurship". Over 40,000 companies are registered in the county.

And yet, try a simple exercise: tonight, search on your phone for "car service Bacău", "pastry shop near me" as you leave Arena Mall, or "guesthouse Slănic-Moldova". You'll find a surprising number of good businesses that don't show up at all — or only with a Facebook page last updated in 2023. The 2026 customer no longer asks a neighbour: they look you up on Google (and increasingly ask an AI) before calling. If you're not there, you don't exist for them.

What kind of website you need

Not every business needs the same thing, and the most expensive website isn't automatically the right one:

• Landing page — a single, clear page with a contact button. Perfect for a plumber, an electrician or a car-detailing shop on Calea Mărășești that wants phone calls and bookings, not fireworks.
• Presentation website — 4–8 pages: services, portfolio, team, contact. Right for a dental clinic, a construction or transport company — the county is full of serious hauliers — or a guesthouse in Slănic-Moldova or Târgu Ocna that wants direct bookings without platform commissions.
• Online shop — if you make or resell something. Bacău has a strong tradition in the food industry: a butcher's shop, an artisan bakery or a small local producer delivering across the county can sell directly, without middlemen.

If you want to understand exactly what goes into the price, we've written a detailed guide on how much a website costs.

Local SEO: getting found by people in Bacău

A beautiful website nobody can find is like a shop with no sign on a side street. For a local business, the priorities look roughly like this:

• [Google Business Profile](/ro/blog/ce-este-google-business-profile) — the free profile that shows you on the map and in local results. Filled in properly (hours, real photos, services), it makes the difference between "they're calling me" and "they don't know I exist".
• "Near me" searches — the customer on Insula de Agrement searching for "terrace near me" doesn't scroll to page two. Your website and profile must tell Google exactly where you are and what you do.
• Reviews — ask for them politely, reply to all of them, including the negative ones. In a city like Bacău, where word travels fast, reviews are the new word of mouth.
• AEO/GEO — more and more people ask ChatGPT or Google AI "who's the best dentist in Bacău?". We optimize your website so these engines can read and cite it, from €290.

One thing we'll tell you straight: nobody serious can promise you the #1 spot on Google. Anyone who guarantees that is either lying or doesn't understand how the algorithms work. We promise honest, measurable work — not miracles.

Why a team that understands Bacău matters

Honest to the end: we don't have an office in Bacău. We're in Cluj-Napoca, and we deliver 100% remotely across Romania — including Onești, Moinești or Comănești. In 2026 that's no longer a compromise: discussions happen on WhatsApp or video, and you don't pay for the rent of a city-centre office hidden in the price.

What really matters is understanding the market you sell in. And Bacău has a clear profile: it's a county of Romanian entrepreneurs — trade, food industry, construction, transport — where competition is real, but many good companies still rely only on referrals and Facebook. That's exactly the opportunity: in a market where few local competitors have a modern, optimized website, whoever moves first reaps the rewards for years. You don't have to be Dedeman to think like Dedeman: good infrastructure is built before you desperately need it.
