Paolo Boz is the founder of Dot Business, a web agency based in Bratislava that has been building websites and e-commerce stores for micro-businesses and SMEs since 2014. He has a SEO background going back to 2007 and, alongside running the agency, works as a consultant on SEO and artificial intelligence.
In this interview he describes the journey that took him from a constant scramble between WordPress plugins, different Consent Management Platforms and complicated configurations to the — definitive — choice of My Agile Privacy® as the reference solution for every site he manages. A choice that came about by chance, after reading a comment in a Facebook group, and one that became structural to the point of bringing him into the Agile Network as an official reseller.
The interview touches the knots that affect any web agency managing sites on behalf of clients.
There is the issue of the hidden cost of tools that change from project to project, with non-billable configuration hours quietly piling up. There is pricing, a factor that's anything but secondary when working with micro-businesses where even an extra hundred euros of annual cost has to be justified. There is the shift in the relationship with the client: from Privacy "thrown in" as an accessory in the website package to Privacy listed as a specific line item in the quote, with the product name and a link to learn more.
Then there is the issue of real timing: Paolo describes clearly how long it used to take to correctly configure consent management (hours, even with established tools) and how long it takes today with My Agile Privacy® — fifteen minutes, regardless of whether it's a blog, a brochure site or a WooCommerce e-commerce store. On Google's Consent Mode, the comparison is even sharper: in the enterprise implementations he handled as a consultant, it took significant technical effort; in My Agile Privacy® it's a flag to toggle on.
And there is the issue of support, the kind that — as Paolo puts it — turns a vendor into a partner: "You become a partner because you don't add problems for me, you're a support."
For web agencies, freelancers, WordPress developers and SEO consultants who recognise the "jungle" Paolo describes — that phase where every new client means trying yet another tool, that feeling of never having a definitive solution to offer. And for anyone considering whether to turn GDPR compliance from a hidden cost into a strategic component of their commercial offering.
We thank Paolo Boz for the time and clarity with which he shared his experience.
