SEO Agency for Swiss SMEs

Search engine optimisation makes you findable to people who are already looking for what you do. Not an advertising budget that has to be spent again every month, but visibility that stays.

SEO isn't a single action but a combination of technology, content and trust. Which part matters most for you depends on where you stand. That's why every project here starts with an analysis rather than a package.

The four areas of search engine optimisation

SEO is often sold as one thing. In reality it's four, and they work at different speeds.

When SEO is worth it for you

When people search for what you do

SEO doesn't create demand, it captures existing demand. If nobody searches for your offering, Google Ads or social media is the better starting point.

When you have a catchment area

Local searches carry high purchase intent. Someone searching for "plumber Altdorf" doesn't want to read, they want to call.

When you have three to six months

Technical improvements show sooner, but lasting rankings take time. If you need revenue next week, paid advertising serves you better.

When you have something to say

Expertise, projects, experience – that's what turns into content that ranks. Without substance, SEO stays technology without effect.

Common questions about search engine optimisation

What does SEO cost for a Swiss SME?
A one-off audit with a prioritised list starts at a few hundred francs. Ongoing support starts at around CHF 500 per month depending on scope. The price depends mainly on competition in your sector: a trades business in Uri needs considerably less effort than an online store competing nationwide.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical improvements often show first effects after four to eight weeks. With content and links it usually takes three to six months before rankings shift noticeably. SEO is a marathon – but the results keep working even if you reduce the budget later.
Can't I do SEO myself?
The basics, yes: understandable page titles, sensible headings, a well-kept Google Business Profile. It gets difficult with technical analysis, keyword research and the question of which measure actually helps in your situation. That's exactly where most SMEs burn time.
Do you guarantee position 1 on Google?
No, and anyone who does should make you suspicious. Nobody controls Google's ranking. What we do commit to: traceable measures, monthly reports with real figures, and an honest assessment when a goal is unrealistic.
What's the difference between SEO and Google Ads?
Google Ads delivers visibility immediately but costs money with every click. SEO takes months, then keeps working without ongoing click costs. For most SMEs the combination makes sense: Ads for a fast start, SEO for the foundation.
