The Diagnosis

Your SEO is missing your real commercial opportunities.

A well-established firm capturing little qualified traffic is rarely a product or credibility problem. It is almost always a problem of alignment between what your prospects search for and what your site says to the engines. In a dense market like Geneva, every month your pages stay invisible on your core queries is pipeline going to the competition. These three signals come up consistently in the accounts we take over.

search_off

Invisible on your strategic queries

Your site exists, but your potential clients cannot find it. You rank on your brand name but are absent from commercial-intent queries. The ones buyers type before making a decision. Your competitors capture that qualified traffic in your place, every day.

trending_down

Traffic, but no conversions

Google Analytics shows visitors, but your phone does not ring. Wrong keywords, wrong landing pages, no conversion journey. Your pages inform, but they do not convince. Every visitor who leaves without acting is a client lost.

analytics

No visibility on what works

Your current agency sends you incomprehensible reports. Or nothing at all. No position tracking, no measurement of conversions attributed to SEO, no account of the budget invested. Search stays a black box, and you pay without knowing why.

The Geneva market

Geneva, a demanding and multilingual SEO market

The canton of Geneva holds around 23’000 active companies across a territory of 282 km². It is one of the densest markets in Switzerland, and also one of the most competitive in SEO. On a commercial query such as “lawyer Geneva” or “dental clinic Geneva”, you consistently find 20 to 30 Google Ads advertisers and as many well-established organic competitors. Local roots are no longer enough, you have to add precise sector expertise.

Geneva has a characteristic no other canton in French-speaking Switzerland shares to this degree: 40% of the population is foreign and the economy is heavily internationalised, spanning international organisations (UN, WHO, WTO), commodity trading, private banking, high-end watchmaking and biotech. An SME in Geneva often has to exist in French and in English, sometimes in German or Arabic depending on the sector. SEO in Geneva that does not think multilingual leaves 30 to 50% of the market on the table.

Our typical Geneva clients: accountancy firms in Champel, law practices in Eaux-Vives, private clinics in Plainpalais, B2C e-commerce in La Praille, biotech start-ups in Plan-les-Ouates. Each district has its codes, its keywords, its expectations about meeting in person. Smart Impact is based in Carouge, 10 minutes from Cornavin.

Our Approach

Three deliberate choices, for SMEs that want measurable outcomes.

The Geneva market is full of agencies selling SEO as an off-the-shelf product: a PDF audit, three generic recommendations, a quarterly report. Nothing really materialises, the recommendations stay in a drawer for want of the technical resources to carry them out. The company pays for twelve months, sees little movement, changes agency, and the cycle starts again.

Our stance is the opposite: SEO is not an option added to an invoice, it is a system built into development, content production and now optimisation for generative AI engines (GEO). Three pillars, one contact, no ping-pong between suppliers.

integration_instructions

SEO and development, same roof

An SEO recommendation that needs code? We deploy it within the week. No ticket to your development agency, no waiting, no excuses. Our SEO and development teams work in Carouge, on the same floor. That is the difference between an audit filed in a drawer and a site that genuinely ranks.

smart_toy

Visible on Google. And in AI.

In 2026, your clients no longer search on Google alone. They ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI. Generative answers are redistributing traffic. Our GEO approach (Generative Engine Optimisation) makes you citable by AI engines, on top of conventional SEO. While others are still finding out about it, you are already there.

route

A method, not improvisation

Every retainer follows the same steps: audit, prioritisation by business impact, weekly execution, measurement. No shortcuts, no black hat, no “let's see how it goes”. A method proven on dozens of sites in French-speaking Switzerland, with monthly reporting that accounts for every hour billed.

Scoping offer

Not ready to commit yet? Start with a senior scoping deliverable.

Before signing a monthly retainer, you want to know precisely: how much traffic can you realistically capture on your target queries, which pages on your site are holding you back, are your competitors unbeatable or simply ahead? The Strategic Diagnosis answers these questions on the basis of an analysis carried out by our senior SEO team, not a report generated automatically by a tool.

A concrete deliverable: a detailed report, a prioritised 90-day action plan and a one-hour debrief call to talk through the recommendations. If you then decide to go ahead with a retainer, the full amount of the Diagnosis is credited against your first invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about SEO in Switzerland.

Any other questions?
Contact us directly.

01

Why is SEO in Geneva more competitive than elsewhere in French-speaking Switzerland?

The canton of Geneva holds around 23,000 active companies across 282 km², one of the highest economic densities in Switzerland. On a commercial query such as “lawyer Geneva” or “accountant Geneva”, you consistently find 20 to 30 Google Ads advertisers and as many solid organic competitors. The 40% foreign population adds a layer of multilingual competition (French, English, sometimes German or Arabic depending on the sector). To break through you need flawless technical SEO, precise sector positioning and often a bilingual content strategy.

02

Does an SME in Geneva need bilingual French-English SEO?

It depends on who you are actually targeting. If you address only SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland, quality SEO in French is enough. If your clientele includes international organisations, private banking, biotech, commodity trading, luxury watchmaking or private clinics, English is often essential and sometimes German too. We analyse the real language split of your target market before defining the strategy, not the other way round.

03

How much does an SEO retainer suited to the Geneva market cost?

Our retainers start at CHF 2'500.-/month. For an SME in Geneva in a competitive market (finance, healthcare, legal, premium e-commerce), the realistic budget for genuine impact sits between CHF 4'000.- and 8'000.-/month. In less competitive local B2B niches, the entry price may be enough. We produce a precise assessment after a strategic diagnosis at CHF 1'490.-, with an estimated ROI based on the traffic potential identified.
