Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will I see results from local SEO in Zürich?
Initial improvements typically appear within 4-8 weeks as Google processes your optimized Business Profile and new citations. Appearing in the Local Pack (top 3) usually takes 2-4 months depending on competition in your Zürich district and industry. We provide monthly progress reports tracking your local search visibility.
Do I need a physical location in Zürich for local SEO?
Yes, Google requires a physical address or defined service area in Zürich. If you serve customers at their location (like plumbers or mobile services), you can hide your address but still appear in local search results for Zürich and surrounding areas.
Which Swiss directories do you submit to?
We build citations across 50+ directories including major Swiss platforms (local.ch, search.ch, tel.search.ch), Google Business Profile, Apple Maps, Bing Places, industry-specific directories, and Zürich-focused business listings. All submissions include German-language business information.
Can you optimize for multiple Zürich locations?
Absolutely. We specialize in multi-location local SEO. If you have businesses in Zürich City Center, Oerlikon, Altstetten, or other districts, we create separate optimized profiles and location pages for each, ensuring maximum visibility across all your Zürich service areas.
How do you handle negative reviews?
We provide review management strategies including professional response templates, guidance on addressing negative feedback constructively, and systems to generate more positive reviews. Responding professionally to all reviews (positive and negative) improves your local SEO and builds trust with Zürich customers.
What's the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?
Local SEO focuses specifically on appearing in location-based searches and Google Maps results when Zürich customers search for services 'near me' or in Zürich. Regular SEO targets broader organic search. For Zürich businesses serving local customers, local SEO typically delivers faster, more targeted results.
