The problem

Your website exists, but nobody finds it on Google?

Many company websites offer good services but stay beyond page one of Google. There are almost always three reasons.

Hidden technical problems

Slow pages, indexing errors and a confusing structure stop Google from reading and rewarding the website.

Content that misses the searches

The pages talk about the company, not about what customers search for. So Google prefers the competition.

Traffic that doesn't turn into requests

Even when visits arrive, slow or unclear pages lose them before they get in touch.

Our approach

Technical SEO and content that sells

We work on two levels: technical and on-page optimisation, so Google can read and index the site without obstacles, and pages that answer your customers' searches. Then we measure everything, right through to the contact request.

01 · Analyse

A website Google reads without obstacles

We start with a complete audit: speed, structure, indexing and structured data. We fix the biggest blockers first and show you the status of every task.

  • Technical audit with Screaming Frog and Search Console
  • Core Web Vitals and mobile speed
  • Structured data, sitemap and indexing

02 · Rank

The keywords that bring customers, under control

To rank a company website on Google, we choose keywords by commercial value: services, products, prices, comparisons. Every month you see which pages have climbed and how many requests they brought in.

  • Keyword research with Semrush, Ahrefs and Sistrix
  • Keywords with commercial intent
  • Requests linked to every page

Sample Visilay report. Fictitious data.

What we handle

Every part of SEO, from code to links

SEO works when technology, content, authority and measurement work together. Here is what we handle, with examples of the reports you receive.

Content

We plan service pages, guides and FAQs based on real searches. Clear copy, with data and proof, that works on Google and gets cited in AI answers.

  • Editorial plan built on keywords
  • SEO copywriting for service and category pages
  • Content ready for AI answers

Link building

Authority from links on real sources

Google rewards websites cited by authoritative sources. We look for links and mentions in magazines, associations and portals in your industry, with no schemes that risk penalties.

  • Backlink analysis for you and your competitors
  • Articles and mentions in trade publications
  • No links bought from risky networks

  • Reviews collected with a method

Frequently asked questions

SEO consulting, in short

How much does SEO cost?

It depends on goals, website size and competition. An ongoing SEO plan usually costs between €500 and €3,000 a month, or the equivalent in Swiss francs. A one-off project, such as a full audit or a migration, starts at around €5,000. The quote is itemised.

How soon will I see results?

The first improvements usually arrive between the third and sixth month, then grow over time. For Sunscape, for example, page-one keywords went from 1 to 38 in six months.

Do you only work with companies in Ticino?

No. Lugano is our base and we work with companies from Chiasso to Bellinzona, but we also work with companies in the rest of Switzerland and across Italy.

How do you choose an SEO agency in Ticino?

Ask for case studies with verifiable numbers, direct access to Search Console and Analytics, and the name of the person who will run the project day to day. Be wary of anyone who guarantees the top spot. You will find the questions to ask before signing in our guide on how to choose an SEO agency.

Do you also handle multilingual sites and e-commerce?

Yes. Many Ticino websites have versions in several languages: we set up hreflang, URLs and keywords for each language, as in the LED wall project you will find among our case studies. For e-commerce we work on categories and product pages: for a food e-commerce site, sales from Google grew by 145%.

Do you also manage the Google Business Profile?

Yes. For local searches Google Maps appears above the results: we optimise the profile, set up a method for collecting reviews and manage citations on local portals.

Does SEO also work for ChatGPT and AI answers?

Largely yes, because AI tools often cite the pages Google ranks well. To work specifically on AI answers we have a dedicated GEO service.

Do I need a new website?

Not always. Technical fixes, new content and a clearer structure are often enough. If the website is holding back results, we'll tell you in the initial analysis.

Do you guarantee the top position on Google?

No. Nobody can seriously guarantee it, because Google's algorithm decides. We give you measurable goals and show you the real numbers every month.

How do you measure results?

With keyword rankings, clicks from Search Console and contact requests tracked in Google Analytics 4, in a monthly Looker Studio report.
