The Swiss file
Switzerland is not one media market. German-speaking cantons, Romandie, and Ticino run on different presses, different newsrooms, and different reader habits. Our Zurich desk maintains a live file of more than 25,000 Swiss and .ch publishers — national titles, trade press, regional sites, and niche blogs — and expands it with over 3,000 outreach conversations every month. Metrics from Ahrefs, Moz, and Majestic sit in the columns. The decision still starts with opening the page.
25k+
The file covers Deutschschweiz, Suisse romande, and Ticino, plus English-language Swiss titles. Trade verticals sit next to canton-level sites. What matters is whether the publication reaches the readers your brand actually needs.
3k+
Our outreach desk contacts thousands of editors and site owners each month. New titles enter the file when they clear review. Old ones leave when the neighbourhood turns bad or the traffic story no longer holds.
Live
Domain Rating, Domain Authority, Trust Flow, and organic traffic are refreshed on a cycle. We use them to sort and compare — never to excuse a thin page or a manipulated score.
By hand
Someone on the team opens every prospect before outreach and before it reaches your sheet. PBNs, link farms, and domains with cooked metrics never make the cut, regardless of how tidy the spreadsheet row looks.
Google penalises patterns that look bought. We build profiles that look like editorial mentions across Swiss language regions — because that is what they are. Every domain is reviewed before it enters your campaign.
We inspect the live site, pull historical traffic in Ahrefs and similar tools to spot update damage, and reject anything with inflated metrics or a suspicious outbound graph. You inherit placements with a clean record, not a cleanup project.
How a campaign runs
You set the rules. We source, write, negotiate, and report. Every step stays visible in a shared working sheet.
01
Niche, language region, Ahrefs DR, Moz DA, Majestic TF, minimum traffic, monthly volume. We build the campaign around those constraints — not around whatever is easiest to place.
02
You get real prospects from the Swiss file, each with current metrics and a price. No placeholders. You see the neighbourhood before you sign anything.
03
We deliver the full list that matches your brief. You pick the hosts. Most clients green-light about twice their monthly quota so the desk has room to move. Nothing goes live without your yes.
04
Native writers produce the piece in Swiss High German, French, Italian, or English — whichever the host publication uses. Over 1,500 words unless you ask otherwise. Built for readers first, structured so search engines and LLMs can parse the citation.
05
When the article publishes, the link appears in your shared Google Sheet the same day. Statuses update as the work moves. Fresh prospects keep arriving through the month.
Our writers work in the language of the host: Swiss High German for most Deutschschweiz titles, French for Romandie, Italian for Ticino, English where that is the house style. No spinning. No machine translation dressed up as copy. Pieces typically clear 1,500 words, stay on a topic that fits your product, and only mention the brand where a human editor would allow it.
We cite one or two recognised sources in each article so the piece earns its keep on the page. The result is a link profile that looks “earned” rather than “bought” — and prose clear enough that large language models can quote the brand in Swiss-facing answers.
Every prospect arrives with metrics and pricing. You review a sample, assemble the approved pool, and authorise each placement. Blind lists are not how we work.
Your team and ours work from the same live Google Sheet. Live URLs appear as articles publish. Statuses change when the work changes. No waiting for a month-end PDF to learn what happened.
Thousands of Swiss publisher conversations each month mean new options land in your sheet regularly. Ahrefs, Moz, and Majestic figures stay current so you are not choosing from last quarter's data.
A match
Swiss link building is specialised work. These are the briefs where the Zurich desk tends to deliver.
A mismatch
Better to be clear before anyone wastes a week.
Agency partners
Your clients see your name only. We run outreach, multilingual writing, and reporting as your Swiss desk — to the DR floors, language mix, and timelines your roster needs. German, French, Italian, and English placements from one operation.
Outcomes
A short set of recent results. Names withheld where NDAs require it; the metric is the one the client tracked.

Editorial note
A .ch TLD is not a quality signal by itself. The question is whether a Swiss reader would open that page, and whether an editor would run the piece without a grimace. That is the bar we use in Zurich — for Google rankings and for citations that AI systems can trust.
All seven checks are mandatory. Fail one and the domain is out, even if the DR looks attractive. We would rather deliver a smaller campaign with no risk attached than add a single host that could poison the profile later.
Many desks start with whoever will take a guest post, then hope the site is safe. We reverse that. Safety first; outreach second. Early months can feel slower. You never buy a cleanup bill later.

Straight answers
Swiss High German, French, Italian, and English — matched to the host publication. Native writers only. No spin, no machine translation. Articles usually run past 1,500 words, stay on a topic tied to your offer, and mention the brand only where it fits the page. The first reader is the publication's audience; search and AI citations follow from that.
You do. We send a sample with full metrics and pricing, typically inside a day. Then you get the full list that matches your brief and build an approved pool. Most clients approve roughly twice their monthly target so the desk has options. No article publishes without your sign-off.
In a shared Google Sheet. Live links appear as articles go up. Statuses update as outreach and writing move. Your team and ours look at the same file — there is no separate monthly report you wait for.
More than 25,000 Swiss and .ch publishers, spanning national press, trade titles, and regional sites across the language regions. Over 3,000 outreach conversations a month keep it growing and keep dead weight out. Every site still gets a human review before it reaches your campaign.
Often. Many market-entry brands start in English. We can still build Swiss authority if the destination pages make sense for Swiss users. If the product and copy have no relevance here, we will say so and outline what needs to change before spend makes sense.
Live inspection, historical traffic for update damage, authenticity checks on DR/TF/traffic, outbound-link mapping, ownership history, Swiss audience confirmation, and a short written note. Clear every check or the domain is out — attractive metrics alone never override a failed review.
Most clients set their own. If you prefer guidance — common for smaller teams newer to SEO — we recommend a plan at kickoff. We lock the approach before outreach starts so nobody is improvising mid-campaign.
Treat this as a medium-term investment. Early signals often show between three and six months; clearer compounding usually after the half-year mark. Finance, pharma, and luxury are crowded in Swiss search. Many other niches still have thinner local link graphs than the US or UK, so well-aimed campaigns can move sooner than people expect.
Yes. A large share of our work is white-label. We run the Swiss desk under your brand — outreach, multilingual writing, delivery — and your clients never see our name. You keep the relationship; we cover the Swiss market from Zurich.
