You are looking for a digital agency in Switzerland that can handle your website, your visibility on Google and your social media accounts, without you having to coordinate three separate providers in two languages. DSA - Digital Swiss Agency is a digital marketing agency registered with the Geneva Commercial Register since May 2024, based in Le Grand-Saconnex, a few minutes from the international district. We work with SMEs, freelancers and local businesses in Geneva, Lausanne, Nyon, Carouge, Morges, Montreux and across French-speaking Switzerland. This page sets out what we do, what it costs, how we run projects remotely across the region, and how to check any agency properly before you sign.
We work in English, and that is not a footnote
Geneva has one of the largest English-speaking working populations in Europe: international organisations, NGOs, diplomatic staff, finance, and a steady flow of expatriates who set up businesses here. A lot of them run into the same wall. The website quotes come in French, the contract is in French, the monthly report is in French, and every clarification costs a translation round.
With us, the whole project runs in English if that suits you better: the first call, the written quote, the site content, the ad copy, the reporting and the day-to-day messages. We also work in French, so a bilingual site with a French version for the local market and an English version for your international audience is a normal request, not an exception. If your market is German-speaking Switzerland or genuinely global, we say so during scoping rather than after the invoice.
What DSA actually does
We do not sell strategy in slide decks. We produce things that exist online and keep running: websites, content, campaigns, automations. Here is the exact scope.
- Website design and build — brochure sites, service sites, online shops, with hosting and maintenance handled by the agency. The process is detailed on the website design in Geneva page.
- Search engine optimisation (SEO) — site structure, city-level service pages, content, Google Business Profile, Search Console monitoring. We cover both the Geneva area and the canton of Vaud, as shown on the SEO in Lausanne page.
- Social media management — editorial calendar, visuals, carousels, publishing and replies to incoming messages. Formats and packages are on the social media management page.
- Paid advertising — Google Ads, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok and LinkedIn, chosen according to where your customers actually are. Details on the Google Ads campaigns page.
- Content and vertical video — photos, copy, short 9:16 videos for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
- AI automation — quotes, follow-ups, replies to incoming enquiries, reporting: whatever is repetitive gets automated, as described on the AI automation page.
Covering French-speaking Switzerland without an office in every town
Plenty of agencies open a nameplate address in Lausanne, another in Geneva, another in Fribourg. We have one office, in Le Grand-Saconnex, and we say so plainly. What matters to you is not the distance to your provider, it is response time and clarity of follow-up.
In practice, a project in Morges, Montreux or Nyon runs like this. The first conversation happens by video call or phone, thirty to forty-five minutes, to understand the business, the customers you want and what already exists. Content (photos, copy, logos, access credentials) travels through a shared folder, not through an unreadable email chain. The site is built on a staging address you can open whenever you want, from your phone, and comment on directly. Advertising campaigns and reports live in your own Google Ads, Meta Business and Analytics accounts, so you see the numbers live instead of waiting for a monthly PDF.
We travel when travelling serves a purpose: a photo session, a video shoot in your premises, a kick-off meeting with several people from your team. For a design approval or a progress check, a twenty-minute call does the same job and does not cost you half a day. We reply to requests in under twenty-four hours on working days. That commitment is what replaces geographical proximity.
Prices announced before you start
The most common question asked of any Swiss agency is the price, and it is also the one almost nobody answers on their own website. We give orders of magnitude before the first meeting.
- Website: from CHF 200. The final amount depends on the number of pages, whether there is an online shop, how many languages you need, and whether the copy and photos have to be produced.
- Social media management: from CHF 50 per month. The amount depends on the number of posts, the number of networks, and whether we produce the visuals and videos.
- SEO and advertising campaigns: priced after a first review of the site and the market, and communicated before anything starts. For campaigns, the media budget paid to Google or Meta is separate from our fees, and you see the two lines separately.
- Hosting and maintenance: we are a Hostinger partner and we host the sites we build ourselves. The annual cost is stated in the quote, not discovered later.
No invoice goes out without having been announced first. The full breakdown of what pushes a website price up or down is explained on the website pricing page.
How to choose a digital agency in Switzerland
These criteria apply to any agency, including ours. Use them.
Ask for live sites, not screenshots
A serious agency gives you addresses you can open right now. Check the loading speed on a phone, the readability, whether the contact form actually works. Our client sites are online and open to inspection: locabus.ch, carsalis.com, homelocation.ch, remisedebail.ch, leasetakeover.ch, fvplomberie.fr, editionpatrimoine.com, amfidu.com, pizzacrousty37.fr, velizycar.com, noorshifa.com. They are listed on the portfolio page.
Check who owns what
The domain name, the hosting, the Google Ads account, the Analytics property, the Google Business Profile: ask in writing whose name each one is registered under. If the ad accounts belong to the agency, you lose the entire history the day you leave. With us, the domain and the advertising accounts are in the client's name.
Look at the reviews, and at how many there are
A perfect score based on three reviews means nothing. Our Google profile shows 5.0 from 7 reviews: that is a small number of reviews, we say so, and you can read them one by one. Be especially wary of agencies quoting result percentages with no client name attached.
Ask who does the work
Many agencies sell and then subcontract. Ask who writes the copy, who codes, who runs the campaigns, and who you write to when something breaks on a Friday evening.
Walk away from ranking promises
Nobody can guarantee first position on Google, a deadline for SEO results, or a return on investment quantified in advance. An agency guaranteeing a ranking is selling you something it does not control. We do not do it.
Verify the legal existence
Company number, commercial register entry, a real address. DSA has been registered with the Geneva Commercial Register since May 2024, at Rue Alberto Giacometti 3, 1218 Le Grand-Saconnex.
What a Swiss-based agency changes in practice
The flag alone is not the point. What changes day to day is this: invoicing happens in Swiss francs, with no exchange-rate surprises or international banking fees. Data protection questions are handled under the Swiss revised Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP) alongside the GDPR, which is not the same thing and matters if you collect customer data through a form. Working hours are your working hours: a call at 8:30 on a Tuesday reaches someone. And we know the reality of the local market, where an SME in Nyon is not sold the same way as a national chain, and where an English-language audience in Geneva does not search the same terms as a French-speaking one.
How a project runs
- First conversation — video call or phone, free, in English or French, to understand your business and your priorities.
- Written quote — defined scope, firm price, indicative timeline. Nothing starts before your approval.
- Production — site, content or campaigns, with a staging address or account access so you can follow progress.
- Launch — technical checks, indexing, measurement installed.
- Ongoing work — hosting, maintenance, publishing or campaign optimisation depending on the package.
If you would rather first know what is wrong with what you already have, we look at your site and your visibility and tell you what is worth fixing first. Write to us from the contact page: reply within twenty-four hours on working days, in English or French.
