Crypto / Fintech (Zug, Zurich)
Crypto Valley pricing reality — local clients pay CHF 15,000–30,000/month to MarketAcross or Coinpresso. FINMA compliance review on every page, Swiss DLT Act / FinSA / FinIA expertise required, named experts with Swiss banking background carry their own cost. Lead value EUR 1,000–10,000+ justifies AEO budgets of EUR 5,000–18,000.

Private Banking / Wealth Management
Most premium Swiss vertical — UBS, Julius Baer, Pictet set the bar. AUM per HNW client CHF 500K–CHF 50M+ justifies any marketing investment. Multi-layer compliance: GDPR + FINMA + FATCA + CRS. Trilingual obligatory (DE / FR / EN, often IT).

SaaS / B2B Tech
Strong Swiss SaaS ecosystem — Beekeeper, Smallpdf, Frontify, Bexio. Most clients sell into DACH; DE content is critical. Named experts (CTO, founders) come for free. AEO/GEO is mainstream here — competitors already play in this field.

Local services (legal, medical, consulting)
Swiss local businesses are fragmented across cantons — each town is its own ecosystem. Voice search matters for Voicebot-DE / Voicebot-FR. Smaller query radius (1 canton, 5–15 local queries). Premium kept above base because of multilingual and CH-specific schema work.
