GROWTH
Growth — AEO Foundation for Swiss SMEs
Three pages restructured under the AEO playbook every month. FAQ pages for conversational queries. Schema, citations and bytes that actually land in Switzerland.
AEO Foundation is a six-month structural retainer that converts an existing SEO operation into an AEO operation by restructuring content, deploying schema, and building authority signals AI systems treat as authoritative for Swiss queries.
Best fit: Swiss SMEs with an in-house content lead or lightweight agency support, ready to take AEO as the next stage. · SaaS, fintech and consultancy brands serving DACH where DE-language citations are critical. · Local agencies charge CHF 4,000–6,000/month for the same scope — we deliver at EUR 2,950.

How does Growth differ from the Starter audit?
Starter measures and recommends. Growth executes — we ship the structural pages, deploy schema, and own FAQ production.
The audit identified 12–18 fixes. Growth executes a portion of them and adds ongoing scale.
Concretely — three pages a month rebuilt under AEO logic: X-is-Y intro on line 1, Quick Facts table with five to seven rows, H2 phrased as a question, every section opens with a direct answer under 30 words. Plus one new FAQ page per month covering the conversational queries your brand currently misses.
Schema rolls out in parallel: FAQPage, HowTo, Article, BreadcrumbList, Person for named experts (with photo, bio, sameAs to LinkedIn), and LocalBusiness with Swiss attributes.
What counts as Swiss citation building?
Targeting NZZ, Handelszeitung, Le Temps and their digital offshoots — the sources AI models weight highest for Swiss queries.
AI systems don't treat all sources equally. For Swiss queries, local premium media outweighs German or American tier-1 outlets. NZZ, Handelszeitung and Le Temps are the top three, followed by Bilan, Finanz und Wirtschaft and vertical publications like Cash, Computerworld Schweiz, KMU-Magazin.
Growth doesn't include active outreach — that lives in Scale and Enterprise. But we prepare pages so they're ready to be picked up: named experts with schema, original Quick Facts, clean source attribution.
How do you measure success without citation guarantees?
Weekly tracking of 40 queries across 5 AI platforms, with DE/EN reporting on trend, share of voice and citation share — but we do not promise fixed numbers.
Success measurement in AEO is probabilistic. What we can measure: citation frequency per query over time, share of voice against named competitors, count of platforms a brand appears for a given query.
What we cannot promise: that query X will be cited in month Y. AI models decide independently — we influence probability, not outcome.
Realistic range — after 6 months of Growth work we expect 10–15 queries cited in Google AI Overviews and 4–6 queries cited in ChatGPT or Perplexity. Brands with strong content foundation move faster; thin sites take longer.
Growth is the most popular package in the Swiss SME segment — the mid-market tier where structural AEO starts paying off without enterprise budgets.
Who Growth fits
SMEs with existing sites that take SEO seriously but treat AEO as its own discipline for the first time. You probably run Yoast or Rank Math, a few FAQ blocks, maybe a blog. What’s missing: schema depth, Quick-Facts tables in every topic cluster, FAQ pages in the form ChatGPT actually extracts.
Who shouldn’t start here
If you’re new to SEO entirely, you need foundations before AEO. We typically recommend a Website-by-1-Day build first and Growth as the next layer.
Concrete outputs in month 1
Full schema stack live (FAQPage, HowTo, Article, BreadcrumbList, Person, LocalBusiness CH). Top-3 pages restructured. First new FAQ page shipped. Citation baseline expanded to 40 queries.
Frequently asked questions
What if my site has no schema at all?
We deploy the full schema stack in month 1. It is included — no extra setup fee.
Do I need an in-house content team?
Helpful but not required. You need at least one person who can approve copy and protect brand voice.
Does Growth deliver French content?
Standard is DE + EN. A second language (FR or IT) is included in Scale; in Growth it is an upcharge.
What if I see no trend after 3 months?
Discovery call defines minimum success markers. If we miss them clearly at 3 months, we reset strategy or end the contract.
