SEO work that prepares and supports a company's launch in a new country – before, during and after the launch.
Also called: SEO for market entry, country launch SEO
Market entry SEO starts with research: how many people search for the offer, in which language regions, and who already ranks. Then come the structure of the new country version, the first local pages and the local signals such as a Swiss address and directory entries.
Because new pages need time to rank, the work ideally starts a few months before the official launch.
Why Market entry SEO matters in Switzerland
Switzerland is small but multilingual and price-sensitive in its own way. A good analysis shows which region and which keywords are worth it, and where marketplaces are the better first step.
Our tip
Start the SEO analysis when the decision to enter Switzerland is made, not when the website goes live.
