About us
Grüezi, bonjour, hello!
We’re werank, an SEO consultancy for SMEs in the Greater Zurich area. We help businesses set the right SEO priorities so that qualified inquiries come through Google.

Julien Vidal
Founder & SEO consultant
After more than 20 years in the Swiss digital market, Julien founded werank to help SMEs clarify their SEO priorities and build qualified inquiries through Google. He analyses, guides, and sets the direction. For implementation, he supports the client’s team directly. More…

Marketing & Communication
Raquel is responsible for werank’s communication and marketing. From content planning to visual identity and client communication, she makes sure that what werank stands for is visible on the outside too.
Our Mission
Many SMEs know that SEO matters, but not where to start. Between technical recommendations, shifting trends, and too many options, focus gets lost quickly.
That’s exactly what we want to change.
werank brings clarity. We help SMEs in the Greater Zurich area identify the right SEO priorities and execute them in a way that generates qualified inquiries through Google. No overload of measures, but a concrete plan that the internal team can carry.

Our Values
Clarity before complexity
SEO can quickly become overwhelming. We reduce it to what matters and tell our clients clearly what’s a priority and what can wait.
Results that count
We don’t measure ourselves by rankings or traffic numbers, but by what actually reaches the business: qualified inquiries and concrete project opportunities.
Building competence, not dependency
Our goal is for our clients to be able to manage SEO independently in the long run. We share knowledge rather than keeping it to ourselves.
Honest collaboration
If something doesn’t make sense, we say so. We don’t promise what we can’t deliver, and we only recommend what actually works.
