Local marketing services for businesses & SMEs

To improve local visibility for your Swiss business or SME, we keep your Google Business Profile current, manage customer reviews and connect local content and paid campaigns to qualified enquiries, bookings or measurable shop visits.

The starting signal is written down before work begins, such as the first qualified enquiry, an attributable booking or measured additional revenue.

03The model is agreed before activation

Distribution, measurement and reporting

Swiss SMEs, independent professionals and local businesses

One signal per business

A practice does not assess a contact the same way as a shop. We define the useful action before the work starts, then apply the same rule throughout.

PR

Practices

Appointment enquiries and attributable calls, with factual content approved before publication.

SH

Shops

Visits, redeemed codes and sales linked to a local offer defined before the campaign.

RE

Restaurants

Bookings, orders and demand for the service or time slot the restaurant wants to fill.

TR

Trades & services

Qualified quote requests based on location, job type and the information needed to respond.

Built for Switzerland

Local communication

We account for the service area, language region, available capacity and the real sales path. Advertising cannot replace pricing, response time or the customer experience on site.

  • Swiss Standard German
  • Italian for Ticino and southern Switzerland
  • English for international customers

How Starkio is paid

After the first signal

Before launch, we agree the action, data source and time period. Performance-linked fees only work when your team can handle the contact and revenue can be assigned with reasonable confidence.

Before the agreed signal

There is no agency management fee for the defined setup. Any media budget required is paid directly by your business to the advertising platform.

A

For ongoing local presence

Subscription after activation

The monthly subscription begins after the first agreed signal. Scope, approvals and operating rhythm stay fixed and visible.

Starts when: the agreed signal is verified

Fee per qualified enquiry

You pay for enquiries that match the written location, service and qualification rules. Duplicates and contacts outside the criteria are excluded.

Billed on: accepted enquiries under the definition

Share of attributable revenue

Starkio receives an agreed share of additional revenue linked to the system. The baseline, percentage, period and exclusions are recorded in the agreement.

Before you start

Promises and conditions

What does “no fee before the signal” mean?

Starkio does not charge agency management fees for the setup defined in the agreement. If a campaign needs media spend, your business pays that amount directly to the platform.

What counts as a qualified enquiry?

It depends on the business. The definition can include location, service, valid contact details and a specific need. Those rules are written before launch and applied consistently.

How is a sale assigned to Starkio?

We only use agreed sources such as a form, tracked number, code, booking or point-of-sale record. If the link to the sale is unreliable, that sale should not be included in revenue sharing.

Does this fit every SME?

The model does not fit every SME, because it needs a defined offer, capacity to respond and usable measurement. If those conditions are missing, Starkio can begin by putting the local presence in order.

Your Starkio model

Define your signal

You will receive a proposal stating the action, measurement source, exclusions and fee model. We do not need access to your accounts for the first conversation.
