Key Criteria for Choosing a Web Agency

Choosing a web agency should never be based on price alone. Here are the essential criteria to evaluate:

1. Portfolio and References

Look at the websites the agency has already built. Are they fast? Is the design polished? Do they match your industry? A varied, high-quality portfolio is a strong signal.

2. Technologies Used

WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or custom development? Each technology has its strengths and limitations. For a simple showcase website, a CMS may suffice. For an ambitious project with advanced local SEO, custom development makes the difference.

3. Support and Follow-Up

A good website doesn't end at launch. Who handles maintenance? Security updates? Content evolution? Ask these questions before signing.

4. Hosting and Data Location

In Switzerland, data localisation is increasingly important. Hosting on Swiss servers builds client trust and improves response times for local visitors.

5. Local SEO

Your website must be visible to people searching for your services in your area. Make sure the agency masters local SEO: Google Business Profile, geo-targeted keywords, optimised local pages.

6. Pricing Transparency

Beware of vague quotes. A good agency clearly explains what's included, what's not, and what the recurring costs will be (hosting, maintenance, domain name).

Why Local SEO Is Crucial for Palézieux Businesses

If you're a local business — restaurant, tradesperson, medical practice, shop — your customers are searching for you on Google. And they're searching locally:

• "web agency Palézieux"
• "website creation Oron"
• "web designer Lavaux-Oron"

Appearing in the top results for these queries means capturing customers who already intend to buy. Local SEO isn't a luxury — it's a profitable investment.

The Pillars of Local SEO

• Google Business Profile: a complete, up-to-date profile is essential
• Optimised local pages: each service should have a dedicated page mentioning your geographic area
• Customer reviews: Google reviews are one of the most important local ranking factors
• A technically flawless website: loading speed, mobile compatibility, structured data (JSON-LD)
• Relevant content: blog posts, case studies, local guides — content that demonstrates your on-the-ground expertise
