What Netpulse does

Netpulse AG is a privately held Swiss online marketing agency headquartered in Winterthur, founded in 2008, that delivers integrated digital marketing services to Swiss small and mid-market businesses. Its service portfolio spans four core pillars — search engine optimization (SEO), search engine advertising (SEA via Google Ads and Microsoft Ads), social media marketing, and web design/UX — supplemented by e-commerce marketing, web analytics (GA4, GTM, Looker Studio), and Google Business Profile optimization. The agency's technology stack is built primarily on certified third-party platforms (Google Marketing Platform, Microsoft Advertising, Duda, Shopify, WooCommerce, Hotjar) augmented by two proprietary assets: the Amigo / Amigo Cento client transparency and Google CSS integration dashboard, and the SCORE keyword research framework.

The business model is a hybrid of monthly managed-service retainers and one-time project-based consulting. Netpulse bills clients directly for agency management fees (with 7.7% Swiss VAT and 30-day terms) while ad spend flows directly from clients to Google and Microsoft, so the agency does not handle media buying funds. Pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed, with a free initial potential analysis as the primary lead-conversion mechanism. Go-to-market is sales-led and inside-sales driven, executed through the company's own website, organic SEO, Google and Microsoft Ads campaigns, email newsletter, and partner certifications including Google Premier Partner and Microsoft Advertising Elite Partner 2026 status. Target customers are segmented into startups with growth ambition, growing mid-market companies, established Swiss brands undergoing digital transformation, and e-commerce businesses, all served from a single Winterthur location with an interdisciplinary specialist team of 11-50 employees.
