Wortspiel is a boutique agency for Google Ads and conversion optimization in Zürich, Switzerland. As a Google Premier Partner, we help companies to win more customers faster and more cost-efficient.
We don’t aim to become the largest agency, but rather the best. That’s why we rely on an experienced team and clear values.
So far we had the privilege of working with WordPress, Swisscom and American Express, among others. Maybe soon with you too:

Top performance is only possible with a high degree of specialisation. Therefore, we intentionally only offer the following three services. For everything else, we rely on strong partners.
In the video series Wortspiel.TV we celebrate what our clients have achieved with our help.
In the first episode we spoke with Wortspiel customer Laurent Decrue, co-founder and CEO of the largest Swiss relocation startup, MOVU.
Laurent explained how MOVU had become a market leader within a short period of time; how much of this success could be attributed to our Google Ads expertise and why he loves to ski.

Friendliness
Cooperation can only work well if we’re aligned on a personal level. We value honesty, humility and authenticity.
Freedom
Trust is more important to us than contracts. As long as both parties are happy and continue to evolve together, we will keep working together. If this changes we will part ways.
Focus
The marketing landscape is changing so fast that long-term top performance is only possible with a high degree of specialisation. We prefer to do less and do it as well as possible.
We are happy to share our experience at conferences and universities. Here are the next speeches and courses with our participation – you can find a complete list in our calendar of events:
