Which performance marketing agency is the best fit for you?
Performance marketing in Aarau is shaped by the cantonal administration of Aargau, the FHNW, energy provider AEW, Mobiliar Aargau and a strong mid-market along the A1 corridor. Its central position between Zurich, Bern and Basel makes Aarau a natural hub for mid-sized B2B performance mandates.
The Aarau performance market is pragmatic and results-driven. Many clients operate nationally rather than with a purely regional focus. That shapes the agency landscape: many boutiques serve both the Aargau SME base and national B2B mandates.

Find the right performance marketing agency via briefing→Aarau has a performance landscape strongly shaped by the mid-market and the cantonal administration. AEW Energie, Mobiliar Aargau, the FHNW and the cantonal administration define the upper mid-market tier.
Structurally, three types shape the Aarau market: first, generalist mid-market performance agencies with Aargau SME experience (5-20 people); second, solo PPC specialists; third, nationally oriented boutiques that operate across Switzerland from their Aarau base.
For most Aarau SMEs, category 1 or 2 is the right choice. Hourly rates typically sit at CHF 110 to 200.

Aarau hourly rates for performance mandates typically sit between CHF 110 and 200. Recommended media budget for serious B2C campaigns starts at CHF 2'800 per month, B2B campaigns from CHF 6'000.
The agency fee typically runs as a percentage of media spend (10-18%) or a fixed retainer (CHF 1'500 to 7'500 per month). One-off setup fee of CHF 1'800 to 9'000.
What you should avoid as an Aarau SME: paying Zurich hourly rates for a regional mandate. The Mittelland has capable solo PPC specialists and 2-10-person teams.
Hourly rates in Aarau CHF 110-200.
1-2 platforms, Local Service Ads.
Google, Meta and LinkedIn in parallel.
Dedicated team, server-side tracking.
Performance agencies differ not in the ad platforms they use but in their analytical depth. Ask about the tracking setup (GA4, GTM, server-side, Consent Mode v2) and the reporting format.
Ask to see case studies from your industry. An agency that only handles Zurich corporate mandates calculates differently than it would for an SME in Suhr or an industrial mid-market firm in the Reuss valley.
Equally important: the ad accounts must run under your company's name.
Work through these seven points in concrete terms before signing the contract.
Which performance marketing approach works best for you depends heavily on your industry and business model.
