How We Score Each Agency
Every agency in the main list is based in Basel-Stadt. National dental agencies that work here are shown separately below it. We checked each one’s dental client work, public reviews, published results and terms before adding it, then read every client testimonial we could find. Only agencies that pass these checks are listed, so every DSA Score starts at 80. The other 20 depend on how many of the 100 points below each agency earns: DSA Score = 80 + points earned ÷ 5.
- Profile (up to 80 points). Five factors scored out of 20 each, then scaled to 80:
- Client reviews: a verified rating on Google, Clutch, G2, UpCity, Trustpilot or a similar platform
- Experience: years in business, a named founder or leader, and a dental or healthcare focus
- Client portfolio: how many dental clients the agency names publicly
- Published results: case studies with real figures, such as traffic, leads or revenue
- Transparency: published prices, clear contract terms, and a confirmed website and location
- Client feedback (up to 20 points). What clients actually say, from the testimonials we read on Google, independent review sites and the agency’s own website:
- Independent reviews (6): how many reviews we found that the agency doesn’t control
- Client satisfaction (8): how consistently clients praise the agency, adjusted so a handful of reviews can’t outscore a long track record
- Independent sources (4): how much of the feedback comes from Google and review sites rather than the agency’s own pages
- Dental clients (2): at least one review from a dental practice
- Verification. Client feedback points are reduced when reviews or agency details can’t be verified.
We summarise each client review in our own words and link to the original, so you can read it in full.
Price ranges are a guide based on published rates and typical fees for agencies of a similar profile. Always ask for a written quote.

Dental SEO in Basel: Frequently Asked Questions
The UZB on Mattenstrasse turned 100 in 2024. Has any Basel agency actually worked for it?
Yes. Mind Studios (Crome AG) did corporate design work for the University Centre for Dental Medicine Basel and lists the UZB as a client. It also gave Praxis Dr. Wagener, a local medical practice, a digital refresh. The agency was founded in 2004, sits at Hardstrasse 43 and has a team of about 23.
Hospital and pharma names on a client list would reassure our board. Where do those turn up among the Basel three?
Mostly at Sidekicks (Your Sidekicks AG). Its client list includes Unispital Basel, AstraZeneca and Fresenius Kabi, and it sells pharma social media monitoring as a separate service. Its main office is on Aeschenplatz, with more in Zurich and Buchs SG. Mind Studios also names Roche among its clients.
ChatGPT never mentions our clinic. Can a Basel firm change that?
All three Basel firms offer the work for it: Mind Studios, onlineKarma AG and Sidekicks each list GEO next to SEO and Google Ads. onlineKarma AG pairs it with local SEO and sets up server-side tracking alongside its ad campaigns. Sidekicks also runs server-side tracking, with campaign reporting dashboards.
Being a small owner-run practice, we'd rather deal with an owner-run agency. Any fit in Basel?
onlineKarma AG fits. It calls itself owner-managed, is led by Raphael Guldimann and says it has served the region since 2009 from Hebelstrasse 52. It works mainly for SMEs and non-profits, and one named client, PHS AG Spitex, provides home care and nursing staff. Testimonials on its site come from named clients such as Tanzfest.
Before shortlisting, I want to compare star ratings and day rates for the Basel agencies. What can I actually compare?
Not ratings or rates. There is no public rating we could verify for Mind Studios, onlineKarma AG or Sidekicks, and none publishes an hourly rate or package price. All three quote per project. What you can compare is partner status: all three are Google Partners, and Mind Studios is also a Yext Certified Partner for listing management.
