Zurich Google Premier Partner agency with SEO, paid media and a healthcare patient-acquisition offer
About Fire8
Fire8 is the online marketing brand of FIREGROUP GmbH, based at Hottingerstrasse 12 in Zurich, close to the Kunsthaus. The Zurich branch was entered in the commercial register in 2021 as part of a company headquartered in Wollerau; the company was founded in 2001 and has more than 21 years in the market. The team has 26-plus people, with more than 200 completed projects and an average client relationship of about five years. Christian, Head of Marketing Services, is the named first contact, and the agency works in German and English.
Their service list is broad. Paid media covers Google Ads search, display and shopping, YouTube, Microsoft Advertising, Meta, LinkedIn, Pinterest and programmatic buying. Organic work covers SEO audits, SEO site relaunches, content marketing and GEO and LLMO for AI search. They also offer social media consulting, digital analytics and AI marketing including GA4 and Looker Studio dashboards, workshops, Google Ad Grants management for non-profits and full website builds. SEO makes up about 30% of the work, with strategy and PPC at 15% each.
Healthcare has its own industry page aimed at hospitals, medical centres, clinics and practices that want new patients and better use of capacity. It combines healthcare SEO, search advertising, social media for patient engagement, omnichannel campaigns and patient-base analytics, with an emphasis on tracking KPIs. Supporting articles cover Google reviews for medical practices and E-A-T in healthcare SEO. Their review advice is practical: ask within 24 hours of the appointment and before the bill arrives, use a short Google Business Profile link or QR code, involve reception staff and take complaints into a private channel.
Their healthcare proof comes from eye care rather than dentistry. For Lentics Augenärzte, an ophthalmology group, Google Ads with appointment tracking produced 35% more new-patient enquiries and an 83% appointment rate and helped fill new locations. For the ClearVision eye laser centre, YouTube campaigns featuring sports influencers led to 138% more new patients at a lower cost per patient. Other results include a doubling of traffic for the job portal Talendo, over 1,000 new top-ten rankings after a relaunch for Mobileup and more than 150% visibility recovery for Moneyland after a Google core update.
Fire8 is a Google Premier Partner, a Microsoft Partner and a Meta Business member, and holds a Clutch Top SEO Company Switzerland 2025 badge. Their single Clutch review, from a Zurich financial comparison company, gives 5.0 and praises the team's skills, project management and value for money. Rates run $150-$199 per hour with a $1,000 minimum project. No packages are published. They suit Swiss dental clinics, especially multi-site or self-pay focused practices, that want paid search and SEO run together in German.
