Build your visibility your way, by category, city and canton
Who's it for?
Turn a qualified audience into local visibility for your brand
You don't need to sell here to get found: position your brand in the categories, cities and cantons that matter to you, whether you're in Geneva, Lausanne, Valais, Zurich or Ticino.
- A restaurant reaches the customers searching for somewhere to eat in its town.
- A beauty salon appears in the «care & beauty» category and gets known nearby.
- A winemaker becomes visible across its entire canton and beyond.
Food makers like cheesemakers or bakers, trades like electricians, plumbers or landscapers, local services like hairdressers, florists, caterers or photographers: if your customers search for you online, you have your place here.

Get found when your customers are looking for you.
Become visible online in your area: show up when buyers near you search for what you offer, on Google and in everyday searches.
Search engines

AI assistants
More and more purchases start with a question to an AI (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini…). You can be cited and recommended there.
A qualified local audience
Buyers in your region explore direct sales every day, by category and town. Your brand is in the right place to reach them.
Beyond borders. Your listings also reach an international audience searching for Swiss products in French, German, Italian or English.
Tiers
Two visibility tiers, chosen placement by placement
For each category, city or canton, choose the tier that suits you. You invest where it matters most: enhanced visibility on your priorities, standard everywhere else.
Standard
A compact card with your brand dot, your name and the link to your site.
- Dot in your colours or icon
- Brand name
- Link to your site
Enhanced visibility
A featured card with your visual in large format: maximum impact for your brand.
- Large-format visual / logo
- Boosted position
- Name + link to your site
Pricing
You pay per placement
A category's price depends on how precise it is; cities and cantons are fixed price. Example figures in CHF/month.
Estimate your budget
Indicative estimate: enhanced visibility is chosen placement by placement, and your exact price shows at configuration.

Frequently asked questions
I offer services: can I advertise on Mimelis?
Yes. Even if you don't sell a product, you can showcase your business and the services you offer. For example, a landscaper in Geneva can appear in the city of Geneva and in the "Services" category, in front of people looking for a provider near them. You choose the cities, cantons and categories where you want to be visible.
Can I manage multiple brands from a single account?
Yes. From a single account, you can manage multiple brands, each with its own identity (name, color, icon, link), and a single brand can cover multiple categories, cities and cantons — each ad is managed independently.
Where does the audience that will see my brand come from?
Mimelis pages are designed for search engine optimization (SEO) to help users find the products they're looking for: your future customers find you through search engines (Google, Bing, etc.), increasingly via AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, etc.), and directly on the platform. Your listings also reach an international audience searching for Swiss products in French, German, Italian, and English.
Who can sponsor their brand on Mimelis?
Sponsored spaces are open to all businesses: producers, shops, artisans, service providers, brands, and associations. You don't need to sell on Mimelis, or even be eligible to sell on the platform—simply choose the categories, cities, and cantons where you want to be visible in Switzerland.
How long does it take for my ads to go live?
You can create your space in minutes: name, logo, color, and link. Your ads are then published after a brief, usually very quick, review. There's no commitment: you can activate, modify, pause, or cancel at any time from your dashboard.
How am I billed for my ads?
Billing is monthly, charged to your registered payment method, based on your active ads. If you add an ad or upgrade to enhanced visibility during the month, the amount will be prorated until the next billing cycle. In case of cancellation, your ads will remain visible until the end of the period already paid for.
How much does sponsorship cost and what are the levels of visibility?
Two levels are available, to be chosen location by location: the standard level (a compact card with your logo, name, and link) and enhanced visibility (your image in a larger format and a prominent position). You invest more in your priority target audiences and remain at the standard level everywhere else.
Can I add a link to my company's website?
Yes. You specify the link of your choice, displayed on your card: it can lead to your website, your e-commerce store, your producer page, or your Mimelis store. The buyer then arrives directly at your site.
Where does my local advertisement appear?
Your brand appears in sponsored spaces that shoppers see when they explore a product category, city, or region. This ensures you're present at the precise moment your customers are searching for what you offer.
