All year round
Visible all year, not just a few days
A trade fair lasts a few days, a newspaper ad one issue, a social media campaign as long as its budget. On Mimelis, your brand stays in place day after day: through the seasons, the holidays and the quieter periods, it is there whenever a customer looks for what you offer.

And when the crowds pick up?
Holidays, tourist season, back to school: that’s when your customers search the most.
Rotating screen or display
Your ad plays for a few seconds per loop, then makes way for the others, even at the busiest times.
Pay-per-click ads
More searches mean more billed clicks: your budget runs out faster, often right when it matters most.
Mimelis
Your brand appears on every visit to the page, at a fixed price. The more people come, the more it’s seen, at no extra cost.
Easy to launch, hassle-free after
No tedious setup or middleman to start, and nothing to manage once you're live.

Who's it for?
For Swiss shops, producers, artisans and brands.
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.
Visible online in your area
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
Get found online by buyers in your region: our pages are built for search visibility, and your future customers find you from Google, Bing or DuckDuckGo.
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.
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, a city's on its size and popularity; cantons are fixed price. Example figures in CHF/month.
1 placement = 4 advertising spaces. One page per language: four audiences, for a single price.
Estimate your budget
Indicative estimate: enhanced visibility is chosen placement by placement, and your exact price shows at configuration.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
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 online store or, if you sell on the platform, your Mimelis point of sale. The buyer then arrives directly at your site.
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. Whether you're a solo producer or a house with several names, you manage several brands from a single dashboard, each with its own identity (name, colour, icon, link). A single brand can also cover several categories, cities and cantons: each ad is managed independently, and you can activate, edit or pause it whenever you want.
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.
