New International Platform for Swiss Business Data: CompanyDirectory.ch Goes Live

The new website targets investors, business partners, media, researchers, and international users seeking targeted Swiss companies, start-ups, and economic information.

Currently, the focus is on regional overview pages for major economic hubs in Switzerland, including Zurich, Bern, Basel, Geneva, Lucerne, and Zug.

The platform serves as an international entry point to the Swiss economy and complements HELP Media AG's existing network.

More than 750,000 Swiss companies in the background The underlying database encompasses over 750,000 active Swiss company profiles.

The information is sourced from proprietary data prepared by HELP Media AG as well as official public registers and economic data sources like SHAB, the Commercial Register, Zefix, IGE, and other structured data sources.

This data is continuously processed, structured, and prepared for various digital platforms.

This allows for the daily publication of new company formations, changes, deletions, trademark information, address data, and company profiles.

International entry, local company details While CompanyDirectory.ch is designed as an English-language international entry point, detailed company profiles and local business information are provided through the established platform YellowPages.swiss.

Users can navigate from regional overview pages directly to the respective local directories and company profiles.

This connects international visibility with the locally established data infrastructure of HELP Media AG, providing international users with easy access to Swiss business data while maintaining depth of detail.

AI visibility becomes a new competitive factor In addition to traditional search engine discoverability, visibility in AI-based search and answer systems is becoming increasingly important for businesses.

Systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overviews are increasingly relying on structured, trustworthy, and thematically clear company information.

In this environment, complete company profiles gain further relevance. Companies that have a website, contact details, company description, logo, location information, and clearly structured performance details online increase their chances of being visible and recognized as a trustworthy source in modern AI systems.

As early as April 13, 2026, Swiss-Press.com pointed out in the specialist article 'AI Visibility for Swiss SMEs: Why a Complete Company Profile Becomes Essential Today' this development, explaining why a complete company profile is becoming increasingly strategically important for Swiss SMEs.

With CompanyDirectory.ch, this development is now being consistently extended to international and English-speaking users.

The new platform creates an additional access point for Swiss business data, thereby simultaneously enhancing the digital visibility of companies both in traditional search engines and AI- based search environments.

Strategic expansion of international visibility With the launch of CompanyDirectory.ch, HELP Media AG expands its international presence in the field of structured economic data and business directories.

The platform is specifically targeted at English-language search queries and international digital visibility.

In particular, for search engines, AI-based search systems, and international business research, this creates a new entry point for Swiss business data.

The regionally structured pages for cities and economic areas like Zurich, Basel, or Geneva further strengthen topical relevance and visibility.

Part of HELP Media AG's digital platform network HELP Media AG has been operating various established online platforms in Switzerland for many years. These include help.ch, YellowPages.swiss, Swiss-Press.com, Eventkalender.ch, Adressenshop.ch, and Unternehmensindex.ch.

With CompanyDirectory.ch, this network is now strategically expanded to include an international English-language access point.

The goal is to make Swiss companies, start-ups, and economic data even more detectable for international audiences.
