Quick answer
Across 7 comparable scheduled runs in the observation period (August 10–16, 2026), smapse.com holds the first organic position on the query "private school fees Switzerland" in the Premium Education Switzerland market, with a median rank of position 1 and presence in 7 of 7 comparable runs.
Key reading
Premium Education Switzerland · Geneva / Lausanne / Zurich · Organic search · August 10–16, 2026
smapse.com holds position 1 on "private school fees Switzerland" across all 7 runs in this window, followed by St. Georges International School Switzerland at position 2 and actonschweiz.ch at position 3 — the same three actors occupy the top-3 in every observation, with a maximum rank variance of 2 positions across the panel. The surface is structurally stable but narrow: only 3 of the 6 actors observed across the window appeared in all 7 runs. iszn.ch and myjourney.packimpex.com each appeared in 6 of 7 comparable runs, sitting at position 4 and position 5 respectively. The spread from first to fifth covers 4 positions — a compressed field on this single query, where positional grip matters more than any single-run fluctuation.

How the actors read on the surface
Premium Education Switzerland · Geneva / Lausanne / Zurich · Organic search · August 10–16, 2026
smapse.com holds the first organic position on this query with a median of position 1 across the window, present in 7 of 7 comparable runs. On a query explicitly about school fees in Switzerland, the top organic slot belongs to a domain that is not itself an educational institution — a structural fact about how Google surfaces this intent.
St. Georges International School Switzerland
St. Georges International School Switzerland appears at the second organic position on this query, with a median of position 2 and presence in 7 of 7 comparable runs. It is the only actor in the top-5 whose name identifies it as a school, and its grip on position 2 has been consistent across every run in the window.
actonschweiz.ch appears at the third organic position on this query, present in 7 of 7 comparable runs. Its sustained position 3 across the full window makes it part of the stable top-3 core, sitting immediately behind the only institutional name in the upper ranks.
iszn.ch appears at the fourth organic position on this query with a median of position 4, present in 6 of 7 comparable runs. Its single absent run is the only gap in an otherwise consistent showing across the window.
myjourney.packimpex.com appears at the fifth organic position on this query, present in 6 of 7 comparable runs. A relocation-services subdomain occupying the bottom of the top-5 on a school-fees query is a notable surface composition signal.
Pattern on the observed surface

The top-5 on "private school fees Switzerland" is structural
The top-5 on "private school fees Switzerland" is structurally locked. The same 3 actors hold the top-3 across the entire 7-run window, and the maximum rank variance across all actors is 2 positions. The surface splits into two tiers of presence: 3 actors appeared in all 7 runs and 2 actors appeared in 6 of 7 runs. With a total spread of 4 positions from first to fifth, the panel is compressed — there is no large gap separating any adjacent pair. The composition itself is diverse: the top-5 mixes domains of different types, with only one bearing an institutional school name.
Why this reading matters
Premium Education Switzerland · Geneva / Lausanne / Zurich · Organic search · August 10–16, 2026
smapse.com — the rank-1 actor on this query across the full window — is not an educational institution but a domain that aggregates school information. On a query as commercially specific as "private school fees Switzerland," the sustained organic lead of such a domain over institutional sites is a surface-composition signal worth monitoring.
Market implication
Premium Education Switzerland · Geneva / Lausanne / Zurich · Organic search · August 10–16, 2026
This observation suggests that on the specific query "private school fees Switzerland," the organic surface in Switzerland is structurally stable and not contested at the top. The same top-3 held across all 7 runs, which means any actor seeking to displace them faces a locked surface rather than a volatile one. The presence of non-institutional domains at positions 1, 3, and 5 signals that Google's organic ranking for this fee-related intent is shaped by content breadth rather than institutional identity alone.

FAQ

- iszn.ch and myjourney.packimpex.com each appeared in 6 of 7 comparable runs. In one run during the window, each was absent from the top-5 organic results for this query. The card does not infer a trend from this single absence.
