Studio · Founder
André Schulze.
Founder and owner of GOLDSTEIN.DIGITAL, a brand of netvalue GmbH in Hallau (SH), Switzerland. Self-employed for 15 years - as an entrepreneur in e-commerce and trade, as a hands-on SEO and SEM practitioner, and today as an AI expert and app developer.
In brief
I am André Schulze, business economist (DH) and Bachelor of Arts with Honours, and I run GOLDSTEIN.DIGITAL from Hallau in the canton of Schaffhausen. Everything the agency offers today, I first needed for my own businesses: websites that get found, ads that pay for themselves, shops and marketplace integrations that run without manual work, and software that takes over routine tasks.
That background shapes the work. My advice does not come from theory but from running my own projects every day - with the same tools, metrics and mistakes your business knows. Clients from Schaffhausen, the Klettgau, Winterthur, Zurich, Thurgau and southern Germany therefore work with me directly, not with a layer in between.
My focus lies where marketing, trade and technology meet. To me, a website is not an isolated design project but part of a system of Google visibility, paid ads, clean product data, interfaces and reporting. I know this interplay from 15 years of self-employment - and this is exactly where artificial intelligence offers the greatest leverage today: in recurring tasks, in data and in content.
