The service in detail
Search engine marketing: what the service includes
Who it's for: Businesses, freelancers, shops, online stores, startups and organizations that want more customers coming from Google, maps, videos or AI assistants: whether your website is new, being redesigned or has been online for years, in one language or several, for a single neighborhood or for several countries.
01
SEO: organic search
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) means getting your website to appear in the free results on Google and Bing, the ones shown below the ads. Nobody pays to be there: search engines rank the pages they consider the most useful, trustworthy and fast. It is long-term work whose effects last well beyond the effort.
- Full audit of your website and current rankings
- Action plan prioritized by impact and effort
- Implementation of the technical, content, on-page and off-page work described below
- Monthly tracking of rankings, traffic and leads generated
What you get: visitors arriving every day while searching for exactly what you offer, without paying for every click.
02
SEA: paid search
SEA (Search Engine Advertising) refers to the paid ads shown at the top of Google and Bing results, or in Google Shopping. You pay per click and your ads appear from day one: ideal for launching an offer, testing a market or supporting SEO while it gains momentum.
- Creation and structure of Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising campaigns
- Choice of keywords, bids, locations and ad schedules
- Ads and landing pages written to convert
- Conversion tracking and weekly optimization
What you get: immediate visibility, a controlled budget and the real cost of every lead or sale.
03
SEM: your overall search strategy
SEM (Search Engine Marketing) is the term that brings SEO and SEA together. Rather than handling them separately, we manage them as one: ads cover the searches where you don't rank well yet, then the budget shrinks as organic search takes over.
- Keywords split between organic and paid
- No paying twice for searches where you already rank first
- Ad data guides which content to create
- A single dashboard for both channels
What you get: a complete presence on search engines, for the most efficient budget.
04
GEO: get cited by AI
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) targets assistants that write an answer instead of showing a list of links: ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity and Google's AI answers. These tools cite the sources they understand and trust. GEO makes your website easy for them to read, verify and cite.
- Testing what AI tools currently answer about your field and your competitors
- Factual, dated and sourced content that AI tools can reuse
- Structured data and an llms.txt file that describe your business
- Configuring AI crawler access (GPTBot, Google-Extended, Bingbot) according to your choices
- Regular tracking of your citations in AI answers
What you get: your business recommended, with its link, when someone asks an AI.
05
AEO: the direct answer
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) targets answers given without a click: the box at the top of Google, “People also ask”, voice assistants. The goal is to write the best short answer to a specific question on your website, so the engine reuses it as is and cites you.
- Identifying the questions your customers actually ask
- Short, clear answers, followed by the details
- FAQ pages, definitions, tables and numbered steps
- FAQ and HowTo structured data where relevant
What you get: your answer displayed first, above all other results.
06
Local SEO
Local SEO covers location-based searches, such as “web developer in Lyon”, “dentist near me” or “restaurant open now”. The results come mainly from Google Maps and business listings. It is decisive for a shop, a practice, branch offices or a service area.
- Creating or optimizing your Google Business Profile and Bing Places listings
- Consistent name, address and phone number across directories
- Dedicated pages for each city or location
- Customer review strategy and reply templates
What you get: your business visible on maps and in searches across your area.
07
International SEO
International SEO helps you get found in several countries and languages. Without a rigorous structure, your versions compete with each other or show up in the wrong country. We also adapt keywords to each market: people don't search with the same words in Paris, Montreal or Dakar.
- Choosing the structure: subfolders, subdomains or country domains
- Hreflang tags and translated page URLs
- Keyword research specific to each language and country
- Content adapted to each market, not a word-for-word translation
What you get: the right version of your website, in the right language, for each target country.
08
Technical SEO
Technical SEO ensures that crawlers can explore, understand and index your website, and that it is fast on mobile. It is the foundation: without it, even the best content stays invisible. Because we are developers too, we make the fixes ourselves instead of leaving you with a list of recommendations.
- Crawling and indexing: robots.txt, XML sitemap, canonicals, 301 redirects
- Speed and Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS)
- Mobile version, HTTPS and security
- Server-side rendering or prerendering for JavaScript sites (Angular, React, Vue)
- 404 errors, duplicates, redirect chains and orphan pages
What you get: a healthy, fast website that search engines and AI can fully read.
09
Content SEO
Content SEO means answering your customers' questions better than your competitors do, using the words they use. Each page gets a precise role: one topic, one search intent, a clear structure. Useful, up-to-date content is also what AI tools cite most.
- Keyword and search intent research
- Organizing topics into coherent clusters
- Editorial calendar and writing briefs
- Writing or rewriting pages and articles
- Updating content that is losing rankings
What you get: pages that truly answer your customers' searches and turn them into leads.
10
On-page SEO
On-page SEO covers everything that is set within each page: the title shown in Google, the description, the subheadings, the links between your pages, the page URLs. These are details, but they often decide whether people click on your result rather than your neighbor's.
- Title tags and meta descriptions written to make people want to click
- H1 to H3 heading structure
- Internal linking between complementary pages
- Short, readable page URLs
- Structured data suited to each page type
What you get: more attractive results in Google and more clicks at the same ranking.
11
Off-page SEO
Off-page SEO covers everything that happens outside your website: links from other sites to yours (backlinks), mentions of your brand, your reviews and your reputation. For Google and AI alike, these are trust signals. We build them cleanly, never with bulk-bought links that expose you to a penalty.
- Audit of your inbound links and cleanup of toxic links
- Partnerships, guest articles and digital PR
- Recovering lost links and unlinked mentions
- Presence in recognized directories and sources in your industry
What you get: a strong online reputation that lifts your entire website.
12
Video SEO
Video SEO aims to get your videos showing on YouTube, in Google's Videos tab and in standard results. YouTube is itself one of the most widely used search engines in the world, and a well-optimized video attracts visitors for years.
- YouTube titles, descriptions, chapters and keywords
- Subtitles and transcripts, which search engines read
- Thumbnails that make people want to click
- Embedding on your website with VideoObject structured data
What you get: videos found on YouTube and in Google that send traffic to your website.
13
Image SEO
Image SEO helps you get found in Google Images and Google Lens, which are widely used for products, interior design, fashion, architecture and travel. Well-named, well-described and lightweight images also improve the speed and accessibility of the whole site.
- Descriptive file names and alt text
- Compression and modern formats (WebP, AVIF)
- Sizes adapted to each screen and lazy loading
- Image sitemap and structured data
What you get: extra visitors from image search, and faster pages.
14
E-commerce SEO
E-commerce SEO tackles the challenges specific to online stores: thousands of product pages, filters that create duplicates, out-of-stock items, descriptions copied from the supplier. We work on WooCommerce, Shopify, Odoo or your custom platform.
- Optimization of category and product pages
- Handling filters, pagination and sold-out products
- Price, availability and reviews visible in search results
- Product feeds for Google Merchant Center and Google Shopping
What you get: your products found in Google and Google Shopping, right when people are looking to buy.
Out of scope or optional
- No guaranteed top ranking: nobody controls Google's or AI algorithms, and we don't promise it
- Buying links and risky techniques (link farms, mass-generated content): never
- SEA advertising budget: paid by you, directly to Google or Microsoft
- Video and photo shoots: optional, on quotation

Audit and goals
We measure where you stand on search engines, maps and AI tools, and choose with you the types of search marketing that make sense.
What we do
- Technical crawl of the website
- Analysis of rankings, traffic and competitors
- Testing AI assistant answers about your field
Why this step: Without an initial assessment, it is easy to invest in search marketing actions that will have no effect. The audit shows where you stand on search engines, maps and AI assistants, and where the quickest wins are. You get a prioritized action plan suited to your budget and your markets.
How we proceed, line by line
- 1 We start with a video call about your business, your customers, your markets and your sales goals.
- 2 We crawl your website with an analysis tool to identify errors, blocked pages, slow pages and duplicates.
- 3 We analyze Search Console and your analytics tool to measure your current rankings, traffic and conversions.
- 4 We study the keywords your customers search for and how your competitors position themselves.
- 5 We ask several AI assistants about your field to see whether and how your business is cited.
- 6 We check your local presence, such as your business listing, if it is relevant to your activity.
- 7 We present the audit report and decide together which types of search marketing are useful and what the priorities are.
Who does what
An SEO consultant carries out the technical audit and keyword analysis, with a project manager who builds the action plan. You share your sales goals and approve the priorities and budget.
What you provide
- Access to Google Search Console and your analytics tool

Technical foundations
We fix whatever prevents search engines and AI tools from reading your website properly.
What we do
- Indexing, redirects and sitemap
- Speed and Core Web Vitals
- Structured data and llms.txt
Why this step: A slow, poorly indexed or hard-to-read website prevents search engines and AI tools from understanding your pages, however good they are. Fixing these foundations makes every subsequent action effective. You start from a healthy base, with a precise log of every change.
How we proceed, line by line
- 1 We rank the technical issues from the audit by impact and start with those that block indexing.
- 2 We fix indexing errors, broken redirects and duplicates, and update the sitemap and robots.txt file.
- 3 We improve speed and Core Web Vitals: images, script loading, caching and hosting.
- 4 We add structured data suited to your pages and an llms.txt file to guide AI assistants.
- 5 We apply changes to a test copy whenever possible, then to the live website.
- 6 We record every change in a shared log and check the results in Search Console and speed testing tools.
Who does what
A technical SEO consultant defines the fixes and a web developer applies them to the website. You give us the necessary access or liaise with your current technical provider.
What you provide
- Administrator access to your website, CMS or code
- Access to your hosting or the contact details of your technical provider
- Your agreement on the time slots for deploying changes
Deliverable

What we do
- Optimizing and creating priority pages
- Links and citations from recognized sources
- SEA campaigns, local listings, videos and images as planned
Why this step: Search engines and AI tools highlight pages that clearly answer questions and websites recognized by other sources. This step creates that content, builds your authority and activates paid campaigns if they are part of the plan. You gain lasting visibility, and nothing is published without your approval.
How we proceed, line by line
- 1 Every month, we choose with you the pages to optimize or create, based on the action plan's priorities.
- 2 We write or rewrite these pages to answer your customers' questions precisely, with carefully crafted titles and internal links.
- 3 We seek links and citations from recognized sources in your industry, without buying dubious links.
- 4 We update your local listings, videos and images with consistent descriptions and information.
- 5 If the plan includes SEA, we create the campaigns, ads and conversion tracking in your advertising account.
- 6 We submit every piece of content and every ad to you for review, then publish after your approval.

A web copywriter produces the content, the SEO consultant manages authority building and local SEO, and an SEA specialist runs the paid campaigns. You contribute your business expertise and approve every publication.
What you provide
- Your expertise on your products, services and your customers' frequent questions

- 1 We continuously track rankings for priority keywords, search traffic and conversions.
- 2 We ask AI assistants about your field again to track how your citations evolve.
- 3 We monitor Search Console alerts and react quickly to any unusual drop.
- 4 For SEA campaigns, we adjust bids, keywords and ads according to their profitability.
- 5 At the end of the month, we write an annotated report comparing results with the indicators agreed at the outset.
- 6 We present this report to you by video call and set the priorities for the following month together.

Search engine marketing: frequently asked questions
SEO, SEA, SEM, GEO, AEO: where should I start?
Almost always with technical and content SEO, because they also serve GEO and AEO. SEA comes in if you need immediate results, local SEO if you welcome customers on site, international SEO if you target several countries. The audit tells you exactly which ones are useful for you.
How long does it take to see results?
SEA ads are visible from day one. Technical fixes often take effect within a few weeks. Lasting progress in organic search generally takes three to six months of regular work: we show you the progress every month.
Do you guarantee the top spot on Google?
No, and be wary of anyone who does: nobody controls the algorithms. We commit to the work delivered, to transparency and to indicators we track together.
Can you work on a website you didn't build?
Yes: WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Odoo, Angular, React or a custom site. Because we are developers, we can make the fixes ourselves or pass them on to your provider with precise instructions.
Do you work with clients in every country?
Yes. We work remotely with clients around the world, in French, English, German and Italian, and we optimize websites for several markets and in several languages.
