SEO & GEO Consultant in Paris
TL;DR
As an SEO and GEO consultant for Paris brands, I build French-language visibility in Google and in AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Mistral's Le Chat and AI Overviews, and structure multilingual sites so France ranks properly. Engagements open with a one-week audit at roughly €1,400, then move into monthly work.

How I work with Paris teams
French SEO is its own discipline: keyword research must start in French, content must match French expectations of tone and detail, and links and mentions from French publications carry more weight than generic international ones. I build that French foundation, fix technical issues such as hreflang between France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada, and track how AI assistants describe your brand when asked in French.
What’s included
- AI visibility audit — how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews describe you and your competitors today
- Prompt set that tracks the questions your buyers actually ask AI assistants
- Entity consistency — name, description, offers, people and profiles aligned across the web
- Structured data (Organization, Service, Product, FAQ, Article) and an llms.txt file
- Answer-first content — pages that state the answer up front and back it with specifics
- Citation and brand-mention plan — directories, comparisons, reviews, communities and press
- Monthly AI visibility report alongside search and AI referral traffic
The Paris context
- The French tech scene, supported by initiatives such as La French Tech and campuses like Station F, produces many startups that must win at home before expanding across Europe.
- Consumer-facing communication in France is expected to be in French, and the Toubon law makes French versions of commercial offers and advertising a legal matter rather than a nice-to-have.
Tracking and data collection follow GDPR (RGPD), Loi Informatique et Libertés & CNIL cookie guidelines. The CNIL requires refusing cookies to be as easy as accepting them and has fined companies over non-compliant banners. It also allows certain audience-measurement tools to run without consent when configured strictly, which I use to keep essential analytics working while advertising tags wait for consent.

FAQ
SEO & GEO Consultant in Paris: FAQ
Why don't our English pages rank in France?
Because French users search in French and Google prefers pages that match their language and market. Translated English pages also miss local terminology. Proper fr-FR pages built on French keyword research usually outperform them quickly.
Does GEO work differently for French queries?
The principles are the same, but the sources differ. Assistants answering in French often cite French press, forums and comparison sites, so earning a presence there is essential to being recommended.
Do you work in French?
I lead strategy and analysis in English, and all French-language copy, ads and pages are written or reviewed by native French professionals. That keeps quality high and ensures nothing reads like a translation.
Can you invoice a French SAS or SARL?
Yes. I invoice in EUR or USD, and cross-border business-to-business services generally fall under reverse charge ('autoliquidation'), so your company accounts for French VAT; your expert-comptable confirms the entry.
