2026 study: are small-business websites ready for AI? Read the studyFR

38,802 small-business sites checked: 97% never tell AI their exact trade

AI recommends your competitors. Let’s change that.

When a customer asks ChatGPT or Google AI which tradesperson, restaurant or hotel to pick, I make sure your business is in the answer — on your current site, or on a new site built for AI.

Why AI names your competitors, and how I put you back in the answer

Today

Customers ask AI. It answers without you.

ChatGPT, Google AI and Copilot name only a few businesses per question. If AI doesn’t understand yours, it isn’t one of them.

After my work

Your name when someone asks “[trade] in [city]”

I start from the questions your customers really ask and make your site citable for each one.

Today

A site AI reads as an empty card

Most small-business sites call themselves a “local business”: no trade, no services, no service area.

After my work

Your trade, services and areas, spelled out

Precise structured data on every page, an AI-readable FAQ, declared reviews.

Today

AI crawlers have nothing to read

No rules for GPTBot or ClaudeBot, no summary of your business written for AI.

After my work

The door wide open to AI engines

AI crawlers allowed and an llms.txt file that introduces your business in a few lines.

Today

Promises, no measurement

A 40-page SEO report won’t tell you whether ChatGPT recommends you.

After my work

Same questions after 30 days, results in black and white

I re-run the 10 audit questions and show you the ones you now win.

Today

Every setting goes through a ticket

Your web provider takes weeks to change a setting that matters for AI.

After my work

One person, from start to finish

You talk to the person doing the work. I handle it all with an editor login, or prepare the files for your web provider.

Out of 38,802 small-business websites in France built by nine web providers, checked in October 2026: under 0.1% have an llms.txt file that describes the business, 1% an AI-readable FAQ, and 97% never tell AI their exact trade. Read the study

Two ways to win AI search

Keep your website and optimize it — or move to a site built for AI from day one.

01 GEO optimization

Your current site, made readable by AI

For businesses whose site works but that AI ignores.

  • Your trade and services as structured data
  • Citable answer-pages for lost queries
  • AI-crawler access + llms.txt
  • 30-day re-audit

02 Website redesign

A site built for AI, that you own

For rented sites, sites locked by the provider, or contracts coming to an end.

  • Custom design, instant load
  • All GEO built in by design
  • Code and domain in your name
  • Editable by you — or managed by me

Sorry, big chains. This isn’t for you

SEO agencies are built for groups with a marketing team. I built this for businesses that live on local customers.

Made for you if…

  • You run an independent business that lives on local customers
  • You want a measured result, not jargon
  • Your site is rented, or locked by your web provider
  • You prefer a fixed price to a forced subscription
  • Building trades
  • Restaurants & caterers
  • Hotels & guesthouses
  • Shops
  • Garages
  • Lawyers & accountants
  • Real-estate agencies
  • Beauty & wellness
  • Architects
  • Health practices

Not for you if…

  • You are a national chain with an in-house SEO team
  • You expect an 80-page report rather than a result
  • You are looking for fake reviews or shortcuts
  • You want to rank first everywhere within a week

Why me

I spent years in sales, working directly with owners of hotels, shops and independent businesses. I speak your language, not marketing jargon.

I’m not a generic web agency. I focus on one thing that’s changing fast: getting businesses recommended inside AI answers.

How much does it cost?

The audit is free. GEO optimization is a one-time €1,500, 30-day re-audit included. Monthly tracking (€600/mo) is optional. A website redesign is quoted on the number of pages and languages.

What is GEO?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) makes your business understandable and citable by AI engines like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot, so they recommend it when a customer asks.

What kind of business is it for?

Any business that lives on local customers: building trades, restaurants, hotels, shops, garages, law and accounting firms, real-estate agencies, beauty salons…

Do I need a new website?

No. GEO is done on your current site. A redesign only makes sense when your provider blocks essentials (robots, structured data, llms.txt).

Will I own the site?

Yes. Code, content and domain name are in your name.

Is the audit really free?

Yes. A one-page PDF with the 10 questions tested and 3 priority fixes. No commitment.
