French AI search & LLM optimisation
Since 2002
300+ clients
French-speaking buyers increasingly ask AI assistants to compare suppliers and recommend products. We help make sure your business is clearly and accurately understood in French.
AI visibility
AI systems answer in the language of the question and draw on sources in that language. If your French presence is a thin translation, or describes your business differently from your English site, AI assistants have less to go on when a French buyer asks for a recommendation.
French buyers also expect precise, well-argued information. Content that answers comparison and suitability questions clearly, in natural French, is more useful to both people and AI systems.
Services
One consistent description of who you are and what you offer, across French pages and profiles.
The terms buyers use in France, Belgium, Switzerland or Canada, not literal translations.
French pages that directly answer the questions buyers ask AI assistants.
Schema that states your organisation, services and locations in machine-readable form.
French pages that are crawlable, fast and correctly signalled by language and region.
Identifying French-language publications and directories where you should be referenced.
AI search and SEO
AI search optimisation complements French SEO. Crawlable pages, clear structure and authoritative content serve both. The added emphasis is on consistency of facts, entity signals and direct answers.
We do not promise that ChatGPT or Google's AI features will cite you; no one can. We remove the obstacles to being understood and track visibility where tools allow.
