What we run for Houston businesses
SEO and AI visibility
Google Business Profile
A metro where bad geo-targeting gets expensive
Greater Houston covers more ground than some states. A campaign set loosely to "Houston" will happily spend money in Conroe for a plumber based in Pearland, and in Baytown for a dentist in Katy. We build campaigns around how the metro actually works: the Loop, Beltway 8, the Grand Parkway, and the suburbs beyond them. Service businesses get radius and zip code targeting matched to real drive times. Multi-location businesses get separate campaigns for Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Cypress, or wherever they operate, each with its own budget and its own numbers. Nothing exotic, just geography taken seriously.
B2B search in the energy capital
Houston is the energy capital of the world, and home to the Texas Medical Center and the Port of Houston. That shapes search here. An engineer specifying valves, a lab manager sourcing equipment, or a facilities director comparing industrial contractors does not click the first ad and call. They research for weeks, compare vendors, and increasingly ask ChatGPT or Perplexity for shortlists. For B2B companies in the Energy Corridor or along the Ship Channel, we build for that cycle: search campaigns for the buying moment, SEO content that answers technical questions, and structured pages that AI assistants can read and cite.
Demand that follows the weather
In Houston, seasonality is not subtle. Air conditioning runs most of the year, and when it fails in August the search happens within the hour. Hurricane season stretches from June through November, and one storm can send searches for roofers, restoration crews, fence repair, and generators surging overnight. Businesses that wait for the spike to start advertising pay peak prices for late clicks. We plan budgets around this calendar: steady presence in the slower months, room to scale when demand surges, and ad schedules that match when Houstonians actually pick up the phone. The weather sets the rhythm. The account should follow it.
A market that searches in two languages
Houston is one of the most diverse cities in the United States, and a meaningful share of the metro searches in Spanish. For contractors, auto shops, clinics, and law firms, an English-only campaign concedes part of the market to whoever shows up in both languages. Doing this properly takes more than translated headlines. It means Spanish keyword research, ads written in Spanish, a landing page in Spanish, and someone who can take the call in Spanish. We map which of your services draw bilingual demand and recommend Spanish campaigns only when you can serve the calls they bring in. Visibility you cannot answer is wasted spend.
A French team, on your clock
The ocean between us works for you
SEO et Ads is run from Quimper, on the western tip of France. That is not a detail we hide, it is how the service works: your campaigns are watched while your market sleeps.
Your account is tended before you wake up
France is 6 hours ahead of the East Coast and 9 ahead of the Pacific. Search term cleanups, bid adjustments and budget checks happen during our workday, which is your night. Problems are fixed before your morning coffee, not discovered after lunch.
Calls in your morning, every time
Your 8 to 11 am is our mid afternoon. Booking a call is easy, in English, and you get a written summary afterwards. No middle-of-the-night compromises on either side.
Everything measurable, nothing hidden
You own your Google Ads account and pay Google directly. We work inside it as a manager. Every dollar, every search term, every call is visible to you in real time, and summarized in plain English once a month.
Trained and certified by Google
The certifications, actually earned
The team completed the Google Skillshop training programs and passed the certifications. That guarantees no results. It guarantees something else: the people running your budget know exactly how the tool works, according to Google itself.

Questions from Houston business owners
How does working with a team based in France work day to day?+
France is seven hours ahead of Houston. We use that gap deliberately: campaign checks, bid adjustments, and cleanup happen before your workday starts, so problems are handled while you sleep. Calls are booked in your morning, which is our afternoon. All work and communication is in English, and in writing, so you keep a record of every decision.
Who owns the Google Ads account?+
You do, always. The account sits in your name, and your ad budget goes directly to Google on your own payment method. It never passes through us and we never mark it up. If we part ways, the account, its history, and everything we built in it stays with you.
Can you guarantee first page rankings or a set cost per lead?+
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Google does not sell guaranteed positions, and no honest agency promises them. What we commit to is the work and the transparency: a monthly report with real numbers, calls, form fills, and cost per lead, so you can judge the results yourself. There is no long-term contract. If it is not working for you, cancel with 30 days notice.
Do you also work for my competitors in Houston?+
No. We take one client per trade per area, and that exclusivity is written into the contract. If we work with a roofer in Katy, we do not take another roofer in Katy. Your campaign data and strategy are never recycled for a competitor.
What does the free audit include, and what is the catch?+
Within 48 hours you get a visibility audit: how you currently appear in Google search, in Google Maps, and in AI answers, and where the obvious gaps are. There is no catch and no obligation. If you take the audit and fix things on your own, that is a perfectly fine outcome.
