What we run for Los Angeles businesses
SEO and AI visibility
Google Business Profile
A city of neighborhoods, not one market
Nobody searches for a plumber in "Los Angeles." They search in Silver Lake, Sherman Oaks, Culver City, Long Beach or Pasadena. The metro area stretches from the San Fernando Valley to Orange County, and a customer in Santa Monica rarely drives to Glendale for a service they can find nearby. We structure campaigns and pages around the neighborhoods and suburbs you actually serve. Geographic targeting gets drawn around your real service area, not the county line, so your budget is not spent on clicks from forty miles away that will never become jobs.
Click prices reflect LA competition
Los Angeles auctions are crowded, and the bidders are not just local. Personal injury firms with billboard budgets, Beverly Hills med spas, Westside realtors, and national home-service brands all compete for the same queries. In this environment, broad keywords and loose match types drain budgets quickly. Our approach is narrow: precise match types, negative keyword lists maintained weekly, and bids aligned with what a lead is actually worth to your business. Geography does extra work here, because a customer in Torrance will not drive to Burbank for a service they can find nearby. You see the cost per lead in your monthly report, in plain numbers: calls, form fills, and what each one cost.
Spanish-language search is part of the market
Los Angeles is home to one of the largest Spanish-speaking populations in the United States, and in neighborhoods from Boyle Heights to Huntington Park to large parts of the Valley, Spanish is the first language of search. For trades, restaurants, clinics, and home services, ignoring those queries means ignoring a real portion of local demand. Where it fits your business, we run separate Spanish ad groups with their own keywords and ad copy, written the way Angelenos actually phrase the search rather than run through automatic translation. Your Google Business Profile can carry both languages too. This is not a gimmick. It is a straightforward way to compete for searches your rivals may be leaving on the table.
Tourist intent versus local intent
Millions of visitors search in Los Angeles every year, from Hollywood and Venice Beach to downtown. For a restaurant or a tour operator, that traffic is the point. For a dentist, an HVAC company or an accountant, it is noise that can eat a budget. We separate the two deliberately: campaigns aimed at visitors when your business wants them, and filters that screen out transient searches when it does not. Seasonality gets the same treatment. Summer travel, awards season and event weekends change search behavior here, and budgets should follow that rhythm, not ignore it.
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 Los Angeles business owners
How does working with a team in France actually work for an LA business?+
France is nine hours ahead of Los Angeles. In practice, that works in your favor: we review your campaigns, clean up search terms and adjust bids during our afternoon, which is before your workday begins. Calls are booked in your morning, which is our evening. All written communication is in English, and your monthly report is in English with real numbers: calls, form fills, cost per lead.
Who owns the Google Ads account and the ad budget?+
You do, always. The account is created under your business or transferred to it, and it stays yours if we part ways. Your ad budget is paid by you directly to Google, never through us. Our management fee is separate and transparent. You can see every dollar of spend inside your own account at any time.
Can you guarantee first-page rankings or a specific number of leads?+
No, and we would be careful with anyone who does. Rankings and lead volume depend on competition, your website, your reviews and your budget, none of which any agency fully controls. What we commit to is the work: certified campaign management, honest monthly reporting, and a free visibility audit up front so you can judge the opportunity before spending anything.
Will you also work with my competitors in Los Angeles?+
No. We take one client per trade per area, and that exclusivity is written into the contract. If we manage Google Ads for your plumbing company in the Valley, we will not take another plumber in the same area. In a market as crowded as LA, we think working both sides of an auction is a conflict of interest.
What does the free audit include and what happens after?+
The audit reviews your current visibility: how you appear in Google search, in Google Ads if you are running them, on your Google Business Profile, and whether AI answers like ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews mention you. It is delivered within 48 hours with no obligation. If you decide to work with us, there is no long-term contract: you can cancel anytime with 30 days notice.
We start by looking at where you stand in Los Angeles
The audit is free and carries no obligation. You get it within 48 hours: your profile, your site, your three best-placed competitors, and what AI assistants answer about your trade in Los Angeles.
