What we run for New York businesses
SEO and AI visibility
Google Business Profile
The cost of a click in New York
New York is one of the most competitive search markets in the United States. Law firms, medical practices, contractors, movers, and financial services all bid for the same screen. In a market like this, a loose account burns money quietly: broad match with no negative keywords, ads showing across all five boroughs when you only serve one, bids on searches you cannot win. Our answer is structure. Tight keyword groups, maintained negative keyword lists, geographic limits that match where you actually take jobs, and bids set from what a lead is worth to your business. In New York, discipline inside the account matters more than the size of the budget behind it.
Five boroughs, five different markets
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island behave like five separate markets. A plumber in Bay Ridge does not compete with one in Washington Heights, and someone searching in Astoria expects results from Queens, not Midtown. Add the commuters who search from a Manhattan office during the day and from New Jersey, Long Island, or Westchester in the evening. We build campaigns and local SEO at the level where your customers actually are: borough by borough, neighborhood by neighborhood. That means a Google Business Profile that states plainly which areas you serve, and location targeting that follows your real service area instead of a circle drawn around a zip code.
Tourist searches are not local searches
Millions of visitors search New York queries every year, alongside the people who live and work here. If you run a restaurant, a hotel, or a tour company, that visitor traffic is your market. If you are a dentist, an accountant, or an electrician, it is noise you may be paying for. A search for best pizza near Times Square comes from a very different person than a search for a dentist on the Upper West Side accepting new patients. We separate tourist intent from local intent in both Ads and SEO: campaigns filtered by location and query patterns for local trades, and content written for visitor searches only when visitors are genuinely your customers.
New York searches in more than one language
A large share of New Yorkers speak a language other than English at home. Spanish is searched across all five boroughs, Chinese matters in Flushing and Sunset Park, Russian in southern Brooklyn, and the list continues. If your customers search in Spanish and your campaigns exist only in English, that demand goes to a competitor who answered it. Where the numbers justify it, we build Spanish-language ad groups with their own landing pages, list the languages you serve on your Google Business Profile, and write pages that match how your customers actually phrase the search. The goal is plain: be present in the language the customer used.
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 New York business owners
How does working with a team based in France work in practice?+
France is six hours ahead of New York, and we use that gap deliberately. Your campaigns are checked and cleaned before your workday begins, and calls are booked in your morning, which is our afternoon. All communication is in English, by email or video call. The team completed Google Skillshop training and holds individual Google certifications.
Who owns the Google Ads account?+
You do, always. The account is yours, and your ad budget is paid by you directly to Google. It never passes through us. If we stop working together, you keep the account, its history, and all of its data.
Can you guarantee a first page ranking or a specific cost per lead?+
No. Nobody controls Google's results, and an agency promising a ranking is promising something it does not own. What we commit to is work you can verify: a monthly report with real numbers, calls, form fills, and cost per lead, so you can judge for yourself whether to continue.
Will you also work with my competitor down the street?+
No. We take one client per trade per area, and that exclusivity is written into the contract. If we already work with a business in your trade in your part of New York, we will tell you and decline.
How do we start?+
Ask for the free visibility audit. Within 48 hours you receive an honest review of where you stand in Google search, in Google Ads if you run any, and in AI answers. There is no obligation, no long-term contract if you go further, and you can cancel at any time with 30 days notice.
