A GEO agency gets your business cited among the answers given by artificial intelligence, such as Google’s AI Mode, Gemini or ChatGPT. It builds on the principles of search engine optimisation, adding technical methods such as rich results (Schema.org structured data) or the llms.txt file, which help LLMs (the large language models that power AI) understand a website. In Perpignan and the Pyrénées-Orientales, it supports shops, tradespeople and businesses.

A GEO agency in Perpignan that got a head start
We have been working with machine learning since 2013, back when the models that would become today’s AI still had to be trained. The arrival of generative AI led us to formalise a long-term approach, the GAIA method, on which every one of our GEO assignments is based. Read our story.
Generative. Every question your customers ask gets a direct answer that stands on its own and can be cited by AI.
Authority. Identical information across the web and favourable reviews, wherever AI checks who you are.
Information. Your real cases, your figures and your methods, what an AI cannot make up.
Agents. A website AI agents can read, with your services, your prices and your availability, for the day they act on your customers’ behalf.
AI agents are already at work. In its AI Mode, Google is testing direct booking of a restaurant table 1, and in September 2026 Meta launched Muse, an agent that books flights and hotels. Your website must be able to respond to these agents, and tomorrow to your customer’s own agent.

It covers 70 hectares south-west of the city, with 150 companies and more than 2,100 direct jobs, and it has made logistics, temperature-controlled transport and warehousing a local trade.

How Google’s AI Mode chooses the businesses it cites
Since 22 July 2026, Google search has changed in France. AI Overviews appear at the top of the page and AI Mode lets you have a conversation with the search engine 1. The AI writes its answer based on a small selection of reliable websites.
- 1Citation. Your website is listed among the answer’s sources, with a link. This is the strongest form of visibility.
- 2Mention. The AI names your business in its answer, without a link. Your name stays in the customer’s mind.
- 3Business profile. Your Google profile appears next to the answer, with your customer reviews.
When an AI summary is shown, people click a classic link in only 8% of visits, compared with 15% without a summary 1. Being in the answer now counts as much as ranking well.
How we get your business cited in Perpignan
Five steps, from the first check to monthly follow-up
Your trade, your competitors in Perpignan and the way AI already talks about you decide the order of priorities. The method itself always follows the same main steps.
- 1
AI visibility audit
We start with a dated check. Your customers’ questions in Perpignan are put to Google’s AI Mode, Gemini, ChatGPT and other AI tools, and we record the businesses cited along with their sources.
- 2
Technical foundations
Complete structured data, fast pages, files for AI and business information that is identical everywhere. Being understood before being cited.
- 3
Citable content
Content designed to be picked up by AI, with short answers to your Perpignan customers’ questions, a byline, proof, figures and projects, in line with E-E-A-T criteria.
- 4
Local authority
Google reviews, directories, local press and Perpignan partners, everything that talks about you away from your website. AI relies on it before recommending you.
- 5
Dated monthly follow-up
A new check every month. You see where you are cited, what is improving and what we do next.
What is E-E-A-T?
- Experience
- Expertise
- Authoritativeness
- Trustworthiness
These four criteria sum up what Google tries to check. Has the business really practised its trade? Does it master it? Do others cite it? Does it deserve its customers’ trust?
Why AI has made it essential
To decide whom to cite, an AI consults far more than your website. Google profile, reviews, professional directories, press articles, LinkedIn profile, trade register, it compares everything. It checks who is behind the business, how long it has existed and its qualifications. Information that matches up reassures it, and the slightest contradiction pushes it away from you.
What this changes for you
Online reputation is no longer a bonus. Customer reviews, identical information everywhere, the manager’s profile, visible certifications, everything now counts towards being cited. This work has become even more important with AI, and it is part of every one of our assignments.
Customers who search in several languages and rely on proximity
In Perpignan, the border and the coast change the way people search. A visitor from Catalonia types a query in Spanish or Catalan, a resident searches in French, and a fruit and vegetable wholesaler compares suppliers on a European scale. An accurate Google Business Profile, clear opening hours and pages in the right language decide who appears.
What Perpignan residents search for on Google
47,680 searches a month
Across 25 common trades followed by the city’s name, averaged over a year.

Your questions, in Perpignan
My customers come from Spain. Do I need a website in Spanish or Catalan?
If part of your revenue comes from Catalonia, yes. The border is 25 kilometres away and Barcelona less than 1 hour 30 minutes by TGV. We first check what Spanish visitors look for on your site, then translate the pages that matter rather than the whole website.
I am on the Saint-Charles platform or in logistics. What should I put online?
Your concrete capabilities. Areas served, temperature control, volumes handled, lead times. This information lets Google and AI assistants suggest you to a buyer looking for a partner. We write it up in specific pages, without any figures you cannot stand behind.
You are in Cabestany. Can you come and see me in Perpignan?
Yes. Our registered office is in Cabestany, 4 kilometres away, and we travel for a meeting when it is useful. Day-to-day follow-up is done remotely and starts at €490 excl. VAT per month.
My business depends on the season on the coast. When should I work on my visibility?
Before the visitors arrive. Canet-en-Roussillon and Argelès-sur-Mer are 8 and 21 kilometres away. We prepare your pages, your photos and your Google profile a few weeks before the season opens, so that search engines and assistants have time to take them into account.
