3 ways to work with our SEO agency

Our SEO support adapts to your maturity level and company size: a one-off audit, full management of your organic search, or the expertise of an SEO consultant reinforcing your marketing team.
  1. SEO audit

    Technical, semantic and link analysis of your site, plus a review of competitors and key queries. You leave with a tailored, prioritised SEO action plan to improve your rankings and a comparison with your competitors. Sometimes the audit is enough: ongoing support is not always necessary.

    Prepare my specifications
  2. Monthly SEO support

    Your SEO strategy managed day to day: optimizing the technical base, producing content, working on internal linking and link building, tracking rankings continuously. Monthly reporting, a tailored plan for lasting progress and a fee set by quote.

  3. SEO consultant on your team

    A senior SEO consultant, specialised in your type of site, joins your digital marketing team a few days a week. They structure the strategy, support your writers and train your teams. A format suited to companies that already have a team in place.

Dashboard of the FreeMatch SaaS launched by PeakLab

FreeMatch: ×18 SEO impressions in one year

FreeMatch is a SaaS that matches IT freelancers with projects, designed and launched by PeakLab. No ad budget: growth came from organic search and LinkedIn, two organic channels.

According to the published case, monthly SEO impressions went from 578 to 10,226 in one year. Around 3,000 freelancers signed up.

These figures describe this product, not a promise for a different company. The result comes from a product-driven strategy and SEO built in from the design stage: architecture, useful pages and content written for real searches, with a team skilled in both SEO and development.

What our SEO agency does

Six SEO areas of expertise to make your brand visible on Google and in AI engines, with a full view of the business stakes and one goal: winning customers.

  1. 01

    Audit and search strategy

    Site crawl, Search Console, traffic sources, semantic analysis and a study of the competitive market: the audit identifies what holds back your visibility. Then come the strategic keywords, chosen for their volume, intent and business value. Market still unclear? Our market research agency takes over.

  2. 02

    Technical SEO

    Indexing, speed, Core Web Vitals, JavaScript rendering, structured data (schema), redirects and sitemap. Technical issues are fixed directly in your CMS: WordPress, Shopify, Drupal or a custom site. An optimized mobile site also improves the user experience and the conversion rate.

  3. 03

    Content and semantic optimization

    Keyword research, search intent, page structure, briefs and writing. Each piece of SEO content meets a real need of your target, with expert knowledge of your trade: guide, comparison, service page, video. Internal linking then strengthens the page that needs to rank.

  4. 04

    Link building and authority

    Backlinks still carry strong weight with Google. Our team earns quality links and mentions on a relevant selection of sites in your sector: partners, media, press relations, guest articles. A white-hat approach, with no private networks or bought links that would put your domain at risk.

  5. 05

    GEO: visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews

    GEO (generative engine optimization) prepares your brand to be cited by LLMs. Mention tracking covers ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. Your pages must answer clearly, with their sources, and help these generative engines understand your offer, since they pick up the signals of recognised brands.

  6. 06

    Redesign, local and international SEO

    A poorly prepared website redesign can erase years of SEO work. URLs, redirects and content are mapped before launch, then checked afterwards. For a local business: Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) and customer reviews. For international markets: optimized language versions, hreflang tags and keywords per market.

Our commitments on your SEO visibility

No ranking promise

Nobody controls Google's algorithm. Our agency commits to the method and the transparency of every SEO action, never to a guaranteed top 3.

You stay the owner

Search Console, Google Analytics, SEO tools, content and earned links stay in your name. Access and history remain available, with or without PeakLab: no information is held back.

Prioritised recommendations

Each SEO recommendation states its source, the page concerned, the expected impact, the effort and who implements it. You know which decision to make first, without a list of 200 criteria.

Monthly SEO reporting

Every month, your senior SEO consultant, your day-to-day contact, reviews rankings, organic traffic, conversion rate, ROI and next recommended actions. Real figures, no jargon.

What is an SEO agency?

An SEO agency works on your website's organic search: its ability to appear in the organic results of Google and other search engines without paying for each click.

SEO (search engine optimization) differs from SEA, paid search, which buys visibility through ad campaigns.

SEO work rests on three pillars. Technical SEO makes the site readable by crawlers. Content answers your audience's queries. Authority, built through link building and mentions, proves that other reference sites trust you.

A full-service SEO agency handles the audit, strategy, writing, technical optimization and link building. It must be able to explain each action, its impact, its priority level and its place in your digital marketing plan. Evaluating an SEO agency starts with evaluating its transparency.

With Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity, search is changing fast. GEO (generative engine optimization) aims to get you cited in these generated answers. It relies on the same foundations as SEO: an accessible site, expert content and a solid brand reputation.

A good search agency links each page to a business need. It measures the qualified traffic it generates and decides with you which actions serve your revenue.

The best SEO fills your order book, not your rankings dashboard.

Every sector has its own stakes, for example a highly competitive market, a local customer base, a large e-commerce catalogue or a specific B2B offer.

A tailored SEO strategy takes these specifics, your budget and your capacity to produce into account. Applying the same standard method to very different companies does not work.

The long-term advantage of SEO: a well-ranked page keeps generating qualified visits without a cost per click.

SEO complements SEA, social media and your newsletter. Usually, the best approach combines a solid organic base with occasional campaigns to test a new market.

PeakLab is also a web agency: SEO strategy, content and web development work together in the same team. The signs that it is time to hand your SEO to an agency:

  • A site invisible on GoogleYour service pages do not appear in the SERP for your customers' queries; your competitors' pages do. Every day, a lost opportunity.
  • Declining organic trafficAn algorithm update, a redesign or a migration has pushed your rankings down.
  • Visits without conversionsSEO traffic lands on articles that generate neither quote requests nor prospects: the user's search intent is not matched.
  • Missing from AI answersChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews cite your competitors when people ask these tools about your field.
  • A redesign coming upThe new site must go live without losing the traffic you have earned, part of which comes from links built up over the years.
  • No content strategyThe blog is fed at random, with no keyword research, no sales-oriented editorial line and no clear role in the buying decision.

Why choose an SEO agency that also builds?

Because a large part of an audit's recommendations touches code: speed, indexing, schema, URLs. At PeakLab, SEO consultants and developers work together every day: the team that recommends a fix ships it. SEA and CRO go through our acquisition agency. Want to bring SEO in-house? Training your team is part of the plan.

FAQ: everything about our SEO agency

Pricing, timelines, GEO, ChatGPT and Perplexity, redesigns, CMS: our answers and advice before you compare SEO agencies.

An SEO agency improves your site's visibility in Google's organic results and in AI engines such as ChatGPT or Perplexity. It runs the audit, defines the keyword strategy, optimizes the technical base, produces content, builds links and measures results. The right partner helps turn that traffic into revenue.

The fee depends on the size of the site, the competition on your queries, the volume of content to produce and the amount of technical work to fix. We separate audit, implementation and monthly support in a written quote, after a first conversation.

Technical fixes can have a quick effect; content and link building need more time. Google says so in its documentation: no timeline is guaranteed. We set delivery and review dates, not a ranking date.

No. Google states in its guide on hiring an SEO that nobody can guarantee a first position. Be wary of that promise. We commit to the method, the deliverables and transparency.

Ask for verifiable case studies, the audit method, who does the work and who puts it live. Check that your accounts stay in your name and that reporting talks about leads, not just rankings.

A freelance consultant suits a targeted audit or an already autonomous team. An SEO agency brings several skills: strategy, writing, technical work, development. PeakLab can also train your team to take SEO in-house.

SEO works on Google's organic results. SEA buys visibility through Google Ads. GEO targets AI-generated answers such as ChatGPT, Perplexity or AI Overviews. The three complement each other.

There is no shortcut. These tools cite accessible, clear and recognised sources: expert content, structured answers, mentions on reference sites. We track your citations and work on those signals, without promising guaranteed presence.

Before. The URL inventory, redirect plan and content structure are prepared before launch. After go-live, we check indexing, errors and rankings in Search Console.

With technical SEO if Google does not crawl or index your pages correctly. Then content, which answers your customers' queries. Link building then strengthens pages that already deserve to rank.

Yes, as well as custom sites in Next.js or Laravel. Our developers work directly in the CMS to apply SEO fixes.

Yes. Locally: Google Business Profile, reviews, pages for areas you actually serve. Internationally: language versions, hreflang and keyword research per market.

Yes. Our head office is in Paris, at 60 rue François Ier, and we support companies across France remotely, by video call and in your shared tools.

You do. Search Console, Google Analytics, content and earned backlinks stay in your name. We access them with rights you can revoke at any time.
