Top 12 best SEO consultants in France in 2026

Paul Vengeons has been a freelance SEO consultant since 2020. He started in web writing, then was hired as an SEO specialist at two SEO agencies, before focusing on his own clients. His work covers the three pillars of SEO, technical, content and link building, with a real specialty in content: he wrote the French blog for Systeme.io and led a 100% content project for the Legrand group.

Since November 2023 he has co-hosted the weekly MVP podcast with Antoine Veyrières, rated 4.9 out of 5 from more than 160 ratings. He also cofounded ChatSEO, an AI agent that applies his method to Search Console data. His Malt profile shows 5 out of 5 from 7 reviews and a rate of €1,000 per day; his monthly engagements start at €300 per month.

Nicolas Sanchez is a senior SEO consultant at Astrak, specialized in technical SEO: crawling, indexing, JavaScript rendering, migrations and structured data. It is the part of SEO that generic audits handle poorly, because it requires reading server logs and code rather than a tool report.

He worked with Trackstone, from the drop caused by a Google update to beating its records: more than 1,000 clicks per day, or 60% more than at the April 2025 low point, after work on JavaScript errors, crawling and internal linking. He has also taken over several e-commerce sites after difficult migrations.

Guillaume Girod is an independent SEO consultant in Lyon, with eight years of practice since 2017: semantic audits at QualiContent, SEO consultant in Malta on sports betting, then accounts such as Columbia Sportswear, Mobalpa and SoCoo'c, and HelloAsso and LCL at Noiise, before focusing fully on his own clients in late 2024.

Link building is his main specialty: he says he has invested more than €250,000 in links for his clients, with budgets above €10,000 per month in sports betting, finance and crypto. He also hosts the live sessions of the Linkuma platform. His Malt profile shows 5 out of 5 from 18 reviews, and his rate is public: €600 per day.

Marvin Coquemont is a senior SEO consultant at Astrak, where he works at the intersection of SEO, GEO and measurement. He is certified in Google Analytics and Google Ads Search: he can check that a rise in traffic turns into leads or sales, and isolate what comes from AI assistants in the data.

He led the engagement for Slidor, a presentation design agency, on the US market: in three months, the share of AI answers citing Slidor on its purchase queries went from 5.4% to 21%, nearly four times more, and the brand moved from 24th to 9th place among cited brands.

Lucio Laria founded Onze in January 2024 and is its SEO director. The agency only works with senior consultants, six around him, and lists Decitre, Superprof, Heytens, Sortlist, Polylang and AB Tasty among its clients. He also created Link-Finder, a link prospecting software.

His published projects are quantified: the merger of Heytens' four country sites, followed by +150% SEO traffic in one year, or YeldaAI, a voice agent publisher that went from 0 to 20 qualified leads per month thanks to SEO. The agency's rate is public: €650 per day.

Daniel Roch has been an SEO consultant specialized in WordPress since 2008 and is the founder of the Nantes agency SeoMix. He is the author of "Optimiser son référencement WordPress" from Eyrolles, whose fifth edition came out in 2024, and since 2024 he has continued Olivier Andrieu's books, including "Réussir son référencement web".

A very active speaker (TEDx Lannion, SMX Paris, SEO Camp'us, WordCamp), he co-organized WordCamp Bretagne and WP Tech. His agency publishes the SEOKEY SEO plugin and counts Radio France, Kiabi and AP-HP among its clients. The right contact for any WordPress site. See also our ranking of WordPress SEO agencies.

Aymeric Bouillat has been an independent technical SEO consultant since 2024, after a career that covers the whole field: webmaster of Europages, a site in 26 languages, then Netbooster, technical lead at Résoneo, SEO Hackers and Novalem, at Havas Media. His topics are the ones that bring down large sites: log analysis, performance, migrations, international SEO, structured data and now crawling by AI bots.

Former chair of the SEO Camp editorial committee and member of the SMX Paris editorial committee, he has given many talks (SMX Paris, SEO Camp'us, Search Y) and teaches at Gobelins, FormaSEO and Oreegami. He publishes a set of free SEO tools, including the Y'SERP extension, Sitemap Killer and CrUX History Explorer.

David Groult heads SEO at Noiise, where he manages the team of consultants and handles a portfolio of clients himself. Coming from Google Ads advertising, he moved to SEO in 2014 when he joined Open Linking in Lille, one of the agencies that formed Noiise. He says he has worked on several hundred projects, including vertbaudet, Bonduelle, Micromania, OVH, Nocibé and Tissot.

CESEO certified and a member of the SEO Camp certification jury since 2016, he writes for Réacteur and the Noiise blog, and gives talks regularly: the latest, at SMX Paris 2025, was about edge SEO done for vertbaudet.

Pierre Ribeaucourt heads SEO at Empirik, a Lyon agency founded in 2012 that works for Legrand, Cointreau and Stormshield, and that the agency describes as having more than fifteen years in the business. He hosts its webinars, from a benchmark of Google's SGE in the US in 2023 to data-driven content pruning in 2026.

He also authors tools and guides: the Chrome extensions Maillage Booster, for managing internal linking, and Reddit FAQ Finder, plus a GEO guide of about ten thousand words published in June 2026. A profile for a company that wants tool-driven, measured SEO, with a team behind it.

He was a consultant at Noiise, where he handled migrations, algorithmic penalties and redesigns, then SEO project manager at Semji, the content software publisher, working with large accounts and e-commerce companies whose marketing teams he trained.

Today he works on audits, redesigns, international SEO, internal linking and content recycling, and runs site portfolio audits and migrations for the Jloo agency. Bilingual, he has 5 out of 5 on Malt and a rate of €500 per day. He takes a pragmatic line: classic SEO remains the foundation, GEO comes on top.

Nicolas Peter coded his first sites in PHP at 16, and SEO became his job in 2001. He founded the agency Oli-via-net in 2016. It combines SEO, GEO, Google Ads and Meta, online reputation, website creation and automation. He has used Google Ads since 2004 and holds six active certifications.

In 2019, he cofounded 7Days in Lannion, which develops a search engine for last-minute offers and machine learning tools. In December 2025, he published the GAIA method (Generative, Authority, Information, Agents), which structures his GEO projects.
