In this fragmented and competitive market, Inter-Car had a real service but needed to build visibility. Three main obstacles. #### AI answers are absent In queries where internet users asked which towing company to choose, AIs cited competitors or directories. Inter-Car did not appear, even though it has become a major discovery channel. #### A lack of authority Too few qualified backlinks were pointing to the site. Without a strong backlink profile, it was impossible to be perceived as a reference, neither by Google nor by models that rely on these signals. #### Content not suitable for quotation The pages did not provide AI with the clear elements (entities, evidence, response formats) they need to confidently cite a brand on a high-intent query. Our intervention ### A GEO scope, backed by quality link building No endless audits. Our SEO/GEO team provides close support with a clear objective: to make Inter-Car the obvious answer for AI on tow truck searches and solidify its authority. We produce, we push, we measure, we adjust. 01 #### A GEO Strategy for AI We identified the queries where the decision is made («best wrecker,» «free wreck removal»...) and structured the content so that ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews can cite Inter-Car with confidence.
