StarBoost

What StarBoost does

StarBoost (legal entity STARBOOST Sarl, RCS 828030007) is a French digital services agency founded in 2019 and headquartered in Villiers-sur-Morin (Ile-de-France), with a secondary office in Lannion (Bretagne). It designs, builds and maintains websites and online stores primarily for very small enterprises (TPE) and small-to-medium businesses (PME) across France, using open-source content management stacks — WordPress with Elementor for showcase sites and PrestaShop for e-commerce — supplemented by WooCommerce. Its offering is structured into recurring monthly subscriptions rather than bespoke project billing: the Site "Blog"/vitrine tier is priced at €90/month HT, the e-commerce tier at €150/month HT, and a Complex/Evolved tier at custom quote, with each contract bundling domain registration, French-hosted infrastructure, SSL, backups, premium modules, unlimited pages, a dedicated webmaster, and Google Business Profile management.

The company's product surface extends well beyond site construction. It manages managed hosting on French servers (from €12/month HT) and managed VPS Plesk servers (from €55/month HT across three SSD/RAM tiers), and offers add-on services spanning organic SEO, paid search (Google Ads / SEA), social media advertising and account setup across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube, email and SMS campaigns, logo and graphic design, and ongoing maintenance with Google Analytics tracking. Vertical-specific integrations include Planity and Booksy for beauty/wellness booking, Siteminder for hotel channel management, Doctolib for health-professional scheduling, and a Pennylane accounting data-sync via Chift for e-commerce merchants.

Revenue mechanics combine subscription recurring revenue with one-off setup fees and quoted project work. The go-to-market is direct sales-led, with top-of-funnel demand generated through content marketing, SEO and social media targeting French TPE/PME. Customer concentration is deliberately dispersed — disclosed case studies span rental vehicles, carpentry, psychology, catering, door services, wealth management, fashion, film production, viticulture, recycling, BTP rental, green-space equipment and demolition — illustrating a horizontal segmentation strategy. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding, no external investors and no patents, certifications or regulatory actions on file.
