What WEBITICS does

Webitics is a French boutique SEO and SEA (paid search) consulting firm founded in October 2017 by David Pelletier and operating from Lyon and Roanne, France. The company delivers professional services across the full organic and paid search stack, including SEO audits, on-site and off-site optimization, netlinking, site-redesign migration support, web writing, web analytics (Google Analytics, Tag Manager, Data Studio), digital strategy, and Google Ads / Bing campaign management. Its service portfolio is supported by an established stack of third-party SEO tools — Semrush, OnCrawl, Majestic SEO, Screaming Frog, SEObserver, and Monitorank — alongside Asana for project management, and an internally developed AI-assisted SEO tool used for market studies, competitive analysis, reporting, and content optimization.

The firm serves a diverse French customer base spanning E-Commerce (B2C and B2B), lead generation businesses, E-Tourism destinations, local retailers and craftsmen, and web agencies acting as channel partners. David Pelletier serves as the primary consultant and client point of contact, with delivery performed in-house for most services while external partners are engaged for web writing and netlinking. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with no disclosed pricing or contract structures; services are quote-based and tailored per engagement.

Webitics has no disclosed external funding, operates as a privately held founder-controlled entity, and sits at 1-10 employees as of the most recent data points, including an active recruitment for an additional SEO Consultant. Its stated competitive positioning emphasizes long-term partnership, transparency, regional physical presence, and the founder's accumulated SEO methodology, while its proprietary internal AI tool is positioned as an evolving capability for both internal teams and clients.
