EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. SEO doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try SEO” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Lyon finance & fintech is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
58,000 Lyon finance firms. 3 are dominating local search.
Lyon's finance sector—biotech funding, insurance, investment advisory—operates in a heavily regulated ecosystem where aggressive marketing fails. Competitors hide behind generic banking language. Your advantage: authority-first SEO built on compliance, local credibility, and differentiated expertise that Google rewards. Search demand for financial advisory is rising +18% YoY in the Presqu'île and Part-Dieu districts, but most fintech firms lack the technical SEO foundation to capture it.
The 3 places Lyon finance & fintech brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 finance & fintech brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
Despite having solid product-market fit, they ranked outside top 50 for 'SMB lending Lyon' and 'business loan alternatives.' Generic competitors and larger banks dominated. Lead cost was €280, conversion rate 1.2%.
Built authority through published research (monthly lending trend reports) and partnerships with Lyon business associations.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time SEO has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
After 4–6 months, you're ranking for 60+ high-intent finance keywords in Lyon, attracting 25–40+ qualified leads monthly, and your cost-per-lead has dropped 35–45%. Your site is a trust-building machine—compliance-ready, conversion-optimized, and differentiated from larger competitors.
Compliance Audit & Keyword Research
We map your site against financial regulatory requirements (CNIL, DGFIP, AMF) while identifying high-intent keywords your competitors are missing. We analyze what local finance decision-makers are actually searching for in Lyon metro.
Authority & E-E-A-T Strategy
We build a content and backlink strategy that establishes you as a trusted expert in your niche—certified, published, cited. This is critical in finance, where Google prioritizes credibility over volume.
Technical Foundation & On-Page Optimization
We implement schema markup, improve crawlability, fix site speed, and optimize title/meta/heading hierarchy for your target keywords. Every page is audit-ready and built for conversions.
Content Production & Local Signals
We produce high-intent content (guides, case studies, explainers) optimized for Lyon-specific searches. We strengthen your Google Business Profile and local citation consistency across Part-Dieu and Presqu'île networks.
Measurement, Attribution & Iteration
We set up conversion tracking, link SEO to your CRM, and build a monthly dashboard. You see exactly which keywords drive leads, cost-per-acquisition, and ROI—then we refine based on data.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.
| Omakaase | What we hear from most agencies | |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts | ✓ Month-to-month. Walk away any time. | 12-month minimum (standard) |
| Who's on your account | ✓ Senior strategist. Doesn't rotate. | Account manager, often junior, rotates 6–12 months |
| Reporting cadence | ✓ Weekly Loom video + live dashboard | Monthly PDF report |
| Attribution model | ✓ Revenue-connected from Day 1 | Rankings + traffic only |
| Cost transparency | ✓ You see where every dollar goes | Black-box retainer |

“I've run three agencies through their paces. This is the first one that attributes everything back to revenue. Rankings are vanity. Pipeline is the point.”

“They found a technical issue in week one that had been suppressing our rankings for over a year. Two previous agencies missed it completely. That was the moment I knew.”

“Month-to-month contracts and no lock-in wasn't just a selling point — it forced them to earn our business every month. They always did.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How is SEO different for finance vs. other industries?
Google has strict standards for finance content (E-E-A-T: Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness). Compliance, credentials, and cited expertise matter as much as keywords. Generic ranking tactics fail. We build authority first, then optimize for search.
Will SEO help me comply with CNIL, AMF, and other regulations?
SEO itself isn't a compliance tool—but our process ensures every piece of content, technical element, and claim is audit-ready. We work with your legal/compliance team to build a site that ranks AND passes regulatory review.
How long before I see results?
First signs of ranking movement: 6–8 weeks. Meaningful traffic and lead growth: 4–6 months. Finance is competitive and requires trust-building, not quick fixes. We're transparent about timeline and provide monthly updates.
What's your typical retainer range for a Lyon finance firm?
€1,800–€4,200/month depending on scope (keyword range, content production, technical complexity, competition level). Most clients start at €2,400–€3,200/month and see 4–6x ROI within 12 months.
Can you help with both SEO and Google Ads?
Yes. We specialize in B2B SEO and compliance-compliant Google Ads. Many of our finance clients run both—SEO for long-term pipeline, Ads for immediate intent capture. We optimize the mix based on your goals and budget.
