En français : la recherche IA à Sherbrooke

Click Shift aide les entreprises de Sherbrooke à être trouvées et choisies dans les réponses de l'IA : publicités dans ChatGPT, optimisation pour les aperçus IA (AI Overviews) et le mode IA de Google, et présence dans les recommandations de ChatGPT, Gemini et Copilot.

Les publicités de Google dans le mode IA et les aperçus IA sont offertes en anglais seulement pour l'instant. Vos pages en français doivent donc gagner leur place de façon organique, et la concurrence y est souvent moins forte qu'en anglais.

Peut-on annoncer sur ChatGPT au Québec ?

Oui : les publicités ChatGPT sont offertes au Canada depuis avril 2026. Avant le lancement, nous vérifions les options de langue et de ciblage d'OpenAI, et nous rédigeons d'abord la version française, conformément à la Charte de la langue française.

Comment apparaître dans les réponses de ChatGPT ?

En ayant des fiches exactes et cohérentes (Bing Places, Google, Apple, annuaires), des avis récents et des pages qui disent clairement qui vous servez et où. Nous configurons aussi le suivi des conversions dans le respect de la Loi 25.
