Local shops: be the shop people are told to visit
“Where can I find a good wine shop in Paris?”, “a florist that delivers tonight?”: assistants answer with a few addresses. Recoia shows you whether you are one of them, and what information to publish so that people are sent your way.
For: boutiques, florists, bakeries, wine shops, opticians, specialist stores. Updated .
What your customers ask AI assistants
Examples of real-world questions, like the ones Recoia asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews several times to measure who gets recommended. Recoia asks them in French, the language of the market it measures.
- “Where can I buy a good bottle of wine as a gift in Paris?”
- “A florist with same-day delivery in Paris”
- “A board game shop in Paris with good advice”
- “A bakery with sourdough bread in Paris”
- “A bike shop with a repair workshop in Paris”
Where AI assistants get their information
| Source | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Business listings and reviews | Opening hours, address and reputation are reused very often. |
| Local media and blogs | “Best addresses” round-ups influence recommendations. |
| Your website | For what you actually offer: products, brands, services (delivery, click and collect). |
The information your website must give
- Your key products and brands, as text
- Services: delivery, click and collect, repairs, advice, gift cards
- Opening hours, including exceptional openings
- Your address with a well-known landmark
The pages to create first
- One page per product category
It answers “where can I buy X in Paris”.
- A “Services” page (delivery, collection, workshops)
These services are often the deciding criterion in the question.
Common mistakes
- A website that never names the brands or products you actually sell
- Holiday opening hours that are never updated
