I work with businesses across the whole Dijon metropolitan area, from the city centre to Grésilles, from Montchapet to Toison d'Or, from Fontaine d'Ouche to Port du Canal, and in the neighbouring towns such as Chenôve, Talant, Quetigny, Longvic, Fontaine-lès-Dijon or Saint-Apollinaire. Each of these districts has its own search habits, its own local shops and its own market, Fontaine d'Ouche on Wednesday morning, Grésilles on Thursday and Saturday, and a local site has to talk about these precise places rather than about Burgundy in general. I come and see you on site when that helps, and the rest is handled by video call or phone.
The trades I meet most often in Dijon are building trades and food businesses. According to INSEE, the city had 1,021 construction businesses at the end of 2024, plumbers, electricians, painters and tilers who live on referrals and local searches. Alongside them, the stallholders of the Halles and of rue Odebert and rue Bannelier, the wine merchants selling the wines of the Côte, the mustard and gingerbread makers, and the hotels and restaurants that host the conference crowd all need an online address that shows what they sell, to whom, and how to reach them without going through a paid directory.
Take a plumber and heating engineer based in Chenôve who works across the metropolitan area. His site would have a home page that says in one sentence what he does and where, an emergency page with a tappable number and honest response times, a heat pump and boiler installation page with photos of his own jobs, one page for each town he works in most, Dijon, Chenôve, Longvic and Talant, a reviews page pulling in the reviews from his Google listing, and a contact page with a short form. Each page targets one precise search, 'chauffagiste Chenôve' or 'dépannage chaudière Dijon', and that structure is what moves the site up the results.
The same logic applies to a hair salon in the city centre, a bakery in Quetigny, an osteopath in Saint-Apollinaire or a garage in Longvic, with pages that differ because the customers' questions differ. The website for tradespeople page describes what I put forward when the client sells a skill rather than a product on a shelf. And if your work spills over into the Doubs, I also cover website creation in Besançon with the same formula, the same plan and the same way of working, which lets you run a single site for two cities.
