The situation
You do not need a marketing department.
You need the phone to ring.In most SMEs, marketing belongs to nobody: one-off actions, an ageing website, unanswered reviews and no measurement. Meanwhile, your customers have changed their habits: they search on Google, compare on Maps and put their questions to AI.
Local services and independent professionals
Lawyers, estate agents, craftspeople, health and wellbeing: your catchment area is local, and the battle is fought in nearby searches. Being impossible to find means leaving the appointment to the visible competitor.
B2B companies and industry
Construction, logistics, training, business services: your buyers do their research alone, long before contacting you. What they find, or fail to find, decides whether you are consulted.
D2C and e-commerce brands
The shop exists, the product is good, but traffic has plateaued and customers do not buy again. Acquisition without loyalty is a leaky bucket.
The common thread in all three situations: your customers must find you, then come back. These two movements are managed with written methods and measured results, not with scattered actions. That is exactly what we do.

Our engagements
Where does it get stuck for you?
Four problems come up in every SME we meet. Each has its method, its detailed page and its pricing table. Choose yours. A dated website in Pau that no longer converts can be rebuilt with a simple aim: making the phone ring. If your offer sells online, Shopify store creation opens a second revenue channel.
“You can't be found”
Organic and local SEO: appearing on Google, in Maps and in searches in your area, on the queries that bring customers.
SEO agencyThe detail, without leaving the page
SEO audit, content, link building, Google Business Profile and local SEO. We work for e-commerce, training, construction, logistics, real estate, health and wellbeing, fashion, independent professionals and craftspeople. The five-step method and the pricing table are published on the page. In Bigorre, our organic SEO agency in Tarbes makes SMEs visible on their local searches.
“AI never cites you”
Your future customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity whom to consult. Your brand already has a reputation in those answers: you still need to know it, then manage it.
GEO agencyThe detail, without leaving the page
Measurement of your visibility and perception in AI answers, share of voice against your competitors, then an action plan to get cited. From a one-off diagnosis to continuous management.
“Your customers don't come back”
Acquisition is expensive if the experience keeps nobody. Customer journey, moments of truth, reviews: what brings people back can be managed and measured.
Customer experience consultingThe detail, without leaving the page
We apply to mid-sized companies the six pillars of customer experience from KPMG, a framework designed for large brands, translated into verifiable standards at your scale. With review and online reputation management.
“Nobody is steering”
The actions exist, the consistency is missing. A part-time marketing director sets the direction, the calendar and the measurement, without a hire.
Outsourced marketing directorThe detail, without leaving the page
Two to three days a month in your company: strategy, marketing plan, budget prioritisation, coordination of suppliers and a measured report. A clear management fee, with execution on quote.

The pivotal offer
A marketing director,
without hiring a marketing directorHiring is expensive and rarely justified at SME scale. Handing the subject to an apprentice means handing the direction to the person who should be receiving it. The third way: a part-time marketing director, two to three days a month, in your company. A clear management fee, execution on quote, and the freedom to stop.
What the management covers
- The strategy and annual marketing plan, written and dated
- Prioritising budgets between actions
- Coordination of your existing suppliers
- Measured monthly follow-up: what is rising, what is flat
- Customer experience, if that is your topic
- Recruiting the in-house profile, the day it is justified

What sets us apart
Published methods, displayed pricing,
measured resultsChoosing an agency without knowing how it works or what it costs is signing with your eyes closed. We took the opposite stance, and you can verify it before even calling us. areta publishes its methods and displays its pricing.
Published methods
Our five-step methods, with their named deliverables, are written in black and white on the SEO and GEO pages. You know what happens, in what order, and what you receive. Our methods are public: start with our guide to organic SEO.
Displayed pricing
Our pricing tables are online. Most agencies publish nothing: we prefer you to arrive at the first meeting already knowing the orders of magnitude.
Measured results
Rankings, calls, qualified appointments, reviews, satisfaction: each assignment has its indicators, recorded over time. Measurement shows movement, or the lack of it, and we show it to you as it is.
What we do not promise
No guaranteed first place, no growth figure set in advance. Nobody can seriously promise a Google ranking or a turnover: those who do commit your budget, not their result.
What we commit to: a written method, tracked indicators, and a first conversation that may conclude the subject is not a priority for you. We will tell you.
-
Frequently asked questions
What we are asked before we start
Four questions that come up at every first conversation with an SME.
Do you work with small businesses and the self-employed?
Yes. Our methods are scaled to the size of the business: a self-employed person does not need the same set-up as an SME of fifty employees, and we do not sell them the same one. The services are bounded, with a deliverable and a duration, precisely to remain accessible to small businesses. And if your budget makes the assignment unreasonable, we tell you at the first conversation rather than start something that cannot succeed.
Do you work outside the Basque Country and Béarn?
Yes. We are based in Bayonne and Pau, and some of our clients are local, but our methods for SEO, AI visibility and customer experience apply anywhere in France, remotely. Assignments that require fieldwork, such as observing the customer journey, are organised through planned visits. The outsourced marketing director, however, requires a regular presence in the company: its natural area remains the wider South-West.
How much do your services cost?
Our pricing tables are published on the SEO agency and GEO agency pages: you know the orders of magnitude before calling us. Marketing management is priced as a monthly fee, execution on quote, because situations differ too much for a single price to mean anything. The first thirty-minute meeting is free and is used to define your case precisely.
Should all of the marketing be outsourced, or only part of it?
Rarely all of it. Most of our SME clients start with one subject, SEO, reviews or management, then widen if the results justify it. The outsourced marketing director can cover only strategy and coordination, with your team or your suppliers keeping execution. The arrangement is reversible: it is designed to set a direction, not to create dependency, and it includes recruiting your in-house profile the day it is justified.
-
The phone can ring more.
Let us decide how.Thirty minutes to size up your case: what your customers find when they look for you, what brings them back, and which lever to start with. Free, no obligation, and we will also tell you if the subject is not a priority for you.

Marketing consultant 65: supporting SMEs in the Hautes-Pyrénées
Engagements in Bigorre
Our offices are in Bayonne and Pau, and our engagements extend to Bigorre. A marketing consultant 65 must know the ground: Guilhem Arregle ran a course of around thirty hours at the Université de Technologie de Tarbes in 2024 and supported La Clé des Pyrénées Immobilier, in Arreau.
What the engagement delivers
When an SME in the Hautes-Pyrénées looks for a marketing consultant 65, the useful question is what will be delivered: local SEO, AI visibility, customer experience, customer reviews. Each ARETA engagement has its own indicators, tracked over time, and we tell you at the first conversation if the topic is not a priority.
Remote and on the ground
Our SEO, AI visibility and customer experience methods apply remotely anywhere in France. Fieldwork, such as observing the customer journey, is organised through planned visits. An outsourced marketing director requires a regular presence: its natural area remains the wider South-West.
