Public GEO Evidence Among Agencies in France: Wave 1 Aggregate Dataset and Methodology

An anonymized aggregate dataset from Wave 1 of the Edikka Observatory of Public GEO Evidence in France. Thirty commercial entities offering GEO, AI SEO, AEO or related services to the French market were selected through five preregistered French-language web-search queries. The frozen protocol applied 18 public binary controls: eight web-foundation controls and ten public-evidence controls. Technical observations were repeated more than 18 hours apart and 300 editorial decisions were documented. All 30 entities published an identifiable GEO-related offer, but 9 of 30 published at least one element meeting the study's third-party-verifiability rule. The public release contains aggregate counts only. It includes no entity name, domain, individual score, source URL, third-party excerpt or agency-specific recommendation. This is not an agency ranking and does not assess confidential work, client satisfaction or overall competence. Method version: 2026-07-15.v1.0.2. Collection dates: 15-16 July 2026.
