Does Iluma actually have a New York presence?

HQ in Montréal with a NYC satellite office that supports U.S. clients and Quebec brands expanding into New York. SEO/GEO work ships remotely from Montréal; in-person meetings happen in NYC by appointment.

Why hire a Montréal-based agency for New York?

Operating cost ~40% lower than an equivalent Manhattan agency, organic-only method (no ad spend to burn), and rare bilingual expertise for Québec or European brands that want to stay accessible in French while ranking in NYC.

What kind of New York clients does Iluma take?

NY local SMBs (restaurants, clinics, professional services), non-profits (donor funnel + ChatGPT/Perplexity citations), growth-stage e-commerce, and Québec/Canadian brands entering the U.S. market. The Iluma cluster method transposes to any English-speaking local market.

How is Iluma different from a standard NYC SEO agency?

Zero paid media, ever. Website included in the mandate (most NY agencies bill $15-50k for the build alone). 1-month notice with no penalty. And an Answer-First + schema discipline specifically built to get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini.
