The guy behind Granvo
I know what a client who shows up convinced is worth.
Hi, I'm Cédric Lavergne. I run five businesses in the Outaouais: Alix Services, a restaurant in Gatineau, a catering business, Obrio and Granvo. Like you, I write quotes, and I know how much real work and good reviews count when a client compares. I started Granvo so your website makes you look as solid as your work.
I approve every website before it goes live, and everything we write about your business has to be verifiable.

The right contracts
A page for every contract you want.
Your client types the service, the area and often the price, like “prix tonte de pelouse Gatineau” (lawn mowing price, Gatineau). Google shows them pages, its AI Overview sums up the answer and ChatGPT names businesses.
Those answers rely in large part on the pages they find. Together, we pick the services and areas that deserve their own page, depending on your package, so your answer is clear for every search that matters to you. The website of Alix Services, Cédric's company, puts the idea to work with more than 50 bilingual pages.

FAQ
Common questions about getting a website built.
How much does a website cost for a small business in Gatineau?
At Granvo, there are three fixed-price packages: Présence at $1,500 (one page), Vitrine at $3,200 (up to 7 pages) and Signature at $6,500 (up to 12 pages). Copywriting and bilingual content are included in all three. You pay half to get started and the balance once you've approved your website.
Can a website help me defend my prices?
It can help. When a client compares several contractors, they look at their websites too. If they see real work and reviews on yours, they trust you more and have fewer reasons to negotiate. That said, nobody can guarantee that your clients will accept your price, or promise you a number of contracts.
What's the difference between the packages?
Présence is one clear page, in French and English, with your Google profile. Vitrine goes up to 7 pages, one per service, with your before/after gallery, your reviews, your licence and your insurance. Signature goes up to 12 pages, by service and by area, with a step-by-step quote form, 3 articles and a written 90-day review. A chatbot, an online store or online booking can be added as options, at the price written in your quote.
How long before my website is live?
We start with a first preview, then two rounds of adjustments. How long it takes depends mostly on how quickly we go back and forth.
Do I have to provide the text and the photos?
Not the text: we write it in all three packages, in French and English, from a 15 to 20 minute call and a short questionnaire. For images, we showcase your job site photos and, when needed, create AI-generated mood images, included in the price. They are never presented as your work.
Do I need a bilingual website in Gatineau?
If you have clients in Ottawa or English-speaking clients, yes. French and English are included in all our packages. And if your business is in Quebec, the law requires the French version to be at least as complete and as easy to access as the English one, so we build the French first.
Will my website show up on Google?
We build what matters for local SEO: pages for your main services and areas (depending on your package), titles written for searches in your region, structured data, registration with Google Search Console and the link to your Google profile. Nobody can promise a specific position, and the first effects usually take 3 to 6 months.
What about ChatGPT, Gemini or other AI assistants?
These tools rely in large part on the same signals as Google and Bing: a clear, up-to-date website, accurate information about your business, reviews and mentions elsewhere on the web. We structure your website so they can read it easily. Nobody can guarantee that an assistant will name your business.
Is it made with AI?
In large part, yes. We produce with AI tools, and Cédric approves every website before it goes live. Every fact about your business comes from you or from a source we can show you.
Who owns the website and the domain name?
You do. The domain is registered in your name, and its first year is included in your package. After that, renewal is included in Tranquillité. If you decide to leave, we hand over your website, your files and your access within 5 business days, with no penalty.
Are there monthly fees?
Only if you want them. Tranquillité, at $129 a month, covers hosting, small changes, your Google profile kept up to date and a report every month. The first two months are included and there's no commitment. You can also look after your website yourself.
Can you redo my current website?
Yes, with the same packages and the same prices. We start from your website, your Google profile and your photos. Your old site stays online until you approve the new one, and your address doesn't change when your domain is in your name.
