Qwairy overview — May 7, 2026: Here's what changed in under 3 months:

The brand-mention rate measures how often Bluecoders is mentioned in AI responses across the prompts tracked in Qwairy. The source-citation rate measures how often the AI models pull Bluecoders' website as a source when generating responses. Share of Voice is Bluecoders' presence relative to direct competitors.

What Thibaut Actually Did

The strategy had two parallel tracks: on-site content production, and off-site authority building.

Track 1 — New Content Targeting High-Value Prompts

The first move was identifying which queries AI models were already answering about Bluecoders' market. Thibaut used Qwairy's Prompt Tracking feature, which monitors how AI models respond to a curated set of queries relevant to the brand. This surfaced over 50 prompt opportunities across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

Examples of high-value prompts identified via Qwairy's Prompt Tracking (among 50+): From those, he prioritized: "Quelles sont les meilleures agences de recrutement tech en 2026 ?" ("What are the best tech recruitment agencies in 2026?"). Thibaut then wrote a comprehensive article optimized for both SEO and GEO — structured for LLM extraction, grounded in real field knowledge from a Bluecoders recruitment expert, and following clean semantic markup practices.

The article was picked up as a source by AI models immediately after publication: When you test the query today in Gemini, ChatGPT, or Perplexity, Bluecoders appears — often with a direct link to that article:

Track 2 — Backlinks and Brand Mentions on Authority Sites

In parallel, Thibaut built a pipeline of off-site mentions targeting websites that AI models already use as sources in the tech recruiting vertical. He identified these sites using Qwairy's Backlink Opportunities feature, which shows which third-party domains the AI models cite most frequently when answering the tracked prompts. This turns link-building from a volume game into a precision operation: get mentioned on the sites the AI models trust, and you get cited by the AI models.

Backlink opportunities identified via Qwairy (125 opportunities across 7 pages): One notable collaboration: Jedha.co — 150K organic visitors per month, Domain Authority 52 — published a page mentioning Bluecoders by name with a backlink. That page now circulates in AI responses about the French tech ecosystem.

Ongoing: AI-Assisted Strategy with Qwairy's Assistant

At the end of each month, Thibaut presents clients with a performance review: metrics progression, actions completed, and the next-priority actions. For that last part, he now asks Qwairy's built-in AI Assistant: "What are the next priority actions to improve our performance?" The assistant returns a prioritized action plan based on the client's current data — highlighting which sections of Qwairy to focus on, what to do, and in what order.

Qwairy AI Assistant output for Bluecoders: The assistant doesn't replace Thibaut's expertise — it makes that expertise faster to apply.

What Made This Work

Three factors drove the results:

1. Query-first content production. Rather than guessing what to write, Thibaut used Qwairy's prompt data to identify what AI models are already being asked about the market — then wrote content that answers those questions authoritatively. The content didn't just rank; it became a source.

2. Authority-site targeting for off-site mentions. Traditional link-building prioritizes DA and traffic. GEO-optimized link-building adds a third filter: does this site already get cited by AI models in this vertical? Qwairy made that filter actionable.

3. Fast feedback loops. With Qwairy tracking results in near-real-time, Thibaut could confirm within days whether a published article was being picked up as a source. That shortens the strategy iteration cycle from months to weeks.
