03 / ACQUISITION

Where do users come from?

Traffic estimate 2026-09 picked up only 4 keywords, all brand keyword variants (iacafe, lia café academy, and so on), which shows there is very little off-site search traffic and that new users mostly learned the brand elsewhere and then searched the name. The homepage embeds a LinkedIn "Suis-moi" link for the founder (probably Anthony Quinchon; Speculation), and has a Sunday AI news email, a WhatsApp group "L'IA Café Club" (claiming 400+ active members), and 5 testimonials from people at French small businesses and training organizations. The founder did not fill in a channel on Revenue record. Returning users stay through the weekly live workshops, weekly new tutorials, and the WhatsApp community.

Channel share, initial acquisition, and growth drivers are distinct; correlation does not imply proven causation.
