| ChatGPT | « Which campsite do you recommend in Castellane? » | Camping La Ferme cited |

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) relies on three pillars:
The Google Business Profile is often the first point of contact between a traveler and an establishment. An optimized profile can transform a simple display into a booking.

We didn't think SEO could change so much for a campsite. We went from the second page of Google to the first position. And direct bookings exploded.
Florin showed us that ChatGPT didn't even know our hotel. A few months later, we are recommended in the responses. This is a huge advantage over our competitors.
What I liked was the concrete approach. No jargon, no empty promises. A clear diagnosis, an action plan, and measurable results.
Testimonials used for illustrative purposes of our method. The results presented are representative of the support provided.
We analyze your current presence: website, Google positions, Google Business Profile, AI presence, reviews, local competition. You know exactly where you stand and where the opportunities are.
Based on the diagnosis, we build an action plan adapted to your establishment, your objectives, and your budget. No generic formula: each strategy is unique.
We deploy actions: technical optimizations, content creation, Google Business Profile work, Schema.org markup, AI visibility strategy. You don't have to manage anything daily.
Each month, you receive a clear report: Google positions, traffic, bookings, Google profile evolution. We continuously adjust the strategy to maximize results.
