MANA

GEO Expert

Be the answer, not the absence

"Which local charity helps with school support?", "What IT provider works with small municipalities?", "How do I get my organisation cited by ChatGPT?" — these questions now get a ready-made answer, written by an AI that names three organisations and ignores all the others.

If yours isn't in the answer, you don't exist for the person who asked. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the discipline that makes your organisation one of the sources AIs cite — on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Copilot.

We practise it with a requirement you will not find anywhere else: your content, your data and your results stay in Europe — and we tell you exactly what does leave, and why.

What we do differently

Our services

What we won't tell you

You will meet offers promising you'll be "recommended by ChatGPT in 30 days", or "money-back guaranteed" on the same timeframe. These promises cannot be honoured in good faith: models absorb content on 4-to-12-week cycles. We prefer to show you measured curves, dated screenshots, and real timelines. It is slower to sell — and it is the only thing that holds.

You will also see AI-visibility tracking for under €300 a month. Look at the chain: in most cases, your content and answers transit through a US tool, and the "report" is a document generated without human intervention. Always ask two things before committing: where the data is hosted, and who writes the report.

FAQ

How soon will I see results?

Depending on your starting point: 3–8 weeks for a site already well ranked, 2–4 months for a decent but unoptimised site, 4–8 months for a recent site, longer in sensitive sectors. The audit tells you precisely which case is yours, and the Sonar shows progress month after month.

Does GEO replace traditional SEO?

No — and be wary of anyone claiming it does. SEO ranks you in Google; GEO makes you a source the AIs cite. The two reinforce each other. Our GEO services add to what you have; they don't demolish it.

Where is my data hosted?

On sovereign infrastructure, in France: that is where your data, our analyses and your reports are stored and processed. One nuance we state plainly, because measuring AI visibility makes it unavoidable: the engines we query — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot — are operated outside the EU. What we send them are public questions about your organisation, the same anyone could type. Never your internal content, your documents or your files. For public-sector and associative organisations under data-residency obligations, the engagement fits your constraints from day one — and we will put that distinction in writing.

We are a small organisation — is this for us?

On local and niche queries, competition is thin: a few well-built pieces of content are often enough to get cited, where saturated markets take years. Start with the audit; add Sonar if you want to keep watching.

What happens if an AI says something false about us?

That is one of the situations Sonar detects as a priority: you are alerted within 5 business days, with the capture of the wrong answer and our reading of the levers to correct it — models realign with reliable sources when those are numerous and consistent enough.

Can I cancel the Sonar subscription?

Yes, any time from month three, no fees, no formalities. We prefer you stay because the service serves you, not because a contract holds you.
