Back to original languageAbout Virginie
A one-woman army.
I structure, I execute, I make visible.
20 years of field experience: travel agencies, outdoor structures, accommodations, festival management.
Annecy · France & Switzerland, remote and on-site.
- YOU WON'T FIND YOURSELF ON AI
Your clients are no longer just searching on Google. They're asking ChatGPT where to go, what activity to book, where to stay. If you're not in the answer, you don't exist.
I measure your visibility on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google, identify why AI isn't citing you, and I fix it: content, structure, third-party sources, entity consistency. This is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization).
- GEO Audit · 90-Day GEO Sprint · GEO Watch (monthly follow-up)
- A method, deliverables, a measurement: baseline, retest at 90 days. No citation guaranteed.
For: travel agencies, tour operators, outdoor structures, accommodations, tourist offices.
- YOU CAN'T MANAGE EVERYTHING ANYMORE
Your business is running, but you're overwhelmed. Your projects are piling up. Your organization relies solely on you.
I dive into your structure and help you move things forward: project management, process structuring, team and contractor coordination, automation, management tools, CRM, back-office, production.
- On-site option: event management, eductours, tour leading, high season support
For: tourism, travel, leisure, outdoor, and events.
- YOU NEED TO BE AWAY
Vacation, travel, sick leave, parental leave. You can't afford for everything to stop, or to spiral out of control.
I'll hold the fort: day-to-day management, team and contractor coordination, client relations, emergencies within a scope defined with you, reporting. You'll return to a business that kept running.
- From 1 week to 3 months
For: tourism, travel, leisure, outdoor.
I don't advise from afar by sending PDFs. I get involved.
