FAQ

Do you write the French content yourself?

I can write it, or review and rewrite what your team or translators produce. French property managers immediately spot a translated website; the content has to sound native and use their vocabulary.

Which partners do you mean?

PMS and channel managers you can integrate with, professional associations, French industry media and events. I know most of these players personally.

What is GEO?

Generative Engine Optimization: making sure your brand is cited when French managers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini which tool to choose. It complements classic SEO on Google.

How much does it cost?

The strategy is priced on request, depending on the scope. You receive a fixed quote after a first call.

Can you execute the plan for us?

Yes. You can keep a monthly sparring partner while your team executes, or hand me the execution as your fractional French marketing lead, as I have done for PriceLabs since 2017.
