Formation GEO: Generative Engine Optimization
Visit Formation GEO: Generative Engine Optimization on Vendor academyFormation GEO: Generative Engine Optimization review: a vendor academy program on Vendor academy from Eskimoz Academy, taught by Olivier Filloux, ranked 1 of 6 French programs with a composite of 71.5 at low confidence, evidence tier B (checked 18 September 2026).
Price $1,378 (EUR 1,200) one-off (checked 18 Sep 2026), trend falling across 2 dated prices. Rating: 5.0 of 5 from 1 review on Trustpilot (checked 18 Sep 2026). No member or enrolment count is published (checked 18 Sep 2026). Curriculum: 7 of 13 tracked flags confirmed, 1 confirmed absent, 5 unverified.
Verdict
Formation GEO sits at evidence tier B on the strength of one public rating: 5 of 5 from 1 reviewer on Trustpilot. Evidence that thin means confidence is low, so the directory lists the course on the other-languages hub without a rank. What Eskimoz Academy does publish is clear enough: 5 modules across 4 hours, a named trainer in Olivier Filloux, and a curriculum running from GEO foundations to off-site work and prompt tracking. It fits a French-speaking team with a training budget and a preference for a structured course. Skip it if you need a published refund policy or an enrolment count you can check.
Who it fits
- French-speaking beginners with a company training budget
- Enterprise teams that want GEO taught in French
- Buyers who value a named trainer over review volume
Who should skip it
- Anyone who needs instruction in English
- Buyers who want a refund policy in writing
- Learners who want live calls or a community

Formation GEO: Generative Engine Optimization review: questions
How much does Formation GEO: Generative Engine Optimization cost?
$1,377.72 as a one-off payment, converted from euros and checked 18 September 2026. The seller's page shows a starting price in the hero section and a different figure including tax in the financing section, with no explanation reconciling them. The recorded price trend is down.
Does Formation GEO have a refund policy?
Eskimoz Academy does not publish a refund policy for this course; checked 18 September 2026. It also publishes no enrolment or class size figure. It does put the price on its own site, name the trainer and list the modules, which is more than many records manage.
Who teaches Formation GEO?
Olivier Filloux, named on the course page and listed on the Eskimoz agency page as GEO Director. The record holds no published AI search tests or earlier courses under his name. The small amount of public commentary praises his teaching and the breadth of the material. Checked 18 September 2026.
What does Formation GEO cover?
5 modules across 4 hours of distance training in French: GEO foundations, semantic content, technical structure, off-site strategy and prompt and performance tracking. The page names ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Mistral. Local AI SEO is not covered, and AEO, entity SEO and crawler access are unverified.
Is Formation GEO worth it?
At $1,377.72 it sits well above the directory's median one-off price of $337.97, and the public evidence behind it is a single rating. The page also says the training is certified without naming an accrediting body. Worth it if a French-language employer-funded course is what you need.
