Who I am

Making data accessible to all

I firmly believe that data should be a lever accessible to everyone, not just analysts. It's this conviction that gave birth to GreenRed.

Before founding GreenRed, I spent more than 15 years in management positions in SEO agencieswe help companies of all sizes - from very small businesses to major brands - to define their KPIs, set up dashboards and train their internal teams.

In 2023, I created GreenRed with a simple idea: centralize SEO, SEA, Analytics, social networks, backlinks and even GEO (artificial intelligence visibility). The aim: to detect growth opportunities and help optimize each page of a site, without navigating between 8 different interfaces.

At the same time, I continue to train - BTS, Licence and Master students at the Sorbonne Nouvelle, ECS and Naïas Formation, as well as in-house marketers. I believe in a pedagogical approach concrete, measurable and results-oriented.

Today, my mission is clear: to help SMEs and brands regain control of their marketing performance through an approach focused on data, education and efficiency.

"SEO with its 10 blue links is becoming the old world. Today, your customers aren't just searching Google - they're asking ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity. And there, either the AI cites you as THE solution, or you simply don't exist. That's why we created GreenRed: to stop navigating blindly."

- Sylvain VIDAL, founder of GreenRed
