About MOZAR

MOZAR is an SEO, Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) audit platform built by HQ LOGIC in Tours, France. In a single run it scores how a brand appears across classic Google search, answer engines (featured snippets, FAQ) and the generative AI surfaces — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Claude — that increasingly drive discovery. Each audit returns one overall score, three pillar scores and a prioritised 90-day action plan, so teams fix the highest-impact gaps first instead of drowning in undifferentiated findings.
