What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO, or Generative Engine Optimization, is the practice of preparing a website so that AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity can find, understand and cite it. It combines clean structured data, clear entity definitions, factual content and authority signals so AI engines confidently use your business as a source.

How is GEO different from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO optimizes for blue-link search results on Google and Bing. GEO optimizes for AI-generated answers, where engines synthesize content from multiple sources. The two overlap, but GEO requires stronger structured data, fact-rich content and explicit entity context so AI engines can trust and quote your site.

Which AI search engines do you optimize for?

We optimize for ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Claude (Anthropic), Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. We also cover Bing Copilot and emerging answer engines used by local U.S. customers.

How long does the free audit take?

Your free SEO, GEO and AI visibility audit is delivered within 24 hours of submitting the form. The report includes your SEO score, GEO score, performance score, overall score and the highest-impact opportunities for your business.

Do I need to share access to my Google Business Profile?

No, the free audit only uses public data from your website, Google Maps and AI search engines. Access to your Google Business Profile is only required if you hire us to implement Google Business Profile Optimization.

How much do your services cost?

Pricing depends on the scope. Standalone services typically start in the low four figures per month, while our Complete Growth Package is custom-quoted based on your industry, city and current visibility. The free audit always carries no cost.

Do you only work with U.S. businesses?

Yes, our methodology and pricing are designed for local service businesses in the United States. We specialize in high-value U.S. industries such as roofing, HVAC, landscaping, dentistry, med spas, legal, contracting and auto repair.

How quickly will I see results?

Most clients see measurable improvements in Core Web Vitals and Google Business Profile signals within 30 days. Local organic ranking and AI citation improvements typically appear within 60 to 90 days of consistent implementation.

How do you measure success?

We measure SEO score, GEO score, Core Web Vitals, Google Business Profile actions (calls, direction requests, website clicks), local pack ranking and AI citation share. Every client receives a monthly report comparing these KPIs against the original audit baseline.

What industries do you specialize in?

We focus on high-value U.S. local industries: roofing, HVAC, landscaping, dentists, med spas, attorneys, general contractors and auto repair shops. Our process is tuned to the search and AI behavior of customers searching for these services.
