What is GEO Marketing?
Generative Engine Optimization is the practice of making a brand show up as the answer when a customer asks an AI engine like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini a question in the brand's category. It is structurally different from classic SEO because AI engines retrieve from a smaller, more curated set of sources and reward entity-grounded brands with proper schema, sameAs chains, and a 50-plus mention authority footprint.
How long does it take to see results?
Most brands see initial AI mention rate lift inside 30 days on Perplexity (which weights directories heavily) and inside 60 days on ChatGPT and Claude (which weight schema and Wikidata). Gemini lags 60 to 90 days because it is grounded in Google Search results which respond more slowly. The daily mention dashboard captures the lift in real time across all four engines.
What is the difference between GEO and SEO?
Classic SEO competes for the top 10 blue links in Google search. GEO competes for the single answer paragraph an AI engine returns. SEO rewards keyword density, backlinks, and pages. GEO rewards entity grounding, schema rigor, citation surface saturation, and 40 to 75 word answer paragraphs in the front 30 percent of every page. Most clients need both. We bundle them when budgets allow.
What is included in the SEO + GEO Low Competition tier at $3,500 per month?
Topical authority blogging, full Google Business Profile marketing, full-stack technical and on-page SEO, schema markup (FAQ, HowTo, Organization, Speakable), HARO link building, digital PR, Reddit marketing, entity marketing, citation surface management, AI visibility tracking across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini, and a monthly status report with quarterly QBR call. Month 1 includes the AI Visibility and Citation Authority Audit.
How is the daily mention dashboard different from monthly reports?
Most agencies ship monthly PDFs with last month's data. We run an 8-prompt panel across 4 AI engines every morning at 7 AM and append the results to a rolling history. The dashboard shows week-over-week mention rate deltas per engine, top cited domains by engine (so we know who is winning AI mention share in your category), and Slack alerts when significant moves happen. You see proof of growth daily, not 30 days after the fact.
Do you require a long-term contract?
Twelve-month minimums on all retainers. SEO and GEO are compounding work. The content, authority footprint, entity grounding, and schema build on each other month over month. Month 1 work doesn't pay back fully until month 4 or 5. Twelve months gives the cumulative work time to land. Cancel anytime after month 12 with 30 days notice.
What if I'm not ready for a retainer yet?
Start with the free AI Visibility and Citation Authority Audit. We run the full audit pipeline, ship the report and the 30-day action plan, and you keep both regardless of whether you hire us. Zero commitment. It shows you exactly where your brand sits on the AI maturity ladder and what's blocking Google rank growth. From there you can decide which retainer makes sense.
