Question 1

Why doesn't ChatGPT mention my business?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT and other AI assistants select sources based on specific criteria: structured data, authoritative content, clear answers to common questions, and proper schema markup. If your website lacks these elements, AI systems simply can't "see" your content well enough to cite it. Our free audit shows you exactly what's missing and why AI search engines are skipping over your site.

Question 2

What is GEO optimization?

Accepted Answer

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the process of optimizing your website to appear in AI-powered search results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overview. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on ranking in search engine results pages, GEO ensures your content is selected and cited by AI systems when answering user queries.

Question 3

How is GEO different from SEO?

Accepted Answer

While SEO focuses on ranking in traditional search results, GEO optimizes for AI-generated answers. SEO targets keywords and backlinks, while GEO emphasizes structured data, conversational content, FAQ sections, and entity relationships. Most websites score 60-70 on SEO but only 35-45 on GEO because GEO is a newer optimization paradigm.

Question 4

Why do I need GEO optimization?

Accepted Answer

Over 40% of searches now involve AI assistants, and this is growing rapidly. If your site isn't GEO-optimized, you're invisible to users asking ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity questions about your industry. Our audits show businesses lose an average of 60% of potential AI search visibility without proper GEO optimization.

Question 5

How do I get my website to show up in Perplexity?

Accepted Answer

Perplexity prioritizes websites with clear, factual content, proper citations, and strong topical authority. To get cited, your site needs: comprehensive FAQ sections, schema markup that Perplexity can parse, content structured as direct answers to questions, and fast page loading. Our audit analyzes all these factors and shows you exactly what to fix.

Question 6

What is a good GEO score?

Accepted Answer

Based on analyzing 10,000+ websites, the average GEO score is just 38/100. A score of 60+ is good, 75+ is excellent, and 85+ puts you in the top 2% of websites. Most businesses haven't optimized for GEO yet, creating a major opportunity for early adopters.

Question 7

How long does GEO optimization take?

Accepted Answer

Our Essential package is completed within 45 days, Professional within 60 days, and Enterprise within 90 days. Unlike traditional SEO which can take 6-12 months to show results, GEO improvements often show impact within 2-4 weeks as AI systems quickly index structured changes.

Question 8

What's included in a GEO audit?

Accepted Answer

Our comprehensive audit analyzes 50+ factors including: SEO fundamentals, structured data (schema markup), FAQ optimization, content conversationality, entity relationships, answer-focused structure, mobile responsiveness, page speed, and AI-search readiness. You receive a detailed report with your scores and prioritized recommendations.

Question 9

Is the free audit really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free with no credit card required. You'll get your AI Visibility Score, a summary of critical issues, and a breakdown of your SEO, GEO, and AEO scores—all in about 90 seconds. The free audit shows you WHAT's wrong. If you want detailed instructions on HOW to fix everything, that's what the $99 Full Report provides.

Question 10

What's the difference between the free audit and the $99 report?

Accepted Answer

The free audit gives you your scores and identifies issues. The $99 Full Report unlocks everything: step-by-step fix instructions for every issue, copy-paste code snippets, schema markup templates, competitor analysis, priority rankings, and ROI projections. Think of it as the difference between a diagnosis and a complete treatment plan.

Question 11

Can I do GEO optimization myself?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it typically requires 60-80 hours of technical work including schema markup implementation, content restructuring, FAQ creation, and entity optimization. Most businesses find it more cost-effective to use our service, which includes expert implementation and ongoing monitoring.

Question 12

How do you measure GEO success?

Accepted Answer

We track several key metrics: appearances in ChatGPT responses, Perplexity citations, Claude mentions, Google AI Overview inclusion, voice search results, and overall AI search visibility. We also monitor your GEO score improvement and the percentage of critical issues resolved.

Question 13

What is schema markup and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Schema markup is structured data that helps AI systems understand your content. It's like adding labels to your website that say "this is a product", "this is a review", or "this answers a question". AI search engines rely heavily on schema markup to extract accurate information, making it essential for GEO.

Question 14

Do I still need traditional SEO if I have GEO?

Accepted Answer

Yes! GEO and SEO work together. SEO gets you found in traditional search, while GEO gets you cited by AI systems. The best strategy includes both. Our packages optimize for SEO, GEO, and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) to maximize your total search visibility.

Question 15

Which AI search engines do you optimize for?

Accepted Answer

We optimize for all major AI search platforms including ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Perplexity, Google's AI Overview (formerly SGE), Bing Chat, and emerging voice assistants. Our optimization techniques work across all AI systems because they share similar content evaluation criteria.

Question 16

How much does GEO optimization cost?

Accepted Answer

Our packages range from $2,997 (Essential) to $9,997 (Enterprise), with optional monthly retainers from $1,997-$4,997. We also offer a detailed audit report for $99. All packages include a 60-day money-back guarantee if you don't see improvement in your GEO score.

Question 17

What industries benefit most from GEO?

Accepted Answer

Every industry benefits, but we see the highest ROI in: legal services, healthcare, financial services, real estate, professional services, SaaS/technology, and e-commerce. Industries where customers research before buying see the most immediate impact from AI search visibility.

Question 18

How is your audit different from other SEO tools?

Accepted Answer

Most SEO tools only analyze traditional ranking factors. Our audit specifically evaluates GEO factors that determine AI search visibility: schema completeness, FAQ optimization, conversational content patterns, entity relationships, and answer-focused structure. We also test your actual appearance in AI search results.

Question 19

What if my GEO score doesn't improve?

Accepted Answer

We guarantee a minimum 30-point score improvement or your money back (60-day guarantee). In practice, our average client sees a 45-point increase. If your score doesn't improve as expected, we'll continue working until it does or provide a full refund.

Question 20

Will AI search optimization break my existing SEO?

Accepted Answer

No—in fact, it typically improves it. GEO optimization adds structured data, improves content clarity, and enhances user experience, all of which Google rewards. We've never seen a client's traditional SEO rankings decrease from GEO work. The techniques complement each other because both Google and AI systems value well-structured, authoritative content.

Question 21

What access do you need to my website?

Accepted Answer

For our done-for-you packages, we typically need CMS access (WordPress, Webflow, etc.) or the ability to edit HTML/add code snippets. We never need hosting credentials or database access. For the $99 DIY report, you don't need to provide any access—we analyze your public-facing website and give you instructions to implement yourself.

Question 22

Can you optimize existing content or do I need new content?

Accepted Answer

We work with your existing content first, restructuring and enhancing it for AI search. Most clients don't need entirely new content—just better optimization of what they have. However, we may recommend adding FAQ sections or filling content gaps for maximum GEO performance.

Question 23

How often should I update my GEO optimization?

Accepted Answer

Initial optimization is comprehensive, but AI search algorithms evolve. We recommend quarterly audits and updates. Our retainer packages ($1,997-$4,997/month) include ongoing monitoring, updates, and new content optimization to maintain your competitive advantage.

Question 24

What technical skills are required to implement GEO changes?

Accepted Answer

GEO implementation requires knowledge of HTML, schema.org markup, JSON-LD, content strategy, and SEO best practices. If you have a developer, we can provide detailed technical specifications. Otherwise, our Professional and Enterprise packages include full implementation.

Question 25

How do I know if my competitors are using GEO?

Accepted Answer

Try asking ChatGPT or Perplexity questions about your industry. If competitors are frequently cited but you're not, they may have better GEO. Our audit includes competitor analysis showing exactly how you compare to top-ranking sites in your industry for AI search visibility.

Question 26

What is AEO and how does it relate to GEO?

Accepted Answer

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses specifically on getting featured in answer boxes, voice search, and direct answer formats. GEO is broader, encompassing all AI-generated content including conversational responses. Our platform optimizes for both SEO, GEO, and AEO for maximum visibility.

Question 27

What happens if I wait to optimize for AI search?

Accepted Answer

AI search usage is growing 25-40% year over year. Every month you wait, competitors who optimize first capture more AI-generated referrals and establish themselves as the authoritative sources in your industry. Once an AI system learns to cite a competitor for certain queries, it becomes harder to displace them. Early movers have a significant advantage.

Question 28

Is AI search optimization a fad or here to stay?

Accepted Answer

AI search is the biggest shift in how people find information since Google launched. ChatGPT has over 200 million weekly users. Perplexity is growing exponentially. Google has integrated AI Overviews into most searches. Gartner predicts traditional search volume will drop 25% by 2026 as users shift to AI. This isn't a fad—it's the new reality of search.
