Frequently Asked Questions
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. Both describe the same practice — making your business the recommended answer inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Over 40% of Millennials now begin local lookups inside an AI assistant.
Traditional SEO targets Google’s ten blue links. GBP optimization targets the Map Pack — the three local-business listings that appear above the web results. Map Pack clicks convert at 3–5× the rate of ordinary organic clicks. We optimize for both.
Most clients see meaningful GBP (Google Business Profile) movement in 30–60 days, and top-3 organic results within 4–6 months for moderately competitive niches. AEO citations typically appear in 8–16 weeks. We commit to milestones in writing inside your Month-1 plan.
No. Every plan is month-to-month. Cancel any time, keep every asset we have built (content, schema, GBP, citations), and walk away.
Every week you get a short update — usually a 5-minute Loom video or a brief email — showing what we did, what’s moving, and what’s coming next. Every month you get a written report with the numbers that matter: rankings, calls, form fills, and booked jobs. You’re never chasing us for an update. If something urgent comes up, we reply within 4 business hours.
Yes — and this is the situation we see most often. Most local businesses we work with start behind at least 2–3 competitors in their city. We benchmark those competitors, find the gaps they’re missing (reviews, photos, posts, schema, AI citations), and methodically close those gaps. Most of our clients pass their direct competitors within 4–6 months, because their competitors usually aren’t doing any of this at all.
They can — but only while you keep paying. The minute you stop paying, the leads stop coming. What we do is the opposite: we bring you customers for free, and those customers keep coming month after month even when you’re not actively paying for anything. Most of our clients either cancel their ads entirely within 6 months, or just keep a tiny budget running while organic does the heavy lifting.
Honest answer: it depends on how well your website is built and how your Google Business Profile is set up. If we do our job right, the things we build — your reviews, your citations, and your website content — keep working for you even after we’re done. We also leave you with a simple monthly checklist so you can keep things healthy on your own, without paying us.
Once a month, we run live prompts inside ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, and Perplexity for the questions your customers actually ask — like “best plumber near me in Dallas” or “who does same-day AC repair in Tampa.” We screenshot every answer, log which business names come up, and show you the comparison month over month. If your name is showing up more often than it did last month, we know it’s working. If not, we adjust.
Google writes on its own website that no one can guarantee #1 ranking, and we agree with them. What we can guarantee is the process: a clear plan, transparent reporting, and a written commitment on the milestones we’ll hit. If we don’t hit a milestone we agreed on, you can leave — no questions, no fees.
