SEO optimizes for traditional search engine result pages, the ranked blue links. GEO (generative engine optimization), also called AEO (answer engine optimization), optimizes for AI-generated answers in tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. They share foundations, but GEO adds clear, well-structured, citable answers and strong entity signals. We run both together. ### How do I get my business to show up in AI answers like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews? AI engines cite sources that are clearly written, well-structured, and trusted. That means direct answers to real questions, schema markup, strong topical authority, and mentions across the web. Our GEO program builds exactly these signals so your brand gets surfaced and cited in AI answers. ### How long does SEO take to work? SEO compounds over time. Most clients see meaningful movement within 3 to 6 months, with results strengthening from there. Technical fixes and well-targeted content can produce quicker wins, but durable rankings are built steadily, and we report progress every month. ### Do you do local SEO for specific cities? Yes. We optimize Google Business Profiles, build location-specific pages, and earn local citations so you rank in the cities you serve, across both the United States and Canada. ### How do you report on SEO and GEO results? You get a clear monthly report covering rankings, organic traffic, AI-answer visibility, and the work completed, tied to the metrics that matter to your business, not vanity numbers.
