What's the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?
SEO ranks you in Google's regular results and Maps. AEO gets your page quoted when Google answers directly, in AI Overviews, featured snippets and People Also Ask. GEO gets your business named when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Perplexity a buying question. One body of work feeds all three: the same accurate facts, everywhere.
How long does AI SEO take to work?
New pages usually appear in Google within a few weeks, and reaching the top positions typically takes one and a half to several months. On one new client domain we saw first impressions in three days and an AI Overview citation two weeks after a page launched, but most gains build across the 12-month plan.
Can you guarantee I'll show up in ChatGPT?
No, and nobody honestly can. What we do is ask a fixed set of buyer questions across five AI engines every month, so you can see exactly where you're named, where you aren't, and what changed since the last report.
Do you add schema and structured data?
Yes. Organization, Service, FAQ and breadcrumb markup, plus location and article markup where it fits, always matching what's visible on the page. We don't mark up your own star rating, because Google ignores self-serving review markup and it can trigger a penalty.
Will you write the content with AI?
AI helps collect data and draft. A person checks every fact and figure against its source before anything is published, and pages are built from your real expertise rather than generic copy.
What do you need from me?
Access to Search Console, analytics and your website, manager access to your Google Business Profile, a short brand fact sheet, and a few minutes a month of expert input for the guides.
