How long before we start getting cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity?

First citations typically appear in week 6 to 10 if cornerstone content goes live by week 4 and source-quality signal building starts week 5. Compound effect (10+ buyer queries cited consistently) shows up around month 4 to 6. AI engines re-train and update citation patterns on cycles measured in weeks, not days.

How is this different from traditional SEO?

Three things. (1) Target is the AI answer, not the Google rank. Different content patterns, different schema priorities. (2) Source-quality signals matter more than backlink count. (3) Reporting is citation share per query, not keyword rank position. SEO buys you Google traffic; GEO + AEO buys you presence in the answer your buyer sees instead of clicking through.

What if my category isn't being asked about in AI assistants yet?

We tell you no in week 1. If buyer-stage queries about your category have under 500 monthly searches across the five AI engines combined, the math doesn't work yet. Come back when the volume is there, or run different demand-creation work in the meantime.

Will this hurt or help my existing Google SEO?

Helps it. The cornerstone content patterns that work for AI citation (clear definitions, structured framings, schema markup, source-quality signals) are also the patterns that work for Google's AI Overviews and rich results. The two compound rather than compete.

How do you measure success?

Citation share per tracked query, measured weekly across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. Plus inbound traffic and conversions attributable to AI-engine referrals. Not generic SEO metrics. Not Yoast scores.

Which AI engines do you focus on?

All five major engines: ChatGPT (with web), Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude (with web). Different engines weight different signals; we tune for the multi-engine optimization, not for any one. Single-engine optimization is fragile.

Do you write the actual cornerstone content, or do we?

Either works. We draft cornerstone content for you (B2B-operator writers, not generalists), or we provide the framing structure and you have your team write to it. The framing library is the leverage; the writing is the labor. Both paths produce comparable citation share.

Who owns the framing library, cornerstone content, and citation tracker at handover?

You do. The framing library, cornerstone content, citation tracker setup, Looker Studio dashboard, and schema markup are all in your accounts and properties from day 1. We give a 14-day handover with a recorded walkthrough so your team or future agency can run the same plays.

What does a GEO + AEO engagement cost?

We do not publish a number because every engagement is sized to the query map depth, cornerstone content volume, and source-quality work scope. What we will say upfront: 90-day minimum then month-to-month, priced for outcomes (citation share gain per query) rather than retainer hours. The first call gives you a number tailored to your scope.

What is the difference between generative engine optimization services and answer engine optimization services?

Generative engine optimization services get your brand cited inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude. Answer engine optimization services structure your content so it is the source those engines quote. We run both as one program: cornerstones, schema, and a citation network.
