FAQ

Quick answers.

What is GEO and how is it different from SEO?+
GEO (generative engine optimization) is the practice of making your brand visible and citable inside AI answers from tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. SEO targets ranked lists of links; GEO targets being the answer. They overlap heavily - clean structure, real expertise and strong entities help both. Full comparison here.
How do I get my brand cited by ChatGPT and other AI tools?+
AI tools cite brands that are well-described across the open web: consistent entity information, structured pages that answer specific questions directly, original data, and mentions on sources the models trust. The AI search visibility checklist covers the full list.
Where should a D2C brand start - SEO, paid ads or CRO?+
Usually CRO first if you already have traffic, because it makes every other channel cheaper. Then paid for speed, then SEO and GEO for compounding organic growth. The frameworks above show how the three work together.
Are these guides and checklists free to use?+
Yes. Every guide, framework and checklist in this library is free and linkable. They come from real client work across 300+ brands - the same systems used in paid engagements.
