What are GEO and AEO, and how are they different from SEO?+
SEO puts you in Google's results. GEO, generative engine optimization, puts you in the answer ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google's AI Overview gives when someone asks for a recommendation; the AI reads your license record, your directories, your reviews, and your own site before it names you. AEO, answer engine optimization, gets your page quoted as the answer to a question: the featured snippet, People also ask, the AI Overview. All three read the same pages and the same records, so I do them together, and a fix for one moves the other two.
Do you only work with Oregon businesses?+
Local SEO, GEO, and AEO are for businesses in Oregon, because that is where I am and where I can check the work in person. E-commerce work is for stores anywhere.
Who does the work?+
I do. There is no account manager and no team overseas. You talk to the person who is in the site.
How long before it pays off?+
Technical and listing fixes show in weeks. AI answers update as the sources they read update, usually within a month or two. Rankings for harder searches take months. The consultation gives a timeline for each.
What if I just need a website?+
Then start there. The website redesign page covers what a rebuild includes and how it fits with the search work.
