Frequently asked questions about SEO, GEO and AEO services
Practical answers to common buyer questions. Each topic has one main home to avoid repeating full explanations across the website.
Hiring and scope
What does SEO consulting do for a business?
It studies how buyers search, identifies visibility and conversion barriers and prioritizes improvements. Your team can execute the work, or implementation can be agreed separately.
How is consulting different from implementation?
Consulting provides assessment, strategy and agreed guidance. Implementation means making, validating and documenting agreed changes.
How much do SEO, GEO and AEO services cost?
Fees depend on site condition, page count, languages, competition, technical scope and execution needs. We quote based on your project rather than invented fixed prices.
Can I buy an audit without implementation?
Yes. An audit can be scoped independently, with findings and recommendations, without requiring a subsequent implementation engagement.
What will I receive after the assessment?
Evidence-backed findings, priorities, recommendations and next steps according to the agreed scope, with deliverables and exclusions described in the proposal.
Do you work with companies in different countries?
Yes. We define languages and markets around the business and can provide remote consulting and implementation within the agreed scope.
Must I share passwords before contacting you?
No. We first agree on the scope. Any later access should use appropriate channels and minimum necessary permissions.
Results, timelines and measurement
How long does SEO take?
Indexing, impressions, clicks and enquiries develop at different speeds. There is no universal timeline; we establish a baseline and agreed review points.
Do you guarantee first-place rankings?
No. Search rankings depend on competition and search systems outside any consultant’s control.
Which metrics matter?
Depending on available data: crawlability, indexing, queries, impressions, clicks, valid enquiries and commercial opportunities. Visibility is not the same as revenue.
How do you measure a lead?
Ideally, a conversion event fires only after a confirmed form submission and can be connected to a sales record. Button clicks alone are not customers.
What if my website is brand new?
We can assess architecture, content, crawling, sitemaps and forms before enough performance data is available.
Will an audit automatically increase traffic?
No. An audit identifies improvements; outcomes depend on implementation, competition and observation time.
Technical SEO and content
What is SEO cannibalization?
It can occur when multiple URLs target substantially the same intent and compete for the same role. Shared words alone do not prove cannibalization.
Should I create one page per keyword?
No. Each page should serve a distinct purpose. Improving or linking existing pages is often better than publishing repetitive variations.
How can indexing improve?
We check accessibility, internal links, sitemaps, robots directives, canonicals and page usefulness. Requesting indexing does not guarantee inclusion.
Can you optimize bilingual websites?
Yes. We assess translated page pairs, useful localized content, navigation, reciprocal hreflang and language-specific canonicals.
Do I need to publish blog posts every week?
No. We prioritize useful commercial pages and guides that answer real buyer needs; frequency alone does not guarantee results.
AI visibility: GEO and AEO
What is GEO?
It is the practice of examining and improving how a company may be found, described and cited in generative search experiences. It shares SEO foundations.
What is AEO?
It emphasizes clear, useful answers to questions for people and search systems. It overlaps with SEO and GEO and does not always require a separate service.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT recommends my company?
No. Answers vary by platform, prompt, context and time. We can examine sources and observed mentions, not control third-party outputs.
How do you measure AI mentions?
We document representative prompts by service and language, dates, answers and cited sources, then compare observations. Citations are not rankings or sales.
Do I need a special AI file?
No universal special file guarantees AI appearances. Helpful, accessible and verifiable information remains fundamental.
What if an AI describes my business incorrectly?
We check whether public information is consistent, clear and accessible, document sources and recommend corrections on channels the business controls.
Working together
What do you need for a proposal?
Your website URL, services, target markets, main challenge and any available Search Console or enquiry data.
Who implements the changes?
Depending on the engagement, your team works from our recommendations or we execute the agreed changes.
Can you work on a site that already ranks?
Yes. We assess existing high-performing pages before changing URLs, titles or structure to reduce unnecessary risk.
Do you publish project results?
Only with sufficient evidence, context, permission and responsible attribution.
