FAQ
GEO is optimising your online presence so you show up in AI-powered platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity. It's about being visible beyond Google.
Yes. GEO and SEO are complementary. SEO lays the foundation (crawlability, authority, performance), and GEO builds on that to reach users through AI-driven answers. Doing only one limits exposure.
llms.txt is (or will be) a file similar to robots.txt but for LLMs. It tells AI models how to crawl or interpret your site content (what to include, exclude, preferences).
Look for an agency that aligns with your business values and communicates clearly. We prioritise transparency, regular updates, and creating a strategy that's customised to your business needs and goals.
Yes! Google Ads provide immediate traffic, but they stop delivering once your budget runs out. SEO builds sustainable, long-term visibility by ensuring your website ranks naturally. Think of it like planting a tree: Google Ads are like instant fruit from a market, while SEO is about nurturing a tree that bears fruit for years.
