AI search optimization, often called GEO, is the work of getting your brand named and cited inside answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews. It builds on strong SEO and adds entity clarity, structured data, crawler access and content that AI systems can quote with confidence. ### How long does SEO take to show results? Technical fixes and local profile work can move within weeks. Competitive organic rankings usually take three to six months of steady work. We set milestones in the first month so you can see progress long before the big wins land. ### Do you work with local businesses or only enterprise brands? Both. Our team has run SEO for household-name brands and for single-location service businesses. Multi-location groups tend to get the most from us, since they need enterprise process at a local level. ### What do I get in the free audit?
