GEO Consultant
A GEO consultant who tells you why AI skips your brand, and exactly what to fix
Generative engine optimization consulting for teams that can execute but need the strategy, the priorities, and a real way to measure citation share across every major AI answer surface.
A GEO consultant diagnoses why your brand is absent from AI answers and builds the plan to fix it. The engagement covers an answer-layer audit, prompt and competitor analysis, a ranked source and content roadmap, schema and technical recommendations, and a framework to measure citation share. A consultant advises and directs the work. A managed service also executes it for you.

FAQ
Questions about GEO consulting
What does a GEO consultant do?
A GEO consultant diagnoses why a brand is missing from AI answers and builds the plan to fix it. The work spans an answer-layer audit, prompt and competitor analysis, a source and content roadmap, schema and technical recommendations, and a measurement framework for citation share. A consultant advises and directs; a managed service also executes the plan week to week.
GEO consultant or GEO agency: which do I need?
Hire a GEO consultant when you have an internal team that can execute and you need strategy, prioritization, and a measurement system. Hire a GEO agency when you need the work done for you, including content, technical fixes, and the weekly monitoring loop. Many brands start with a consulting audit, then move to managed services once the gaps are clear.
How much does a GEO consultant cost?
GEO consulting is usually billed as a fixed-scope audit and roadmap, or a monthly advisory retainer for ongoing prioritization. Cite Solutions scopes both after a discovery call, because the right depth depends on how many platforms, prompts, and verticals you need covered.
What should a GEO consulting engagement deliver?
A strong engagement leaves you with a baseline of your current citation share, a ranked list of the prompts and sources to win first, the specific technical and content changes that move them, and a dashboard or method to track progress across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and AI Overviews.
