FAQ

Questions buyers ask before hiring a GEO agency

What does a GEO agency actually do?

A GEO agency improves how your brand appears across AI search and recommendation surfaces like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI results. That usually includes audits, prompt discovery, content changes, citation strategy, and ongoing monitoring.

Is GEO different from SEO?

Yes. SEO focuses on ranking in traditional search results. GEO focuses on becoming a trusted source and recommendation inside AI-generated answers. Strong SEO still helps, but GEO needs different measurement and content structure.

Do you only provide strategy, or do you execute too?

Cite Solutions is a managed service. We do the audit, identify the gaps, create the content and execution materials, and run the ongoing monitoring loop.

How do you measure results?

We track AI visibility metrics like citation rate, recommendation presence, source share, prompt coverage, and citation drift, then turn those changes into concrete actions.
