Question 1

What is GEO, and how is it different from SEO?

Accepted Answer

GEO is generative engine optimization — getting named when someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini for a local pick. SEO is still Google. You want both. I don't replace your SEO person. I work the layer they usually skip.

Question 2

How do I get my business to show up on ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

First we measure. I run the questions a customer would ask across all four platforms and write down who gets named. Then we work the signals those models use. There's no submit-your-URL-and-wait button. That's why the audit exists.

Question 3

What does a GEO agency do for a local business?

Accepted Answer

I measure your AI visibility, explain why a competitor gets recommended, improve the signals, and show you the change.

Question 4

How long does it take to appear in AI answers?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the gap. I won't clock you a first mention. The audit is where you stand this week. The retainer is how we move it and prove it.

Question 5

Which businesses is this for?

Accepted Answer

Dental, med spa, law, restaurants, fitness, HVAC, salons, real estate. Markets: Miami, Coral Gables, South Miami, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Pinecrest.

Question 6

I already have a website. Do I still need this?

Accepted Answer

A site is the source. GEO is whether the models can find you, trust you, and name you.

Question 7

What's the free snapshot vs the $299 audit?

Accepted Answer

The snapshot on /audit is a quick score. Useful, thin. The $299 audit is the product: 10 pages, four platforms, why your competitors get named, a fix list, in 24 hours.

Question 8

Do you guarantee I'll be the first name they recommend?

Accepted Answer

No. Anyone who does is guessing. I measure, I explain the gap, I work the signals, I show the change.

Question 9

What happens after I buy the audit?

Accepted Answer

You get the report in 24 hours. Then you can book a 20-minute walkthrough. If the work makes sense, we talk Growth. If it doesn't, you keep the report.

Question 10

Can I just book a call first?

Accepted Answer

Not as the first step. The call is a 20-minute review of a report you already have. Start at https://1stmention.com/start.

Start the audit.
