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

SEO focuses on ranking your website in Google and Bing. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) focuses on making your brand visible and recommended inside AI-generated answers from platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity.

Do I need to stop Google SEO completely?

Not overnight, but your investment allocation should shift. Traditional Google SEO is delivering diminishing returns as AI Overviews absorb queries. We typically help clients transition over 180 days.

How long does it take to see results from GEO?

Our 180-day programme is designed to produce measurable improvements in AI brand visibility within 60–90 days for most clients. Quick-win technical changes can show results faster.

Does GEO work for small local Australian businesses?

Absolutely — local businesses often see the fastest results. People are already asking AI 'best plumber near me' or 'top café in Surry Hills.' GEO for local businesses focuses on local review signals, geo-specific content, and presence in local directories.
