GEO and SEO Questions, Answered

What we do, what it costs, and how we measure it.

The service itself

What does RAGSEO actually do?

We are an SEO, GEO and website development agency. GEO, generative engine optimization, is the work of getting your brand cited in AI answers. Our method pairs an enterprise GPT system with a RAG knowledge base built from your own products, cases and materials. Drafts are reviewed by professional editors to reduce AI traces. Then we handle on-page and off-page optimization, and report results from Google Search Console and Google Analytics.

Can you really influence what ChatGPT says about my brand?

Partly, and we are specific about the line. ChatGPT answers either from live web search, which GEO can influence, or from knowledge stored in the model without web access, which cannot currently be optimized. Optimizing for ChatGPT tends to help visibility in Gemini and Grok too, because they reference public web content, but each model has its own mechanism. We evaluate only against ChatGPT search results.

What does a GEO engagement include?

Six parts: GEO project planning that defines the query scope, goals and deliverables; GEO knowledge base collation; GEO exclusive content creation with EEAT-compliant articles written for your target queries; content and technical optimization covering Schema markup, loading speed and mobile adaptability; multi-platform distribution across 20+ authoritative global platforms plus your own site; and result tracking and verification.

How is GEO different from the SEO work you already do?

SEO targets ranked links on a search results page. GEO targets citations inside generated answers. The inputs overlap, since both depend on crawlable, well-structured, genuinely useful content, but the deliverables differ. A GEO program adds a dedicated knowledge base, EEAT-compliant articles written for specific queries, distribution across 20+ authoritative platforms, and citation monitoring in ChatGPT search mode. Our GEO team alone is 100+ technical specialists, GEO experts and writers.

Process and timeline

What does the GEO process look like step by step?

We start with GEO project planning to define the query scope, goals and deliverables. Then we collate the GEO knowledge base from your materials, write EEAT-compliant articles for the target queries, and run content and technical optimization including Schema markup, loading speed and mobile adaptability. Content is distributed across 20+ authoritative platforms and your website. Finally we track and verify citations, with monitoring continuing after the target is reached.

How long before we see anything?

For SEO, significant improvements in rankings and organic traffic can usually be observed within 3 to 6 months. GEO runs against a 3-month target; if that target is not met, a proportional refund applies. We monitor citations regularly with screenshots in ChatGPT search mode, not logged in, so you can see the same evidence we do. Published content may also enter future models' training data over time.

Do you need access to our internal materials?

Yes, and that is the point. The RAG knowledge base is built from your own products, cases and materials, which is what keeps the output specific to your business instead of generic. The more real detail you give us, the stronger the drafts. Every piece is reviewed by professional editors, and nothing is published before your approval.

Can you also build or fix our website?

Yes. We build marketing-driven WordPress sites launched within 35 working days, with a homepage mockup first, then a full responsive build to W3C standards and SEO best practices. You get multi-device testing, SSL installation, domain setup, backend training and secure credential handover. The code is open source and independent, fully owned by you, and manageable without us after the partnership ends.

Is there a contract lock-in?

No lock-in. Each plan carries a first-page ranking guarantee for a set number of keywords: Standard 50, Enterprise 80, Flagship 120 and Premium 150. Performance is tracked in Google Search Console and Google Analytics, and you get monthly reports with strategy adjustment. Multilingual websites are supported in English, Japanese, Russian and other common languages, and Bing SEO is available as an add-on at $750 per year. Prices are as of September 2026.

Measurement and reporting

How do you prove GEO results?

Citations are monitored regularly with screenshots in ChatGPT search mode, not logged in. That is the verification standard we work to, and monitoring continues after the target is reached. If the 3-month target is not met, a proportional refund applies. We do not promise rankings or citations beyond what each plan states. For SEO, results come from Google Search Console and Google Analytics data, reported monthly.

What does a monthly report contain?

Monthly SEO reports carry Google Search Console data plus strategy adjustment, so you see what moved and what we are changing next. GEO reporting shows citation monitoring evidence captured in ChatGPT search mode. Because the same data sources are open to you, you can check our numbers against your own accounts rather than taking a summary on trust.

Do you have proof this works for B2B exporters?

A RAGSEO client program (client anonymized), a lifting equipment manufacturer, reached 35% of all inquiries from AI-driven inquiries, with 62% of those coming from Europe and North America at a 28% higher conversion rate than traditional channels, and the brand consistently ranked in the top 3 AI-generated answers for core queries. Before the project the brand appeared in less than 1% of AI-generated results.

What about a company with a longer track record of results?

A separate RAGSEO client program (client anonymized), a jewelry manufacturer and exporter, ran 15 months from 2023-07-01 to 2024-09-30. AI-driven inquiries reached 268, 42% of total inquiries, with 70% from Europe, America and the Middle East, and inquiry-to-order conversion 35% higher than traditional channels. The brand was consistently in the top 5 AI answers for core queries. We quote each case's figures as a complete group and never mix them.
