For most Durham businesses, the answer is no. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) changes that. We optimize your online presence so AI recommends you specifically when Durham customers ask.

FAQ

Durham Generative Engine Optimization FAQs

Is GEO different from regular SEO for Durham?+
Yes. SEO gets you in Google's search results. GEO gets you recommended by AI assistants. They use different signals, but they complement each other. Most clients do both.
Can you guarantee I'll be recommended by ChatGPT?+
No ethical agency can guarantee that. What we can do is build every signal AI models use when deciding which Durham businesses to recommend. Our process is based on how these systems actually work.
How long until I see results?+
Initial visibility improvements typically happen within 90 days. Significant citation frequency growth usually shows by month 6. GEO compounds over time — the earlier you start, the bigger the lead over competitors.
What does GEO cost?+
Standalone GEO starts at $599/month. Bundle with SEO and save 20%. Full pricing at digitalwiz.io/geo.
