GEO / AI Search Optimization

We make contractors and professional service businesses across Greater Los Angeles the answer AI gives — structured data, entity consistency and content built so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite you by name when someone asks who to call.

Search is changing from ten blue links to one recommended answer. This is the work that makes the answer you.

When someone asks AI who to call, be the name it says.

One answer, not ten links

AI assistants do not show a results page. They recommend one, maybe three, businesses. Being fourth is the same as being invisible. The work is getting into that short list.

Built on structure, not tricks

AI systems read the same signals Google does — schema, entity consistency, citations, real authority — but weight them differently. We build the structure that machines can verify, not content stuffed with prompts.

Verifiable everywhere

Your name, address, phone, services and hours have to agree across your site, your Google Business Profile, directories and social profiles. Inconsistency is how AI decides you might not be real.

Measured, not assumed

We track what the major assistants actually say when asked about your service in your area, monthly, and report where you appear and where a competitor does instead.

Why does it matter now?

What GEO actually does

A growing share of “who should I call” questions never reach a search results page. They are asked to ChatGPT, to Gemini, to Siri, or answered by the AI Overview at the top of Google before anyone scrolls. GEO is the work that makes those systems name your business — and it is early enough that most of your competitors have not started.

The answer, not a result

“Who is a good commercial refrigeration company near Burbank?” gets a name, not a list. GEO is about being that name.

Compounds on top of SEO

The signals that make AI cite you — structured data, entity clarity, real reviews — also lift your organic rankings. It is not a separate channel; it is the same foundation read by a new reader.

First-mover advantage is real

AI systems anchor on businesses they have already learned to trust. The earlier you are cited, the more that citation reinforces itself.

Protects the traffic you already have

AI Overviews now sit above the organic results for many local searches. If you are not in the overview, the ranking you worked for is under it.

How we get a business cited by AI

Most GEO advice is guesswork dressed up as strategy. We build it the way we build everything: on the structured data, entity architecture and local signals we have been layering across client sites for years — because those are exactly what large language models use to decide whether a business is real and relevant.

Entity architecture

One canonical description of your business — name, services, areas, credentials, people — expressed identically in schema, on the page, and across every profile. AI systems reward businesses that are unambiguous.

Schema that AI can follow

LocalBusiness, Service, Offer, FAQPage, Person — linked into a single connected graph rather than scattered fragments. We have built this for five-city service businesses and it is the foundation here.

Content written to be quoted

Direct answers to the questions people actually ask AI, in the format assistants prefer to cite: specific, factual, attributable. Not marketing copy the model learns to skip.

Reported against what AI actually says

Each month we ask the major assistants the questions your customers ask and record the answers. You see where you appear, where you do not, and what changed.

Mr. Fridge

A five-city entity Google understands

More than 400 connected schema nodes across two states, one consistent business identity per city, and a Google Business Profile treated as a data source rather than a listing. The structure that put the business in the map pack in five markets is the same structure AI systems read when deciding who to recommend.

A niche authority, made machine-readable

A specialist clinic with three locations and real credentials. We expressed each location, each exam type and each provider as a distinct, consistent entity in schema and on the page, so that a question like “where can a pilot get an FAA medical in Washington” resolves to one clear answer.

who we build for

GEO by industry

People ask AI different questions about different trades. “Who can fix a walk-in cooler tonight” and “which dentist takes my insurance” need different signals to answer. We build for the questions your customers actually ask.

Contractors & home services

Urgency and location dominate the question. Service-by-area entities, real-time availability signals and review velocity are what make AI name you for the 11pm emergency.

HVAC & refrigeration

Brand and equipment expertise are what get asked about. Structured data on the systems you service, and content that answers the technical question, is what AI cites.

Medical & dental

Credentials, insurance, procedures and provider identity have to be machine-verifiable. Person schema and precise service definitions carry the weight here.

Professional services

Expertise questions with long answers. Authoritative, attributable content and a clear entity graph are what turn a general question into your name.

our pricing

Pricing that starts where your foundation starts.

We’re a boutique agency by choice. Limited capacity means the businesses we work on get the time they need. GEO is scoped to your existing foundation — if the schema and entity work is already in place from our SEO or web design, it starts lower. Priced on scope, month to month.

Los Angeles

GEO across Greater Los Angeles

Ask an AI assistant for a plumber in Pasadena and a plumber in Long Beach and you will get different names. The systems understand Los Angeles as dozens of local markets, exactly as customers do. We build your entity so that it is the answer in the neighborhoods you actually serve — not lost in a county-wide blur.

Areas we build for: Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City, Downtown LA, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Sherman Oaks, Long Beach and Orange County.

Common questions about GEO

01 What is GEO?
Generative engine optimization: the work of making AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews recommend your business when someone asks a question you could answer. It runs on structured data, entity consistency and content written to be cited.
It is not a replacement for SEO. It is the same foundation, read by a new kind of search.
02 Do I need GEO if I already do SEO?
Increasingly, yes. AI Overviews now sit above the organic results for many local searches, and a growing share of questions are asked to assistants directly. Good SEO gets you most of the way; GEO closes the gap.
If your SEO is already built on proper schema and entity work, GEO is an extension rather than a rebuild.
03 How much does GEO cost?
It depends on your starting point. If your site already has connected schema and a consistent entity across the web, GEO is a modest monthly addition. If it does not, the foundation has to be built first and we scope that honestly.
Month to month, like everything we do.
04 How do you measure it?
We ask the major assistants the questions your customers ask, in your service area, every month, and record the answers. You see whether you are named, where you rank in the answer, and which competitor appears when you do not.
That baseline is the first thing we produce, before any work starts.
05 How long does it take to be cited?
Entity and schema changes are picked up within weeks. Being consistently recommended for competitive questions takes longer — typically three to six months — because it depends on authority that builds over time.
Early movers see faster results because the field is still thin.
06 Is this just stuffing pages with questions?
No. AI systems are good at recognising content written for them rather than for people, and they discount it. What they reward is a business that is unambiguous, verifiable and genuinely answers the question.
The work is structural, not a copywriting trick.
07 Which AI platforms do you target?
Google AI Overviews and Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity, because that is where the volume is. The signals overlap heavily, so work done for one lifts the others.
As new platforms appear we add them to the monthly check.
08 Does my Google Business Profile matter for GEO?
Enormously. It is one of the primary sources AI systems use to confirm a local business is real, open, and does what it claims. Categories, services, hours and reviews all feed the answer.
We treat it as a data source, not a listing.
09 Who owns the work?
You do. Schema lives on your site, content lives on your domain, profiles are yours. Nothing is hosted on our side.
If we part ways the foundation stays exactly where it is.
