About GEO
- What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
- GEO is the practice of optimizing your website so AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google Gemini can retrieve, understand, and cite your business in their AI-generated responses — rather than just Google blue-link rankings.
- How is GEO different from SEO?
- SEO targets Google's ranking algorithm. GEO targets AI citation systems — fundamentally different mechanisms. GEO requires additional signals: AI crawler access, entity clarity, llms.txt, and structured data that standard SEO tools don't address.
- What AI platforms does GEO target?
- ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity AI, Claude (Anthropic), Google AI Overviews (Gemini), Microsoft Copilot (Bing), and Apple Intelligence.
- What is Share of AI Voice?
- Share of AI Voice (SAV) is a GEO metric measuring what percentage of relevant AI-generated responses mention your brand vs. competitors — the AI equivalent of Share of Voice in traditional marketing.
- What is a good GEO score?
- 65+ is a passing score with meaningful AI visibility. 80+ indicates strong AI search presence. Below 50 means significant discoverability gaps.

- What is n8n?
- n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform — similar to Zapier but more powerful and self-hostable. It connects 400+ apps and APIs with a visual drag-and-drop editor. Ronnel builds custom n8n workflows for APAC businesses.

Pricing & Results
- Is the AI Visibility Audit really free?
- Yes, completely free. No credit card, no commitment. I do this because it clearly demonstrates the GEO gaps — and once you see your score, the path forward is obvious.
- What results can I expect from GEO optimization?
- Based on typical client patterns: GEO Technical score improves from near-zero to 12+/15 within 2-4 weeks of technical implementation. AI citations begin appearing within 3-6 months. Combined SEO+GEO audit scores typically jump 20-35 points within 90 days of a full optimization sprint.
