Can I advertise inside ChatGPT today?+
Assistant ad surfaces are rolling out unevenly and availability varies by market and account type. The preparation work is available to everyone right now: entity clarity, structured product data, and answer-shaped content are what any assistant surface selects against, and they also drive organic AI citation in the meantime.
Is AppLovin worth testing for an ecommerce brand?+
It is worth a structured test if you have clean server-side conversion signal, a healthy product feed, and enough creative to feed an algorithm weekly. It is not worth testing if your conversion tracking is unreliable, because the bidder will optimise toward noise.
How much budget should a new-platform test get?+
Enough to exit the learning phase, held for long enough to read. In practice that usually means a fixed test budget over 6–8 weeks with a geo holdout, rather than a small trickle that never leaves learning.
How do you stop new platforms from just stealing credit?+
Holdouts and blended reads. We compare total contribution profit with and without the channel active in matched geographies rather than trusting platform-reported conversions, which overlap heavily with search and email.
Does GEO work help paid performance on AI surfaces?+
Yes. The same entity graph, schema, and answer-shaped content that get you cited organically also make you legible to the systems deciding which advertiser fits a given intent. The two programs share most of their groundwork.
How do we make sure our company shows up on AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini?+
Three layers, in order. First, entity clarity: one canonical Organization with @id anchors, sameAs links to authoritative databases, and knowsAbout coverage of your real expertise. Second, extractable content: atomic answer blocks, comparison tables, transparent pricing and specs, and FAQ blocks on every commercial page. Third, corroboration: mentions in the roundups, directories, review platforms, and trade publications those engines retrieve. Measure it by probing a fixed set of buying questions monthly and tracking citation frequency per engine.
What actually makes a page get cited by AI instead of just ranked?+
Citability. AI engines lift passages that answer one question completely in 40–80 words, in plain language, with a concrete number, definition, or list. Pages that bury the answer under narrative rarely get quoted. We rewrite key pages so every important question has a self-contained answer block, wrapped in schema that labels what it is.
Is SEO still worth investing in now that AI answers so many queries?+
Yes, because AI answers are built from indexed pages. Every major assistant retrieves from a crawled index, so pages that aren't crawlable, renderable, or structured never enter the candidate pool. Classic SEO is now the entry requirement for AI visibility, and the two programs share almost all of the same work.
How quickly can we expect results from an Arise GEO engagement?+
Technical recovery and on-page work typically show movement in 30–60 days. AI citation lift on long-tail and comparison queries usually lands in 30–90 days. Category-level authority and head-term rankings are a 6–12 month curve. Every engagement ships a sequenced 90-day plan so early wins fund the long work.
What do we get, and what does it cost?+
You get a forensic audit, a prioritized 90-day execution plan with effort and impact scoring, and optional done-for-you implementation by our engineers and editors. Pricing is scoped per engagement based on catalog size, locale count, and whether you want execution included. Implement our 90-day plan and if you don't see results in 3–6 months, we refund you in full.
