Can we not just use a rank tracker?+
Rank trackers answer a different question. Assistant answers are generated, vary by phrasing and session, and cite sources rather than rank them. Measuring them needs repeated probing under controlled conditions, which is what this is.
How much does answer variance affect the numbers?+
Enough that single runs are unreliable, which is why every question is run multiple times per cycle and reported as a rate rather than a yes or no.
Do you offer this without a full engagement?+
Yes. Reporting can run standalone as a monthly retainer if your team handles implementation, and it is included in full engagements.
Can we see our own data between reports?+
Yes, everything lives in a shared workspace you can open any time. The monthly report is the interpretation, not the only access.
What if the numbers do not move?+
Then the plan changes, and that conversation happens in the report rather than six months later. Implement our 90-day plan and if you don't see movement in 3–6 months, we refund our fees in full.
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.
