What exactly do we receive?+
A ranked backlog with effort and impact scores, a rendered-DOM and index parity report, a validated schema map per template, an entity graph diagram, a five-engine citation baseline with competitor share, and a sequenced 90-day plan. Everything is in a shared workspace, not a static PDF.
How long does it take?+
Fourteen days is typical. Large multi-locale catalogues run to three weeks. We share findings as they land rather than holding everything to the end.
Can you implement the fixes?+
Yes, either as a done-for-you engagement or alongside your in-house team. Roughly half of audit clients take implementation, half run it internally with our tickets.
Is this worth it if our classic SEO is already strong?+
Often more so. Strong classic SEO means the foundations are there and the gap is usually entity resolution and extractability, which is faster and cheaper to close than a technical rebuild.
What if the audit finds nothing worth fixing?+
It has not happened yet, but the guarantee covers you regardless. 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.
