Is Advantage+ shopping always the right structure?+
No. It performs strongly for broad-catalogue ecommerce with deep creative pools and clean signal. For considered purchases, narrow catalogues or lead gen, a manual structure with disciplined exclusions often wins. We test rather than assume.
How much creative do we need to supply?+
None, though it helps. We can run the full pipeline from brief to delivery, or plug into your studio. What we won't do is run the same three assets for a quarter and blame the auction.
Our ROAS dropped after iOS changes and never recovered. Is that fixable?+
Usually the reported number is the problem rather than the business result. A proper CAPI implementation plus a blended read typically shows the real position is better than the dashboard suggests — and shows exactly where the genuine losses are.
What does it cost to have you run our ads?+
Paid media management runs $6,500–$14,500 per month depending on spend and channel count; a one-off paid media audit is $4,500. We don't take a percentage of spend — that model rewards us for spending more of your money, not for making it work.
Do we keep ownership of our ad accounts?+
Always. Accounts, pixels, conversion data, creative files and audiences stay in your business manager under your ownership. We work inside your accounts as a partner, so if we part ways you keep every asset and every day of learning history.
How does the guarantee apply to paid media?+
Implement our 90-day plan and if the agreed leading indicators don't move within 3–6 months, we refund our fees in full. The guarantee covers our fee, not your ad spend — no agency can guarantee auction outcomes, and anyone who does is guessing.
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.
