Do you write comparison pages against our competitors?+
Yes, and we write them honestly. Pages that overclaim get ignored by buyers and rejected by AI engines. Accurate comparisons that concede real weaknesses convert better and get cited more.
How do you attribute SEO to pipeline?+
We map organic and AI referral sessions to demo requests, trials, and closed-won using your CRM. Reporting is in opportunities and pipeline value, not sessions.
Is programmatic SEO still safe after the helpful content updates?+
Yes, when each page carries unique data or utility. Templated pages that only swap a variable are the ones that get filtered. We build the gating that keeps quality above the threshold.
How long until SaaS SEO produces pipeline?+
Bottom-funnel pages can produce demo requests within 30–90 days. Category-level authority takes 6–12 months. We sequence BOFU first for that reason.
Do you work with pre-PMF startups?+
Sometimes. Before product-market fit, SEO usually isn't the right first channel. We'll tell you if we think it isn't.
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.
