GEO for businesses in Des Moines: how we count progress
We ask the same questions every month and write down, for each answer, if your company is in it, how high up and which source is cited.
More than 200 clients trust us.
GEO, also called AI SEO, is how a company gets named when people take their questions to ChatGPT or Gemini instead of Google. For businesses in Des Moines, we measure what AI says about your brand today and do the work needed for it to cite you.

Des MoinesUSAWorldwide
Des Moines has 213,096 residents according to the US Census Bureau estimates for 2024, which makes it the largest city in Iowa. It is the 110th largest city in the United States. In Iowa we cover 3 cities.
AI knows the biggest cities well and the rest rather less. That is why, in a mid-sized city, giving it clear information about your business and your area pays off so much. Our office is in Murcia, Spain, about 7,500 km (4,700 miles) away and usually 7 hours ahead of you. We meet by video call. If your business is in Cedar Rapids, Omaha or Davenport, there is a page like this one for each.

What we do, depending on your sector
Many people describe their case to an AI assistant before they call a firm. If your site explains each practice area clearly, you are easier to cite when the question is about Des Moines.
AI answers tax questions every day and needs sources it can rely on. A firm that explains each step well can be one of the sources it cites.
Owners ask AI about symptoms and about clinics that are open. With hours, services and reviews kept up to date, your clinic has a better chance of appearing in the answer in Des Moines.

We measure before we change anything. The starting picture shows the answers you appear in and, for the ones that leave you out, who is there in your place.
Dozens of real questions from your sector, put to each engine. The result is a table showing where you appear and, where you do not, which competitors are there instead.
We collect the doubts your customer settles before buying: prices, comparisons, who to go to. Those are the questions you want to appear in.
Fewer adjectives, more facts. We reorganise your website so that each page answers one specific question and answers it well.
We tidy up what AI knows about you: structured data, business profile and consistent listings, so it does not confuse you with anyone else.
AI recommends whoever it sees recommended. We aim to get you into the articles, lists and publications it uses as references in your sector.
We measure the visits that come from ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini and what those visitors do on your website, to find out whether the mentions bring customers.
AI does not show a list for you to choose from. It chooses for you. When someone asks about an employment lawyer in Des Moines, they get a few names, and the first one has the advantage.
Illustrative simulation. AI answers change every time a question is asked and nobody can guarantee a specific recommendation.
You tell us by video call what you sell and to whom, and we prepare the questions we are going to track.
We work out why it recommends others: what their websites have and where they are mentioned. Out comes a task list, in order.
Content, structured data and media mentions, month by month, with tasks you know about in advance.
Every month we put the same questions to each engine and compare. What works gets more time and what does not gets changed.

Talk to the teamIt depends on your starting point and on how much competition your sector has. We do the visibility audit first, which tells us how much work there is, and then send you a quote based on it. It does not commit you to anything.
Expect weeks for some answers and months for others. When an assistant looks things up online, a new page or a fresh mention can show quickly. When it relies on its training, nothing moves until the model is updated, and only the company that makes it knows when that will be.
It does. For local questions, assistants draw heavily on map listings, review sites and neighborhood press, all things a business in Des Moines can improve. A national name is not required. Accurate details, recent reviews and pages that say plainly what you do and where are what count.
Yes. Nothing in this work requires a visit. We run the questions as a customer in Des Moines would ask them, meet you by video call in English and send a monthly report. Between reports you can write to the team whenever you need to.
For the most part, yes. When AI links to your website and someone clicks, the source is recorded. What leaves no trace is the person who reads the answer and looks you up by name afterwards, which is why we also watch searches for your brand.
It is not compulsory, but it shows. If your website does not appear in search engines, assistants that read the web live have a hard time finding you. A site with sound SEO gives GEO something to build on, and we handle both in the same team.
The audit takes your sector, a list of questions a customer would ask and four AI engines. You get back a plain document showing where you appear today and what to do first. We usually reply within 24 hours.
