What we measure when we do GEO in Wilmington
There are no rankings as there are in Google, but there are numbers: answers you appear in, links to your website and visits that arrive from AI.
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 Wilmington, we measure what AI says about your brand today and do the work needed for it to cite you.

WilmingtonUSAWorldwide
Wilmington has 125,284 residents according to the US Census Bureau estimates for 2024, which makes it the eighth largest city in North Carolina. That puts it 228th in the national ranking of cities. We have pages for 10 cities in North Carolina.
In a smaller city hardly anyone has worked on their presence in AI answers yet. The first company in each sector to do it often keeps the recommendation. Vértigo is based in Murcia, Spain, usually 6 hours ahead of Wilmington. We work with clients abroad by video call, in English. The same service is available in Fayetteville, Raleigh and Cary.

How people ask AI in Wilmington
AI gets asked about neighborhoods, prices and agencies people can trust. Good area guides, written with your own data, make you a source it can quote.
Parents and students compare tutors by asking AI. We publish results, timetables and prices clearly so it has something to recommend you with.
It is a purchase people talk through with AI: how many panels, how much they save, who installs them. Your real projects and your numbers are exactly what it needs to cite you.

Most of this work happens outside the chat window. An assistant builds its answer from web pages, reviews, listings and press, so we look at what it finds about you in each of those and fix what is missing or wrong.
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 find out what your customers really ask AI about what you sell, in your city, nationwide or abroad.
We create the pages that are missing: guide prices, comparisons, frequently asked questions. That is the material answers are made from.
Name, address, services and opening hours, the same everywhere. If every site says something different, AI hesitates and names someone else.
We work to get your brand talked about in the media, comparison articles and directories that engines draw their recommendations from.
A short monthly report: mentions, links, visits from AI and what we plan to do the following month.
AI does not show a list for you to choose from. It chooses for you. When someone asks about a real estate agency in Wilmington, 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.
We put your customer's questions to each assistant and save the answers.
We work out why it recommends others: what their websites have and where they are mentioned. Out comes a task list, in order.
We rewrite pages, put your brand data in order and seek mentions in reliable sources. Whatever carries most weight goes first.
Same questions, same method, every month. We show you the new answers next to the old ones.

Talk to the teamThere is no single fee. A brand that AI already talks about needs less work than one starting from nothing, and a crowded sector calls for more content and more mentions. After the audit we send you a fixed quote and you decide, with no obligation.
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.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and the AI results Google shows above its listings. Those four are our standard set. If another assistant matters in your sector, such as Microsoft Copilot, we add it to the tracking and report on it with the rest.
You rarely have to rebuild it. The usual work is rewriting some pages, adding the ones that are missing and marking up your data properly. We only propose a new website when the current one is hard for search engines and AI crawlers to read.
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.
They overlap almost completely. Different agencies and tools use GEO, AEO, LLM optimization or AI SEO for the same job, which is getting a company named in AI answers. If you are comparing proposals, look at what each one measures and delivers, since the label tells you little.
In the audit you see, with screenshots, whether AI names you, who it recommends in your place and where it gets its information. There is no obligation.
