AI search work in Columbia with results you can count

GEO, short for generative engine optimization, is the work of getting AI assistants to name your company in their answers. We do it for businesses in Columbia, so that ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google mention you when someone asks about what you sell.

Home to 144,788 people on the 2024 Census Bureau estimates, Columbia is the second largest city in South Carolina. Across the country it sits in 190th place by population. There are 3 cities in South Carolina with their own page here.
When AI cannot find details about a local business, it recommends one from elsewhere. A few clear pages, a well-kept business profile and recent reviews change that answer. We work from Murcia, in Spain, usually 6 hours ahead of Columbia. Meetings are by video call and in English. Nearby, we also cover Charlotte, North Charleston and Concord.

Three examples of GEO in Columbia
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.
AI gets asked what a move costs and who can be trusted. Published guide rates and verified reviews carry the most weight in its answer.
Trips are now planned by asking AI. Whether it names your hotel depends on what guides, reviews and your own website say about you.

The first job is to listen. We put the questions your customer would ask to each assistant and note which companies come up and which pages it uses as sources.
We check what each assistant knows about your company and whether what it says is correct. Sometimes it does name you, but describes you badly or with old details.
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 make it clear who you are, what you do and where. It sounds minor, but it is the most common fault when an assistant describes a company badly.
We work to get your brand talked about in the media, comparison articles and directories that engines draw their recommendations from.
Month by month we track which answers you appear in, which links cite you and what visits and inquiries arrive from AI.
A page of Google results lists around ten sites. An AI answer has room for a handful of companies. That holds for a question about a real estate agency in Columbia and for one about a moving company in Columbia.
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 compare what AI says with your website and with the sources it cites. You get it in writing: what is missing and where to begin.
We prepare the pages AI needs in order to talk about you and work on your presence in the places it consults.
AI answers change often. We keep watch and react when your brand moves up or down.

Talk to the teamSEO works on your visibility in Google's list of results. GEO works on getting AI to name you in its answers. They share a foundation, which is a fast, clear website that other sites trust, so they complement each other and we usually work on both together.
Engines that search the web live, such as Perplexity or the AI results in Google, can reflect changes within weeks. Models that answer from what they learned in training take longer. In the audit we give you a realistic estimate for your case.
No, and be wary of anyone who promises it. The same question asked twice can give different answers, and no engine sells that spot. What we can do is show you, month by month, how many answers you appear in and which ones we have gained.
Yes. Nothing in this work requires a visit. We run the questions as a customer in Columbia 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.
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.
It happens more often than you would think. We look for where it got the wrong detail, correct it at the source and publish the right information in a way that leaves no room for doubt. Then we keep asking until the answer changes.
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.
