Growth & Performance

SEO & GEO

Strategy, creative and performance, built as one growth system. Scoped as a standalone project or run inside a Solando engagement.

Your buyers now research in two places: Google, and AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. We make your business easy to find in the first and easy to cite in the second.

What it is

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the work of making a business clear, credible and quotable for AI assistants, so that when a buyer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini for a recommendation in your category, your company is named and described correctly.

SEO is the foundation: helping Google find, understand and rank your pages. We treat them as one system.

Why SEO alone is no longer enough.

The shift

For years the goal was simple: rank on page one. Now a growing share of buyers ask an AI assistant instead, and get one short answer with a few names in it. AI tools build those answers from sources they trust: well-structured websites, directories, reviews, publications and consistent facts across the web.

A business can rank well on Google and still be invisible in AI answers, or be described wrongly. GEO closes that gap. It doesn’t replace SEO; it builds on it.

Our method

What we do.

01
Technical foundation. Crawlability, indexing, site speed, mobile experience, clean URLs and sitemaps, so Google and Bing can read every important page. Bing matters more than it used to: it powers parts of ChatGPT’s and Copilot’s web search.
02
Entity clarity. AI tools need to know exactly who you are. We make your name, services, locations and facts consistent across your website, Google Business Profile, LinkedIn and directories, and describe them in structured data (schema) that machines can read.
03
Content built to be cited. Pages that answer real buyer questions directly: a clear definition first, then method, proof and specifics. One topic per page, written for people and structured so search engines and AI can lift accurate answers from it.
04
Authority and mentions. AI assistants trust businesses that other credible sources talk about. We build your presence in the directories, publications and platforms your buyers and AI tools already rely on.
05
Measurement. Monthly reporting on rankings, impressions and clicks (Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools), plus regular checks of how AI assistants describe your business, and whether they mention you at all.

Timeline

SEO compounds; it isn’t instant. Technical fixes and structured data are usually picked up within weeks. Rankings for competitive searches typically take several months, and authority keeps building after that.

We’ll tell you at the start which searches are realistic in the first 90 days and which are long-term goals, and we report against both.

FAQ

Common questions.

SEO helps your pages rank in search results. GEO helps AI assistants understand, trust and mention your business in their answers. GEO depends on good SEO, so we do both together.

No, and nobody honestly can. Google and AI companies control their own results. What we can do is remove everything that holds you back, build the signals they reward, and report transparently on progress.

Technical improvements show within weeks. Meaningful ranking and visibility gains usually take 3 to 6 months, depending on your starting point and competition.

Yes. We build and optimise content in English and French.

How this fits

Where this sits in the growth system.

SEO & GEO can be scoped as a standalone project or delivered inside one of Solando’s three engagement formats. Most engagements use it as a component of the Build or as ongoing work inside the System.
