FAQ ## Questions Pittsburgh owners ask ### What is AI search optimization in Pittsburgh? It is the work of getting your business named when people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude or Google AI Overviews for a recommendation. For Pittsburgh firms, it means showing up in local, high-intent answers. ### What is generative engine optimization? Generative engine optimization, or GEO, is how you earn mentions and citations in AI-written answers. It overlaps with SEO but focuses on being quoted by assistants, not only ranking in a list of links. ### How is AI SEO different from regular SEO? Regular SEO aims for a ranked link. AI SEO aims to be named inside the answer itself. Our data shows 77% of named businesses appeared in only one assistant, so each one needs attention. ### What do AI SEO services in Pittsburgh include? Prompt research, technical fixes, answer-first content, Reddit and community research, and citation tracking. We call this The Citation Stack. You approve every page, and it takes about an hour a week. ### How long until I see results? We guarantee a minimum 30% increase in total AI citations within 90 days, measured against your own baseline. If we miss it, we keep working at no charge until we hit it. ### Do I have to sign a long contract? No. The engagement is a 90-day minimum, then month to month. You approve every page, so nothing goes live without your say. ### What happens on the free AI audit? Before the call, we run the questions your buyers ask through ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini. Then we walk you through who gets named today and what it would take to be one of them.
