Every GEO engagement follows the same product cycle.
Data-led from the first query pull to the last placement report — what goes into each phase, and what comes back out.
Research
Competitor and keyword research across AI and traditional search.
The cycle opens with measurement, not opinion. We capture your current answer share in AI responses, your competitors' citation footprint and real query demand across both LLMs and classic search, then freeze it as a baseline. Every phase after this is judged against that number.
Strategy
Translating research into a GEO blueprint and content plan.
The baseline becomes a ranked plan rather than a wish list. Topics, entities and publisher targets are ordered by the gap between where you are already cited and where the demand actually sits, so effort goes to the queries with measurable upside first.
Anchor
Building the schema and structured-data infrastructure.
Schema, structured data and entity markup are what make the plan machine-readable. This is where editorial decisions become data a model can parse, attribute and cite — and it ships instrumented, so we can see which entities start getting picked up and which need reworking.
Authority & amplification
Media placement across the publisher network.
Placements go out across the publisher network, then we re-run the exact measurements from phase one. What moved feeds straight back into the next research pass — which is what makes this a product cycle rather than a one-off project.
