The new search reality

The way people find businesses is changing. Fast.

  1. 01

    For 20+ years, Google was the only game in town. You ranked, you won — it was that simple.

  2. 02

    Now millions of people ask AI assistants for recommendations: “Find me a good dentist near me.” “What’s the best HVAC company in Dallas?” “Recommend a personal injury lawyer in Miami.”

  3. 03

    These AI platforms don’t list 10 blue links. They recommend 1–3 businesses by name. If you’re not one of them, your competitor is.

  4. 04

    The businesses that optimize for this shift now will dominate. The rest will wonder where their leads went.

FAQ

Common questions

Still unsure? Email us at info@centnine.com and we’ll answer straight.

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO is the process of optimizing your business to be recommended by AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. When someone asks these AI tools for a business recommendation, GEO helps ensure your business is one of the ones they suggest.

How is GEO different from regular SEO?

Traditional SEO focuses on ranking in Google search results. GEO focuses on being recommended by AI assistants. They use different signals — AI platforms care more about entity recognition, structured data, authoritative mentions, and content quality than traditional ranking factors like backlinks alone. You need both.

How long does it take to see results?

Local SEO improvements typically start showing within 60–90 days. GEO results vary because AI platforms update their knowledge at different intervals, but most businesses see noticeable improvements in AI visibility within 2–4 months. We’ll give you realistic timelines during your audit.

Do I need both SEO and GEO?

If you want to be visible everywhere your customers are searching — yes. Google still drives the majority of local search traffic, but AI search is growing rapidly. Starting GEO now gives you a first-mover advantage in your market before your competitors catch on.

What industries do you work with?

We specialize in local businesses across the US — dental practices, law firms, HVAC companies, real estate agencies, medical clinics, restaurants, auto repair shops, and more. If you serve customers in a specific geographic area, we can help.

What does it cost?

Most local businesses invest between $500–$1,500/month depending on market competitiveness, number of locations, and the scope of work. More competitive markets like New York or LA cost more than mid-size cities. We’ll give you a precise, itemized quote after your free audit — no hidden fees, no long-term contracts.
