Common questions

Things Chicago business owners
ask me every week

Honest answers. No sales spin.

What is GEO and why should my Chicago business care about it?
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of making your business visible in AI-generated answers — from ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Copilot, and Perplexity. When someone asks an AI "who is the best HVAC company in Naperville?" your business either comes up or it doesn't. Right now, fewer than 1% of Chicago small businesses have optimized for this. That means the window to get in early is open — but it's closing fast.
What is an llm.txt file and why does my business need one?
An llm.txt file is a plain-text file on your website that introduces your business directly to AI crawlers. It tells ChatGPT, Copilot, and Perplexity who you are, what you do, where you serve, and what makes you the right recommendation. Think of it as your AI business card. It's a new standard — and right now almost no Chicago small business has one. I create and deploy this as part of every engagement.
How quickly will I see results from AI optimization?
Faster than traditional SEO. AI citation improvements can show up in as little as 7–14 days after implementation — especially on Bing Copilot, which actively crawls updated content. I track your progress weekly and show you before-and-after screenshots of AI-generated answers mentioning your business. Full Google AI Overview visibility typically takes 4–8 weeks.
Do I need a blog or lots of content to get results?
No. A well-structured, GEO-optimized single page can outperform a 50-post blog if the content is structured correctly for AI extraction. The key is how your content is written — answer-first paragraphs, clear FAQ sections, and proper schema markup — not how much you have. I work with lean, focused websites.
How much does this cost?
I offer three tiers: a GEO Audit ($497–$997 one-time), full AI chatbot + GEO implementation ($1,500–$2,500 one-time), and an ongoing monthly retainer ($500/month) for continuous optimization and citation tracking. These are solo-consultant rates — significantly more accessible than Chicago agencies starting at $5,000+.
