Is GEO the same as SEO?
No. Classic SEO optimizes for blue links. GEO (generative engine optimization) focuses on being usable as a source inside generative answers in engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI. They can coexist; the work and the language are different.
Do you guarantee we’ll appear in ChatGPT or Perplexity?
No. No honest vendor can guarantee a slot in generative answers. We improve the inputs engines tend to cite—entities, FAQ, citable facts—and report what we observe. If a guaranteed placement is a hard requirement, we are not the right vendor.
Who is a fit for Alpha GEO?
First-wave clients: Malaysian companies only. Typical fit: B2B brands, SaaS, regional retail chains, and exporters with an existing site and a clear commercial buying journey. Not a fit: non-Malaysian entities in the first wave; anyone requiring a guaranteed ChatGPT placement; no-site leads with no budget signal; FX / crypto brokerage acquisition packs; pure consumer apps with fuzzy compliance.
Should we start with Audit, Launch, or Retain?
Have a site but no GEO diagnosis yet → start with Audit. Already agree on the gaps and want shippable pages → Launch (can include Audit). Already GEO-ready and want ongoing content + monitoring → Retain. Skip steps only with written agreement.
What currencies do you quote?
Package bands are shown in USD as reference only (Audit about $1,500–$3,000; Launch about $5,000–$15,000; Retain about $2,000–$5,000 per month). First-wave clients are Malaysian companies; invoices are issued in MYR. Tax and currency are locked in the SOW. No USD invoices in the first wave.
