When someone asks ChatGPT —
get your business in the answer
Traditional SEO only covers Google. We get Vancouver businesses showing up when people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI for recommendations — your name in the answer, not just a link in a list.
What are GEO and AEO?
GEO (getting AI search engines to recommend you) and AEO (getting AI to use your business as a cited source) are strategies for platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI — very different from traditional Google SEO. Traditional SEO puts you in a ranked list of links. GEO/AEO gets AI to mention your name directly in its answer. When someone asks ChatGPT 'best Vancouver plumber' or Perplexity 'AI automation agencies in BC,' NexAgent works to get your business in that answer. This takes content structure, brand authority, and a track record of being cited in multiple credible places — we help you build all of it.

GEO/AEO Services Questions
How is GEO/AEO different from traditional SEO? Do I need both?
Traditional SEO optimizes for Google's algorithm and gets you to page 1 of Google. GEO/AEO optimizes for AI systems like ChatGPT and Perplexity and gets you cited in their answers. You need both. Google traffic is still valuable, but AI engines are becoming the primary discovery path for 30-40% of queries now (2024-2025). A Vancouver business optimized for GEO/AEO can answer 'best AI automation agencies Canada' and appear directly in ChatGPT's answer—this is worth thousands in qualified leads.
What does a GEO/AEO audit and strategy cost for my Vancouver business?
GEO/AEO audit: $1,500-$3,000 (comprehensive analysis of your current AI visibility, entity mapping, content gaps). Strategy implementation: $3K-$8K to set up structured data, optimize content, and build entity recognition. Monthly optimization: $500-$1,500. Most Vancouver businesses see measurable AI engine mentions within 60 days. ROI payback is typically 2-4 months through qualified leads and reduced paid ad spend.
