Rank in Google.
Get cited by AI.
SEO gets you found in search. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) gets you named when customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini & Google AI Overviews. VIS Mountain does both — as one strategy.
What is GEO? Generative Engine Optimization structures your content, entities & authority so AI answer engines quote and recommend your business. It complements SEO: SEO wins the click, GEO wins the AI recommendation that increasingly happens before the click.

SEO & GEO FAQ
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO optimizes to rank in traditional search results; GEO optimizes so AI answer engines quote and recommend you. They share foundations (authority, structured content, entities) but GEO adds answer-first formatting, citation-worthy data and entity clarity. We run them together.
How much does SEO cost for a small business?
Engagements are scoped to your market, competitiveness and number of locations. We tie the plan to projected booked revenue and review it with you before you commit — no fixed promises we can’t stand behind.
How long until I see results?
Local & Map Pack movement often shows within a few months; competitive organic terms compound over time. GEO citations can appear sooner as engines re-crawl. Timelines vary by market — we set realistic expectations up front.
Do you guarantee #1 rankings?
No honest agency can guarantee a specific position. We commit to a rigorous, transparent process and reporting that moves rankings, traffic and booked calls.
Built to be found by people and by AI
SEO and generative engine optimization (GEO) share one goal: when someone searches for what you do, your business is the answer. The work behind that is specific and unglamorous. We start with a technical foundation — crawlability, page speed (Core Web Vitals), clean structure, and schema markup so engines read your services, locations and reviews as real entities.
What actually moves local rankings
For local businesses your Google Business Profile is the biggest lever you control — accurate categories, consistent NAP, real photos and a steady flow of genuine reviews. We pair that with location pages that answer the questions customers really ask, following the fundamentals in Google’s own SEO Starter Guide instead of tricks that get penalized.
Getting cited by AI answer engines (GEO)
More searches now end inside an AI answer — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity. These engines quote sources that are clearly written, structured, factual and recognizable. We write answer-first content, mark up entities with structured data, and build the authority signals that make your business one of the names the AI repeats. Our GEO guide breaks down the mechanics.
Honest expectations
SEO and GEO compound over weeks and months, not days — anyone promising instant #1 rankings is overselling. What we commit to is disciplined white-hat work, transparent reporting on the metrics tied to revenue, and a plan you own. Pair it with a fast website and a real review engine and the whole system gets stronger. Talk to us about where you stand today, or browse the Knowledge hub.
