GEO Expert

Ask a GEO expert to explain the buyer questions they would investigate, the work they would personally deliver and how they would check the result. Start with a sample of the research, content changes and measurement records you would receive.

To assess a consultant, ask for documented work, clear deliverables and an explanation of the evidence. You can sample answers about the consultant, but record the question, system, mode and date. Their own appearance or absence does not predict the outcome for your business.

This page gives you the vetting rubric I would use against myself, and then shows you my evidence so you can run it on me. Run it on everyone else you are considering too. The rubric is the point: it works whether or not you ever hire me.

A GEO tool can help monitor answers, mentions and source URLs. Check its actual question coverage, exports and supported systems, then decide who will interpret findings, change pages and verify implementation. An in-house team may choose a tool and retain that work internally.

A GEO agency may provide research, content, technical work and coordination across a larger team. Ask who will do your work, which deliverables are included and how changes will be verified. Compare the proposed scope and named delivery team using the same five checks.

A GEO expert working solo combines diagnosis and agreed implementation with one accountable operator. I lead strategy and personally execute across the revenue funnel. I agree the scope, time commitment and availability for each client or project before work starts.

Original data: the State of AI Search 2026 benchmark, 61 SaaS sites scored, methodology public and reproducible.

Cited by the engines: Assess a recorded set of relevant questions and retain the answers, dates and cited URLs. Report appearance, absence and uncertainty without treating a single response as a lasting result.

Infrastructure live on my own domain: readable page content, relevant access checks and consistent structured facts; optional supporting files and public identity references include Wikidata entity Q139976738, and the Citation Loop methodology running on this site, the same system I sell through GEO services.

Retrieval evidence:Search Console can show the queries and pages associated with Google Search impressions and clicks. Query wording alone does not identify an AI system or prove that it retrieved or cited a page. Review dated search data separately from saved AI answers, their source URLs and measured referral visits.

Measured like revenue: answer reviews and attribution work are scoped separately so that recorded visibility, identifiable visits and commercial outcomes can be examined on their own evidence. My operating history includes leading acquisition at Elementor during its growth from $200K to $20M ARR, paid acquisition at Riverside during 337% Net MRR growth, and demand-generation work at cnvrg.io. Intel acquired cnvrg.io. The published accounts are in the case studies.
