Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with EnovaCreations

What is the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) ranks your website in traditional Google results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) makes your content the direct answer in featured snippets, voice search, and AI answer boxes. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) ensures ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews cite your brand when they generate responses. At EnovaCreations, we do all three as an integrated strategy because each targets a different way customers discover businesses in 2026.

Do I still need SEO if AI search is taking over?

Yes. SEO is the foundation that makes AEO and GEO possible — without a technically healthy, crawlable, authority-signaled website, AI engines will not cite you. Gartner projects that 50% of conventional search traffic will migrate to generative engines by 2028, but those same AI systems rely on well-indexed content from strong SEO sites to generate answers. Skip SEO and you create a blind spot across all three layers.

How do I get my business cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity?

To get cited by generative engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, you need: (1) a clear brand entity defined through Organization schema and consistent NAP data, (2) authoritative, expert-written content published on your own domain, (3) mentions across reputable third-party websites, (4) an llms.txt file indexing your most authoritative pages, and (5) allowing AI crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended) in your robots.txt. This is the core of our GEO service.

What is llms.txt and do I need one?

llms.txt is a new file — analogous to sitemap.xml but built for large language models — that gives AI systems a curated index of your site's most important pages with short descriptions. It helps ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other generative engines understand your site's authority areas and prioritize your content when generating answers. We deploy llms.txt as part of our Professional Authority and Market Dominator packages.

How long does it take to see results from Google Business Profile optimization?

Most clients see improved visibility within 2–4 weeks. Rankings depend on competition, current profile health, and review velocity. We provide weekly progress reports so you can track improvements in real-time.

Do I need a website to work with you?

Not necessarily. If you only need GBP optimization or photography/video, we can work with your existing online presence. However, a conversion-focused website significantly increases booking rates — we recommend it for maximum ROI.

What makes your packages different from other agencies?

We offer fixed-scope, productized services with clear deliverables and fast timelines (2–4 weeks). No hourly billing, no scope creep, no surprise fees. Every package also includes integrated SEO + AEO groundwork so your site is ready for both Google and AI-driven search from day one.

Can I customize a package or mix services?

Absolutely. Our packages are starting points. We can customize scope, add services, or build a hybrid package based on your specific needs and budget. Contact us for a custom quote.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes. We offer monthly retainers for GBP management, content updates, review monitoring, SEO/AEO tune-ups, GEO citation tracking, and performance optimization. One-time projects also include 30 days of post-launch support.

What industries do you specialize in?

We focus on small businesses across North America in hospitality (cafes, restaurants), wellness (salons, fitness studios), professional services (accounting, legal, medical), and retail. These verticals benefit most from local SEO, AEO, and visual content.

How do you measure success?

We track metrics that matter: phone calls, form submissions, direction requests, booking clicks, website conversions — plus AI visibility KPIs like citation count and mention frequency across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. We provide monthly reports with clear ROI data, not vanity metrics.

What if I'm not happy with the results?

We offer a satisfaction guarantee. If you're not happy with deliverables within the first 14 days, we'll revise until you are — or provide a full refund. Your success is our success.

Do you require long-term contracts?

No. Our project-based packages have no long-term commitment. Monthly retainers are month-to-month with 30-day notice to cancel. We earn your business every month.
