## FAQ

Q: What is the ROI of investing in GEO?

A: AI search traffic converts 4.4x better than traditional organic traffic, according to our research. For B2B SaaS companies, the average cost of being invisible to AI search is $47,000 in missed organic pipeline per month. The ROI calculation depends on your industry, but most companies recover their GEO investment within 60-90 days of implementing the core optimizations.

Q: How do I build a GEO strategy for my business?

A: Start with an audit: run a free AI Citability Audit at geoxylia.com/audit to see your current score across all 9 dimensions. Prioritize the top 3 fixes based on impact and effort. Implement them systematically — starting with technical foundations (llms.txt, schema markup), then content structure (answer capsules, FAQ sections), then authority building (third-party citations, entity consistency). Re-audit after each phase to track progress.

Q: Should I optimize for all AI platforms or focus on one?

A: Optimize for all platforms simultaneously because only 11% of domains are cited by both ChatGPT and Perplexity. The unified foundation (entity clarity, passage structure, factual density, freshness) works across all platforms. Then add platform-specific optimization: compact answers for Perplexity, freshness for ChatGPT, structured data for Gemini, and methodology for Claude.

Q: How often should I re-audit my site?

A: At minimum, run a full audit quarterly. For competitive industries, monthly audits provide the best insight into score changes, competitor movements, and emerging gaps. Set up automated re-audits to track your score trend over time and catch regressions before they impact your visibility.

Q: What's the biggest mistake companies make with GEO?

A: The biggest mistake is treating GEO as an extension of SEO rather than a distinct discipline. Companies assume that ranking well on Google means they're visible in AI search — but our data shows only 6.82% overlap. The second-biggest mistake is optimizing content for ranking rather than extraction: AI engines select passages, not pages. Content must be structured for retrieval, not just for ranking.
