AI SEO · GEO · AEO in Cincinnati
AI SEO and GEO for Cincinnati small businesses, explained in plain English.
GEO (generative engine optimization), AEO (answer engine optimization) and AI SEO all mean the same thing for a local business: getting ChatGPT, Google and Siri to recommend you. I do it for Cincinnati, West Side and Northern Kentucky small businesses at flat prices, with no long contracts.
Why now: 45% of consumers now use AI tools to find local businesses, up from 6% a year earlier (BrightLocal, 2026).

Questions
Common questions
What is GEO (generative engine optimization)?
GEO means making your business easy for AI tools like ChatGPT, Google's AI and Copilot to find, trust and recommend. For a local business, it comes down to complete listings, matching information, good reviews, and a clear website.
What is AEO (answer engine optimization)?
AEO is another name for the same idea: helping your business become the answer when someone asks a question like "Who's the best plumber near me?" instead of scrolling through search results.
Is AI SEO different from regular SEO?
They overlap. Regular SEO helps you rank in Google's list of links. AI SEO focuses on the places AI tools pull from, like your Google profile, Bing, Apple Maps, review sites and directories, so they mention you by name.
Do you work outside Cincinnati?
Yes. I'm based on Cincinnati's West Side and work with businesses across Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and anywhere online.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend me?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. AI answers change and differ from person to person. I fix the things AI looks at, then re-check and show you what changed.
How much does GEO or AI SEO cost?
My prices are flat: a $297 tune-up, a $597 done-for-you fix (introductory price, regular $997), and optional $117 monthly care. Your AI Visibility Report and walkthrough are always free.
