## FAQ
- Q: What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
  A: GEO is the work of making AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok — find, understand, trust and cite your company when someone asks a question you should be the answer to. It overlaps with SEO but is judged differently: an AI answer quotes facts and names suppliers, it does not just rank links.
- Q: Can you guarantee my company will be ranked #1 by ChatGPT?
  A: No, and nobody honestly can. AI answers change with wording, model version and time; our own published data shows the same factory ranked first for one prompt and absent for a close variant. What we commit to is a measured increase in how often you are named for a fixed set of buyer prompts, with the raw answers as proof.
- Q: Which AI engines do you cover?
  A: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini and AI Overviews, and Claude are tested monthly through their official APIs with web search enabled. Microsoft Copilot and Grok are checked manually each quarter because they do not offer the same API access. For companies selling into China we add Doubao, DeepSeek, Tencent Yuanbao, Kimi, ERNIE Bot and Qwen.
- Q: Do you only work with Chinese manufacturers?
  A: No. We work with beauty and cosmetics supply-chain companies anywhere that sell to international brands. We are based in Guangzhou, the largest cosmetics manufacturing cluster in China, so many of our clients are Chinese exporters — and we work in both English and Chinese.
- Q: How is this different from SEO?
  A: SEO earns a ranked link; GEO earns a mention inside the answer. The overlap is real — Google's AI features and ChatGPT's web answers both depend on pages being indexed — but GEO puts far more weight on unambiguous company facts, verifiable evidence and pages that answer a buyer's question directly. See our GEO vs SEO guide.
- Q: How long until results show?
  A: Technical and entity fixes are usually picked up within days to a few weeks. A measurable change in how often you are named typically takes two to six months, depending on how contested your category is. We report monthly from the first baseline.
