What is Generative Engine Optimization?+
GEO is the work of making your business readable, credible, and citable to generative engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. It covers your entity model, your rendering, your structured data, and your content.
Is CCG a GEO agency or a full service agency?+
Full service, with GEO as the entry point. The audit tells you what to fix and in what order, and the same team builds the content, video, social, web, and campaigns that close those gaps.
How is GEO different from SEO?+
SEO earns a ranking on a results page and GEO earns a citation inside an answer. The measurement differs too. You track where your brand is named and quoted, not where you sit in a list of links.
How is it measured?+
Your GEO Score rates six dimensions on a 100 point scale, with tiers from Critical below 40 to Strong at 80 and above. You get a baseline before work starts, then a re-test at Day 90.
Do I have to start with the audit?+
Yes, and it is the critical part of the engagement. Building content or campaigns before the audit means guessing at the problem, and guessing is what made the last agency expensive. Learn more with the AI Enhanced Marketing Research Guide.
Do you produce the work or only plan it?+
Both, and the same team does each. Long form content, service pages, brand film, founder video, short form social, email sequences, and paid campaigns are produced in house, with vetted partners behind high volume work. Paid budget goes only behind content that has already earned attention organically.
How long does it take?+
The first Loop runs 90 days, with infrastructure first, content second, and distribution third. Technical and entity dimensions move first because they are fixed first. Citation movement follows, because engines have to re-crawl your site before quoting it.
What happens after the first 90 days?+
The Loop restarts from a higher baseline. Your Day 90 score becomes the new starting point, and the next cycle targets the dimensions still costing you citations.
A tool already tracks this for 25 dollars a month, so why hire an agency?+
A dashboard tells you that you are invisible. It does not make you visible. Tracking tools report prompt coverage and share of voice. Someone still has to rebuild the entity model, fix the rendering, and produce the work.
Do you work with businesses outside California?+
Yes. The work runs remotely and the infrastructure it touches is the same in every market. CCG works from the Inland Empire of Southern California and takes clients in other regions.
Does my buyer really check AI before contacting me?+
94 percent of business buyers use AI assistants during their buying process. AI referred visitors convert at about 4.4 times the rate of standard organic search. Sources: 6sense, 2025 Buyer Experience Report; Semrush, June 2025.
