FAQ — GEO Audit Essen
(01)What exactly does a GEO Audit deliver for my Essen business?
You get a clear picture of how visible and how accurately your business is represented when customers ask leading language models and AI search for recommendations, plus a prioritized action plan that ranks fixes by impact and effort so your team knows precisely what to do first.
(02)How much does a GEO Audit cost?
Fixed price after scoping. Proposal within 48 hours. After a short intro call we scope your services and markets and confirm the price up front, so there are no surprises.
(03)How long does it take?
A typical GEO Audit runs four to eight weeks from kick-off to a delivered plan and first implemented fixes, depending on how many services and markets we measure across the Ruhr region.
(04)How is a GEO Audit different from a chatbot project or classic SEO?
A chatbot answers your visitors on your own site, while a GEO Audit improves how external AI answer engines describe and recommend you to people who have not visited yet. It complements classic SEO: SEO targets blue-link rankings, GEO targets the generated answer itself.
(05)What data or access do you need from us?
We mainly need read access to your public web content and a short briefing on your services, customers, and competitors. No customer data is required for the audit, and any access we do use is handled under a clear agreement.
(06)Is the work GDPR-compliant?
Yes. We work GDPR-compliant by default, can host within the EU, and offer on-premise options where needed — important for Essen's energy, healthcare, and large-corporate clients with strict data requirements.
(07)Can you work remotely with companies in Essen?
Yes. We work remotely with clients across Essen and the Ruhr region and come on-site for kick-off or key workshops when that helps, so location is never a blocker.
