SEO, AEO & GEO Services in Atlanta: Get Found by Google and Cited by AI

iORSO delivers SEO, AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) for Atlanta metro businesses. SEO gets your pages ranking on Google. AEO and GEO get your business cited when ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews answer your customers’ questions. We do both because 58 to 60 percent of Google searches now end without a click. Ranking alone is not enough anymore. Every page we touch is quality-scored 0 to 100 through our proprietary Bridge platform, and we do not publish anything below A-grade standards. Based in Cumming, GA, serving 45 cities across the Atlanta metro. Learn more about iORSO. Retainers from $2,500/month.

What SEO, AEO, and GEO Actually Mean for Your Business

Three disciplines. One engagement. Here is what each does and why you need all three.

AEO: Get Cited by AI Answer Engines

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the discipline that gets your business cited when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI a question. When a prospect asks “what is the best SEO agency in Alpharetta,” AI does not show a list of links. It names 2 to 3 businesses with a sentence about each one. Either your business is named or it is not. There is no page 2.

AEO requires different content structures than traditional SEO. AI engines extract from the first 30 percent of your page (44 percent of ChatGPT citations come from there). They favor pages with FAQ sections (which nearly double citation rates), self-contained sections of 120 to 180 words, specific and definite language, and freshness (content updated within 3 months gets nearly twice the citations). For a deeper explanation, read our guide on what AEO is and how to get cited by ChatGPT

What We Did to Our Own Site (The Proof)

Before we sold the first SEO/AEO engagement, we ran the full process on iorso.com. Here is what the Bridge found and what happened after we fixed it.

Before
(February 2026)

157 pages scored. Average quality: 76/100. Only 4 percent of pages were AEO-ready. 91 broken links across the site. 114 blog posts with zero inbound internal links (100 percent orphaned). Zero schema markup on any page. 174 images audited with 93 oversized (116MB total). 107,000 monthly impressions but only 142 clicks (0.13 percent CTR). Zero conversion tracking.

After
(March 2026)

Site-wide quality score: 90/100. 70 percent of pages at A-grade. All 91 broken links repaired. All 114 blog posts connected to topic clusters. Schema deployed on 30+ pages (LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, Article, BreadcrumbList). Images compressed from 116MB to 7MB. 25 GEO pages rewritten with unique local content. 41 blog posts published across 4 topic clusters. Conversion tracking live on all forms, phone links, and CTAs.
Total execution time for the Bridge-automated fixes: under 8 hours. Manual estimate for the same work: 80+ hours.
This is the same process we run on every client site. See our full results.

How Our SEO, AEO & GEO Process Works

Five phases. Each builds on the last. Nothing is guesswork.

What You Get in a Retainer

Full site audit with page-by-page scoring and letter grades. Technical SEO fixes (schema, speed, crawl errors, canonicals, internal links). Content optimization or creation with AEO/GEO structure. Google Business Profile management (posts, Q and A, review response, category strategy). Monthly quality re-scoring and performance reporting. AI citation testing across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI. Content strategy with topic cluster planning and blog production. Dedicated strategist (not a rotating account manager). Social media management included or available at reduced rate.

What you do not get: vague monthly reports, keyword-stuffed blog posts, AI-generated content, generic templates, or a dashboard you have to interpret yourself. We show you letter grades, specific fixes, and measurable progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about iORSO SEO & AEO services.
How is iORSO different from other Atlanta SEO agencies?
Two things. First, every page we touch is scored 0 to 100 with a transparent quality system. You see letter grades, not vague monthly reports. Second, we optimize for AI search citations (AEO and GEO), not just Google rankings. Most agencies are still optimizing for the traditional search landscape. We optimize for both simultaneously.
What is AEO and do I need it?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It structures your content so AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can find, understand, and cite your business. With 58 to 60 percent of Google searches ending without a click, AEO is how businesses stay visible as search shifts from links to AI-generated answers. Yes, you need it.
What is GEO and how does it relate to AEO?
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. It is the same practice as AEO. AEO emphasizes your content becoming the answer AI gives. GEO emphasizes optimizing for generative AI systems. Different name, identical methodology, same results.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes (schema, broken links, site speed) reflect in Google Search Console within 30 to 60 days. Content-driven ranking improvements typically show at 60 to 90 days. AEO results can appear within 30 days because AI engines re-index faster than Google’s traditional ranking algorithm. The first 90 days build the infrastructure. Months 4 through 12 compound on it.
How much does SEO cost at iORSO?
SEO, AEO, and GEO retainers start at $2,500 per month for Atlanta metro businesses. The scope depends on site size and competitive landscape. AEO readiness audits start at $1,500 as a standalone engagement. We publish our pricing because we believe hiding it signals something about an agency’s confidence.
Can you show me results before I commit?
Yes. The standalone AEO readiness audit at $1,500 scores your site, tests AI citations, and delivers a prioritized action plan with no obligation. Most audit clients convert to retainers because the report shows them exactly what is broken and what to fix.
Do you work with businesses outside Atlanta?
Our local SEO, AEO, and GEO expertise is strongest across 45 Atlanta metro cities. For businesses outside Georgia, we evaluate fit on a case-by-case basis. For AI implementation and automation through our BrainEXT process, we work with businesses remotely.
What is included in the $2,500/month retainer?
Technical SEO audit and fixes, content optimization with AEO/GEO structure, schema deployment, internal linking, Google Business Profile management, monthly quality re-scoring, AI citation testing, content strategy, and a dedicated strategist.
How do you track AI search performance?
Monthly AI citation tests querying ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews with your target terms. We document where you appear, how you are described, and how you compare to competitors. This is layered on top of traditional Google Search Console tracking for a complete picture of both search channels.
