Quick answer: Hire SEO and GEO done for you for $399 a month. Each month: your buyer questions tracked on Google, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity; the gaps found where a competitor is named and you are not; pages and technical issues fixed; outreach to the reviews and lists that should mention you; and a monthly call with a plain-English report.
Who this is for, and who it is not
This page is for hiring a seo specialist for a defined piece of work. It is not a job listing.
- Companies invisible in AI answers. Buyers ask ChatGPT and Perplexity, and a competitor gets named.
- Sites with traffic but no leads from search. Pages written for the questions buyers actually ask.
- Teams without an in-house SEO. One flat monthly price instead of hourly billing.
It is the wrong buy in these cases:
- Guaranteed rankings. Nobody can promise them honestly.
- One-off audits only. This is a monthly programme; a UX audit is the one-off option for the site itself.
- Link schemes. Outreach is to real reviews, directories and lists.
What a month includes
- Track: your buyer questions on Google, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, with WebValet.
- Find: questions where a competitor is named and you are not, and the sources behind them.
- Fix: pages written to answer those questions, and technical issues that stop machines reading your site.
- Reach: outreach to the reviews, directories and lists that should mention you.
- Report: a monthly call and a plain-English report on what was done and what moved.

How to vet any seo specialist
Whoever you hire, check these before you sign:
- AI answers, not only rankings. Ask how they measure whether ChatGPT and Perplexity name you.
- Evidence for each action. Every change tied to a question buyers ask and a source that is cited.
- Plain reporting. What was done, what moved and what is next, without jargon.
- No guarantees. Anyone promising a ranking is selling the promise, not the work.
- Technical basics. Crawl access, structured data and fast pages fixed first.
SEO and GEO: what changed
Buyers increasingly ask AI assistants instead of searching, and those assistants name a few companies with sources. GEO, generative engine optimisation, is the work of being one of them: clear pages that answer the question, structured data, and mentions in the sources the assistants cite. What GEO is and what AEO is explain the terms.
