SEO + GEO Consulting — United States

SEO + GEO Consulting for AI Search Visibility

A growing share of your buyers never reach a search results page. They ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews, read the answer, and move on. I run SEO and GEO as one program: the technical and content work that still wins Google rankings, plus the entity and citation work that gets your company named when an answer engine composes the reply — all of it reported against qualified leads and collected revenue.

I'm Ahmed Ayoutty. I spent 13 years building and running performance marketing agencies — I founded and led TAR, DAAD, and Insight — before moving into AI-native marketing systems. I work fully remotely across the US, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, in English and Arabic.

Reporting standard: the gross visibility influenced — rankings, AI citations, organic traffic — AND the qualified leads and revenue actually collected. Always both numbers.

Who this service is for

This engagement fits US companies whose buyers research before they ever talk to sales: SaaS, professional services, e-commerce, and any category where "best X for Y" questions now get answered by an assistant instead of a results page. Some clients arrive already ranking well in Google yet absent from AI answers. Others have been through a generic agency retainer and can show rank-tracker screenshots without a single line connecting the work to revenue. Both problems have the same fix — and it starts with knowing exactly what the answer engines say about you today.


Why a generic SEO agency won't get you cited in AI answers

The standard "content plus backlinks" package optimizes one surface: the classic Google results page. That surface still matters, and I still work it. What the package ignores is that ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews choose sources by different rules — quotable, self-contained passages; a consistent entity footprint across the web; structured data an engine can parse; and corroboration from third-party sources it already trusts. GEO and AEO are their own disciplines with their own checklists, and treating them as a by-product of ordinary SEO is how brands end up invisible in exactly the place their buyers now ask first. If the three terms blur together, the primer on SEO vs. GEO vs. AEO untangles them.

The second failure is measurement. A position on a keyword is a means, and most agency reporting treats it as the end. If your monthly report stops at rankings and sessions, nobody can tell you whether the program is producing qualified pipeline or quietly burning budget on traffic that never converts.


How I work

The work runs in five stages, each with a clear handoff to the next: audit, strategy, build, measure, optimize — in that order, every time.

Audit

Full technical crawl, a content-gap analysis against the competitors who actually outrank you, and an AI-visibility baseline: for the questions your buyers ask, are you cited, misrepresented, or missing across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews?

Strategy

A roadmap prioritized by commercial impact rather than by what is easiest to bill: which technical fixes ship first, which queries get new pages, which existing pages get restructured so an engine can quote them.

Build

Technical implementation, content engineered to be citable as well as readable, and the schema and entity markup that make your company legible to Google and answer engines alike.

Measure

Rankings, AI citations, and organic traffic reconciled against your CRM — qualified leads, pipeline, CAC, and collected revenue — reported monthly with the gross and the net number together.

Optimize

The refresh cycle follows what the data shows. Pages that stop earning rankings or citations get rebuilt or retired; queries where you're already the cited answer get defended.


What you get

Every engagement is scoped to your site and market, but the core deliverables stay consistent:

Out of scope, and I'll say so up front: paid media management (a separate service of mine), full web design or rebranding, and link-buying schemes — those carry penalty risk no visibility gain justifies.


Where this shows up across US sectors

SaaS companies feel it first: "best [category] software" queries increasingly resolve inside an assistant, and the shortlist it names is the shortlist your buyer evaluates. Professional-services firms — legal, accounting, consulting — face high-consideration buyers who ask an engine for recommendations before they ever fill in a form, which makes entity credibility as important as rankings. E-commerce brands see AI Overviews sitting on top of product and comparison queries, deciding which merchants get mentioned at all. The mechanics differ by sector; the discipline — audit, build, measure against revenue — does not.


The first 30 days

Weeks 1–2: full technical and content audit, competitor gap analysis, and the AI-visibility baseline — a documented snapshot of what every major answer engine currently says about you and your category. Week 3: prioritized roadmap agreed, first batch of technical fixes shipped. Week 4: first citable content in production, citation tracking running, and CRM reporting wired — so we measure qualified leads and revenue from day one instead of discovering in month four that nothing was connected.


How you'll know it's working

Every month you get two numbers side by side, never just one. The gross number covers what the work influenced: rankings, organic sessions, and where you now appear in AI answers. The net number covers what your business banked: qualified leads, pipeline, CAC, and collected revenue, pulled from your CRM. ROAS gets computed from that collected figure, never from a platform dashboard's own claim about itself. I'd rather tell you a page is only moving traffic than let a dashboard flatter both of us — and the same rule that keeps my paid-media reporting honest applies here to organic and AI visibility.


Frequently asked questions

How quickly can we see measurable results?

Technical fixes and quick-win content usually show movement within 4–8 weeks. AI-citation work can surface faster on lower-competition questions, because answer engines refresh their sources more often than rankings turn over; competitive US commercial terms typically need 3–6 months of compounding work. The opening audit flags which of your target queries are quick wins and which are a longer build, so you know the timeline before you commit.

What budget do we need to start?

There is no fixed minimum. The 30-minute growth audit scopes the work against your target queries, your current technical state, and how visible you already are in AI answers — you get a specific number after that, sized to the actual gap rather than a generic retainer tier.

Do you support Arabic and English campaigns?

Yes. I build natively in both languages and work fully remotely across the US, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. For a US company this matters most if you sell into bilingual audiences or Middle East markets; if your buyers are English-only, the same program simply runs in English.

How do you track real revenue, not just platform ROAS?

Everything reconciles to your CRM. Visibility metrics — rankings, AI citations, organic sessions — are the gross number; qualified leads, pipeline, and collected revenue are the net number. You see both side by side every month, so a citation that books no business never gets dressed up as a win, and CAC and ROAS are computed from revenue your finance team would recognize.

How is this different from the existing blog articles on SEO, GEO, and AEO?

The articles — SEO vs. GEO vs. AEO, how to get cited in AI answers, and how to measure AI search visibility — are education: they explain the disciplines and how to think about them. This page is the service itself: a scoped engagement against your site, your competitors, and your budget, with named deliverables and a CRM-tied measurement plan.
