Generative Engine Optimization Services Built as a Monthly Retainer

Q: Can I bundle GEO with traditional SEO?

Yes, and most clients do. A bundled SEO and GEO retainer typically lands $1,500 to $3,000 below running them separately because the underlying authority and content work serves both.

Q: Do you guarantee specific AI visibility outcomes?

No. We commit to the workstreams, monthly outputs, cadence, and reporting. We do not guarantee specific AI mentions or rankings because those depend on category competition and starting point.

Q: What happens in month one of a new retainer?

Full AI visibility audit, entity and schema audit, buyer-question library build, content brief development, PR target list. The first content piece and first PR pitch usually go out at the end of month one.

Q: How does Enleaf measure if a GEO retainer is working?

Tracked-question AI visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude as the primary layer; brand mention volume and quality as the leading indicator; traditional SEO metrics underneath.

Q: What if my category is too small for AI visibility to matter yet?

We will tell you on the first call. If buyers in your category do not research in AI tools, GEO is premature. We send those prospects toward traditional SEO and check back in a year.

Enleaf delivers Generative Engine Optimization services as a structured monthly retainer with defined scope, set deliverables, and a fixed reporting cadence. If you have already read about what GEO is and you are ready to see what an engagement actually looks like, this page lays out what you buy: the workstreams, the monthly outputs, the scope tiers, the price bands, and the way the program runs month over month. Built on the Authority Engineering framework our founder Adam Chronister published in 2026.

GENERATIVE ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

GEO Services That Earn AI Citations

Generative engine optimization gets your brand named and cited inside the answers AI engines generate for buyers in your category. If your visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews is thin or absent, the fix lives in the recurring content, entity, and PR work this retainer runs.

Three retainer tiers

Foundation, Growth, and Authority. Scope and price scale with the size of the gap and category competitiveness.

Set monthly outputs

Every tier ships a defined number of citation-ready content pieces, schema deployments, digital PR placements, and AI visibility checks each month.

Sequenced 12-month roadmap

No “do everything at once” backlog. Months 1-3 build the foundation, months 4-6 produce the consensus signal, months 7-12 compound the authority.

Dedicated GEO strategist

One named strategist runs your account from kickoff through reporting. Continuity matters when the program is multi-quarter.

Monthly AI visibility reports

Tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude on the questions your buyers actually ask.

30-day notice cancellation

Month-to-month after the first 90 days. We earn the renewal each quarter.

What LLM SEO Actually Means

LLM SEO is the practice of getting large language models to surface and cite your brand when they answer a category question. It is more technical than the broader AI search optimization conversation because the unit of work is the model itself: how it was trained, what it retrieves at query time, how its embedding space ranks candidate sources, and how its citation behavior differs from other models.

A buyer asking ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity the same question can get four different short lists of recommended brands. The differences are not random. They reflect each model’s training data window, retrieval setup, citation behavior, and ranking logic. LLM SEO is the discipline of being on every short list.

Adam, on what makes LLMs different from traditional search: “LLMs don’t use backlinks, for the most part. It’s usually consensus. Can I see a wide consensus of information that can be correlated and validated across data points? And then if so, I’m more likely to present that in search.“

That mechanism, consensus across credible sources, is the signal LLM SEO is built around.

3 Layers

What an Enleaf GEO Retainer Includes

A GEO retainer is a coordinated program with five recurring workstreams. Each workstream has a defined monthly output, a defined owner inside our team, and a defined contribution to the overall AI visibility goal.

1. Citation-ready content production

Every month we ship a set of content pieces engineered to be extracted by AI systems and cited as the source. The pieces are not generic blog posts. They are reference-grade entries: original frameworks, original benchmarks, deep category guides, definitional pages, and the long-form reference content that becomes what other publishers point to. Foundation tier ships 2 pieces per month, Growth ships 4, and Authority ships 6 plus one quarterly research report.
Adam, on the format AI systems pull from: “Nobody wants to see a wall of text. But at the same time, that content is what those systems cling on to.” The trick is structure plus depth. Every piece we publish is built for both.

2. Schema and entity infrastructure

Generative engines work on entities, not strings. Every retainer includes ongoing schema deployment (Service, Article, Organization, Person, FAQPage, HowTo, Product, Review, LocalBusiness where appropriate), entity audits across the Knowledge Graph and Wikidata, sameAs linking for your brand and named experts, and the structured data that makes your site readable to AI crawlers. Foundation tier covers a full site audit plus monthly maintenance, Growth tier adds quarterly entity expansion campaigns, and Authority tier includes Wikipedia and Wikidata work where the business genuinely qualifies.

3. Digital PR and brand mention building

This is where most of the consensus signal actually gets built. Adam, from his book: “Authority cannot live only on the platform you control. A brand visible exclusively on its own website presents a single-source signal.” Every retainer runs a monthly digital PR campaign: pitch development, journalist outreach, podcast booking, contributed content placement, and brand mention reclamation. Foundation tier targets 1 to 2 placements per month, Growth targets 3 to 4, and Authority targets 5 plus quarterly thought leadership campaigns.

4. Original research and reference assets

The fastest path to becoming the cited source is publishing data nobody else has. Original surveys, original benchmarks, category-defining frameworks. Authority tier includes one quarterly original research project (design, fielding, analysis, write-up, distribution). Growth tier includes one per six months. Foundation tier focuses on framework and benchmark content rather than primary research.

5. AI visibility tracking and reporting

Every retainer includes monthly AI visibility checks across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude on a tracked list of buyer questions agreed at kickoff. The monthly report names which questions you appear in, which competitors you displaced, which content or PR placements drove the lift, and what to push next. Traditional SEO metrics (organic traffic, keyword rankings, conversions) run alongside as the second tracking layer.

"When an AI system is deciding what to say about my category, why would it name my company instead of my competitors? That question changes almost everything."

What Makes Us Different

How a Month Inside the Retainer Actually Runs

The cadence is consistent across clients so you know what to expect. The mix shifts as the program matures, but the rhythm holds.

Week 1: Strategy and content briefs

Your strategist reviews the prior month’s report, identifies the next priority workstream, and drafts content briefs and PR pitches for the month. You get the briefs to review by the end of the week. Anything you flag gets revised before production starts.

Week 2: Production

Content writers, schema engineers, and the digital PR team execute against the briefs. You see drafts and pitch angles for approval. Schema goes into staging for review. Original research, when it is in scope, is in fielding or analysis depending on the project phase.

Week 3: Publish, deploy, place

Approved content goes live. Schema deploys to production with validation through Rich Results Test. PR pitches go out to the journalist and podcast lists. Reclaimed brand mentions get attributed.

Week 4: Track and report

We run the monthly AI visibility check across the five major AI surfaces, log the wins and gaps, prepare the report, and meet with your team to walk through it. The report includes the call to action for the next month. The cycle restarts.

Our Tires

Scope Tiers and Price Bands

GEO retainers are sized to your starting point, not sold off a shelf. The three tiers are starting points, not final offers. We propose a custom scope on the first call after looking at your current AI visibility and the size of the gap.

Foundation tier

For businesses that need to establish baseline AI visibility and have not done structured GEO work before. Typical scope: 2 citation-ready content pieces per month, full schema deployment in month one with monthly maintenance, 1 to 2 digital PR placements per month, monthly AI visibility tracking and reporting.

Typical price band: $4,000 to $5,500 per month.

Best fit for local services, regional B2B, and small specialty e-commerce.

Growth tier

For businesses already getting some AI visibility who need to compound it. Typical scope: 4 content pieces per month, ongoing schema and entity expansion, 3 to 4 PR placements per month, one original benchmark or framework asset every six months, monthly tracking and reporting.

Typical price band: $6,500 to $9,000 per month.

Best fit for mid-sized B2B, professional services, and growing e-commerce.

Authority tier

For businesses competing in nationally competitive categories where AI visibility is a strategic priority. Typical scope: 6 content pieces per month, full schema and Wikipedia/Wikidata work, 5 PR placements per month, one quarterly original research project, monthly tracking and reporting, plus quarterly executive review.

Typical price band: $10,000 to $15,000 per month.

Best fit for SaaS, enterprise B2B, national e-commerce, and category-defining brands.

What You Get Each Month, Concretely

A common question: “what is in the deliverables list?” Here is the literal answer.

A monthly content batch: 2 to 6 published pieces depending on tier, each engineered for AI extraction.
A monthly schema and entity update: New schema deployed, validated, and documented; entity coverage expanded.
A monthly digital PR report: Pitches sent, placements landed, brand mentions reclaimed, links earned (links are a side effect, not the goal).
A monthly AI visibility report: Tracked-question performance across ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude.
A monthly strategy meeting: Live walk-through of the report with your strategist; decisions on the next month’s priority documented.
A quarterly executive summary: Bigger-picture view of program performance, competitive movement, and the next quarter’s plan.

Our Process

Why Clients Choose Enleaf for a GEO Retainer

Most businesses that come to us have already tried a thin GEO add-on or a single-tool visibility score elsewhere and seen little movement. The teams who switch to an Enleaf GEO retainer tend to cite the same handful of reasons, and they show up below.

Methodology that has been written down.

Adam Chronister published “Authority Engineering: How to Become the Brand AI Recommends” in 2026. The retainer runs on that methodology. Every workstream traces back to a documented mechanism, not a vendor pitch deck.

Run as a program, not a checklist.

Most GEO offers in the market are a one-time entity audit plus a schema deployment. That is a project, not a program. Consensus and AI visibility build through repeated, sequenced work over months. Our retainer is sized to do the work that compounds.

Foundations checked before the meter starts.

If your underlying technical SEO or content depth is broken, GEO work alone will not produce visibility. We tell you that on the first call rather than selling a retainer that floats on top of a cracked foundation. When the foundation needs work first, we propose an SEO + GEO bundled engagement.

Open reporting on real AI surfaces.

The monthly report names which questions you appear in across the actual AI engines, not a vendor-reported visibility score. The diagnostic test is open: ask ChatGPT and Perplexity the questions your buyers ask. You can run the same test yourself and see the same results.

A virtual agency with team members across the US and abroad.

Enleaf is a virtual agency with team members across the US and abroad, with physical offices in Spokane, Coeur d’Alene, Liberty Lake, Seattle, Yakima, Tacoma, and Bellingham.

FAQs

GEO Services FAQ

Straight answers to the questions we hear most often on strategy calls.

What is the minimum engagement length for a GEO retainer?

A 90-day commitment for the first quarter, then month-to-month with 30 days notice after that. The 90-day minimum exists because the first month is mostly foundation work (audit, content briefs, initial schema, PR pitch development), and the work does not produce reportable AI visibility results until month two and three. We do not run 30-day GEO trials because the math does not work for either side.

Can I bundle GEO with traditional SEO?

Yes, and most clients do. A bundled SEO + GEO retainer typically costs meaningfully less than running both as separate engagements because the underlying authority and content work serves both programs at once. On the first call we propose the right mix and quote the combined scope.

Do you guarantee specific AI visibility outcomes?

No. We commit to the workstreams, the monthly outputs, the cadence, and the reporting. We do not guarantee specific AI mentions, ranking positions, or traffic numbers, because those depend on category competition, search engine and AI system changes, and starting point. We can show you historical client data on the kind of lift retainers at each tier typically produce.

What happens in month one of a new retainer?

Month one is heavy on diagnostic and setup. Full AI visibility audit, entity and schema audit, brand mention audit, buyer-question library build, content brief development, PR target list, and tracked-question list approval. The first content piece and first PR pitch usually go out at the end of month one. Visible AI mentions tend to appear month two to three on faster categories, month three to four on slower ones.

Who on your team will I work with?

A named GEO strategist runs your account from day one through every monthly meeting. Behind that strategist sit specialists for content, schema, digital PR, and original research, but you have one consistent point of contact. We have run this account-management model since 2009 because continuity matters more than rotating staff.

How does Enleaf measure if a GEO retainer is working?

Three layers of measurement. Layer one: tracked-question AI visibility (the questions your buyers ask, run monthly across ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude). Layer two: brand mention volume and brand mention quality across credible third-party sources. Layer three: traditional SEO metrics underneath (organic traffic, ranking, conversions). The retainer is producing if layer one trends up consistently month over month, with layer two as the leading indicator.

What if my category is too small for AI visibility to matter yet?

We will tell you on the first call. If your category has no AI search demand and your buyers do not research in AI tools, GEO is a premature investment. We send those prospects toward traditional local SEO or content SEO instead and check back in a year. Adam’s framing: AI search adoption is uneven by category, and the right time to start a GEO program is when your buyers are already there, not before.
