FAQ
Local SEO, AEO & GEO — Answered
Short, direct answers to the questions business owners actually ask before starting SEO.
What is Local SEO?
Local SEO is the process of making a business visible for searches tied to a place, such as “plumber near me” or “AC repair in your city”. Instead of competing nationally, you compete inside a service area, and the main prize is the Google map pack — the three listings shown above the normal results. Read more →
What is GMB?
GMB stands for Google My Business, which is now called Google Business Profile. It is the free Google listing showing your name, hours, services, photos, reviews and call button in Search and Maps, and it is what Google ranks in the map pack. Read more →
What is local SEO vs SEO?
SEO ranks a page for a keyword anywhere; local SEO ranks a business for a keyword in a specific place. Local SEO adds the Google Business Profile, distance, reviews and NAP consistency on top of the usual content, technical and authority work. Read more →
What does AEO stand for?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization — structuring content so answer engines such as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity can understand, trust and cite it. Read more →
What is AEO vs SEO?
SEO targets a ranking position and a click. AEO targets inclusion inside the generated answer itself, so it optimises quotable passages, question-shaped headings, schema and entity consistency rather than just pages and links. Read more →
Will AEO replace SEO?
No. Answer engines mostly cite pages that already rank and already look credible, so technical health, content and authority still decide whether you are eligible to be quoted at all. AEO sits on top of SEO, it does not replace it. Read more →
Is GEO replacing SEO?
No. GEO — Generative Engine Optimization — shapes how AI systems describe and recommend your brand, but it runs on the same index and the same trust signals. In short: SEO gets you eligible, AEO gets you quoted, GEO gets you recommended. Read more →
What are the 3 pillars of Local SEO ranking?
Google ranks local results on relevance (how well your profile and site match the search), distance (how close your business is to the searcher) and prominence (how well known and trusted your business is, based on reviews, citations, links and mentions). Read more →
What is NAP consistency?
NAP stands for Name, Address and Phone number. Google cross-checks these details across your website, directories and social profiles. If they do not match, search engines cannot confidently tie every mention to one business and your local visibility drops. Read more →
What questions should you ask before hiring a Local SEO agency?
Ask what exactly will be done in the first 90 days, who owns the accounts and content, how progress is reported, whether rankings are guaranteed (the honest answer is no), how links and citations are built, and what happens if you stop. Read more →
How long does local SEO take?
Map pack movement often shows in 4 to 10 weeks once the profile and on-site foundations are fixed. Competitive organic terms usually take 4 to 6 months.
How much does it cost?
Monthly Local SEO plans start at $699 a month (about SAR 2,620). Google Business Profile optimization is $349 one-time and websites start at $1,199. Every plan starts with a free audit. Read more →
