AIM World runs Generative Engine Optimization as a 90-day sprint in three phases: foundation, content core, and scale and handoff. Each phase ends with deliverables deployed on the client's site and verified, not with a slide deck. Pricing is set per scope after a 20-minute call and depends on pages, markets, languages and off-site work.
Before day one: a baseline that can be checked later
Every AIM World GEO sprint starts by checking that AI crawlers can actually enter the site. GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Googlebot and Bingbot are tested one by one against the live server, because a robots.txt that allows a crawler is not enough when the server or the CDN answers it with an error. If any of them is blocked, fixing that becomes the first deliverable of the sprint, ahead of any content work.
The second part of the baseline is a controlled battery of questions run on the main AI engines. One set asks about the brand directly: what it does, how it differs, how to hire it. A second set asks the questions a buyer would ask without knowing the brand exists. Each question runs in clean sessions, with the same wording across rounds, and every answer is recorded with the engine, the date and whether it searched the web. That record is what later results are compared against.
Month 1: foundation
The first month of a GEO sprint fixes what stops AI systems from reading and understanding the site. AIM World reviews crawl access, rendering, canonical signals and internal links, then implements structured data that describes the business accurately: Organization, Service or Product, FAQ, Article and Breadcrumb, connected through stable identifiers so search engines see one coherent entity. The month also fixes the inconsistencies between the website, profiles and directories that make an assistant describe the company with outdated or wrong facts.
The exit criterion for month one is concrete: the priority pages return a valid response to every relevant crawler, the structured data validates, and the facts that describe the business are approved by someone at the client. Month two does not start until those three things are true.
Month 2: content core
The second month rewrites the ten to fifteen pages that carry commercial intent so they answer the questions buyers actually ask. Each page leads with a direct answer of a few sentences, followed by paragraphs that can be lifted out and still make sense on their own, because a retrieval system quotes one passage, not the whole page. Pages that help a buyer decide, such as how the service works, what drives the cost and how it compares with the alternatives, are usually missing and are usually the ones an AI engine needs to recommend a company.
The same month starts the off-site authority work: consistent profiles, relevant directories and publications in the category, and original material such as data, procedures or results with their limitations stated. AIM World does not buy disguised mentions, write fake reviews or post as users in forums.
Month 3: scale and handoff
The third month turns the work into something the client's team can keep running. AIM World delivers an editable playbook, page templates, briefing documents and a short-form content calendar, and trains the people who will publish. A monthly scorecard repeats the same question battery from the baseline, so changes in how AI engines mention and describe the brand can be compared round by round instead of being judged from a single screenshot.
What drives the cost of a GEO sprint
AIM World prices each sprint per scope after a 20-minute call, because the work varies a lot from one company to another. The four factors that move the price most are the number of priority pages that need rewriting, the number of markets and languages, how much off-site authority work the category demands, and whether the client's team publishes the changes or AIM World does.
What each number in a GEO report proves, and what it does not
| Measure | What it shows | What it does not prove on its own |
|---|---|---|
| Crawlers receiving 200 | The door is open | That any page is indexed |
| Search Console generative AI report | Impressions in AI Overviews and AI Mode | Clicks, sales or presence in other assistants |
| Question battery | Mention frequency and accuracy on a defined set of questions | Market share or real user exposure |
| Referral traffic from assistants | Visits with an identifiable AI source | All AI-influenced traffic, part of it arrives without a referrer |
| Leads and sales | Business outcome | That GEO caused them, only correlation in time |
What a GEO sprint will not promise
A GEO sprint with AIM World does not promise positions, a number of leads or that a specific assistant will recommend the brand. Meeting the technical requirements makes a page eligible to be cited, not chosen. FAQ rich results in Google were retired on 7 May 2026, so FAQ content is written for buyers and for extraction, not for a search snippet. And llms.txt is optional: Google has stated it is not a requirement for its search features, so it never replaces useful pages.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a GEO sprint with AIM World take?
A GEO sprint with AIM World runs for 90 days in three phases: foundation, content core, and scale and handoff. Each phase has an exit criterion that has to be true before the next one starts, so a delay in access or approvals moves the phase instead of being reported as partially complete.
Does AIM World guarantee that ChatGPT or Perplexity will cite my brand?
No. Nobody controls what an AI engine decides to cite. AIM World commits to deliverables deployed and verified within the sprint, and measures citation and mention changes against a baseline taken before any work starts. Changes in AI answers usually take several weeks to show and are reported as measured, never as guaranteed.
What does AIM World need from the client to start?
Access to the website or a person who can publish, access to Google Search Console and analytics if they exist, the list of products or services that matter commercially, and one person who can approve facts about the company. Without someone approving facts, nothing that describes the business gets published.
Does AIM World work in Spanish as well as English?
Yes. AIM World delivers GEO work in English and Spanish. Each language gets its own pages with their own address, language tag and canonical, because content that only appears through a language switch in JavaScript does not exist for search engines or AI crawlers.
