Checking SEO or GEO offers: questions before hiring
How to check SEO and GEO offers: Google's questions for providers plus checks on reporting, access, contract term and AI texts, without ranking promises.
A website is of little use if nobody finds it. The articles in this category show how search engine optimisation works in practice today: from keyword research through the technical basis — indexability, structured data, a clean page architecture, internal linking — to local signals such as business profiles, reviews and regional landing pages. Measurement is part of it too: which content creates demand, and which only creates maintenance work? Because more and more people ask their questions in AI systems, we also look at the role that structured, easily quotable content plays there. Every article stays specific enough that you can implement the steps yourself or commission them deliberately. Where figures appear, the source is named.
