AI SEO & GEO Services · Rockville, MD
Get Your Business and Products Recommended by ChatGPT, Google AI, and Perplexity
Sophylabs is a Maryland-based software and AI company headquartered in Rockville, MD. Our AI Visibility Program does the SEO and GEO work that gets companies and online stores found, cited, and recommended by AI answer engines — then tracks it every month so you can see what changed.
Quick Answer
The Sophylabs AI Visibility Program is a done-for-you SEO + GEO service for companies and e-commerce stores: a $1,800 one-time setup (technical SEO, schema, 5 answer-first page rewrites, product feeds for stores, and a 25-prompt AI visibility baseline), then $300/month for tracking across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Claude, and Copilot plus ongoing page refreshes. No long-term contract.
Your Customers Are Asking AI Who to Buy From
Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI answers questions like “best accountant in Bethesda” or “waterproof hiking boots under $150” — and get back a short list of names. If your business or product isn't on that list, you don't lose the click. You never get considered.
AI answers are built from a handful of sources: pages the engine can crawl, understand, and quote, and product data it can trust. Most sites fail on basics — AI crawlers blocked by default, no structured data, vague marketing copy that can't be quoted, product feeds with missing prices or identifiers. Those are fixable problems, and that is what this program fixes.
SEO First, Then GEO — Not Hype
Google's own guidance says AI Overviews and AI Mode reward the same fundamentals as regular search. So we start there: crawlability, indexing, page quality, and valid structured data. Then we add the GEO layer AI engines extract from — self-contained answers, FAQs phrased the way people actually ask, consistent business and product facts across the web, and citation tracking.
We won't sell you magic files or secret markup. Extras like llms.txt are cheap hygiene for some AI crawlers; they are not a Google ranking lever, and we say so.
What the $1,800 Setup Includes
The setup takes about 2 weeks and covers everything your site needs to be found and cited. Every client gets the core work; online stores also get the e-commerce track.
Core (every business)
- AI visibility baseline: 25 buyer prompts tested across 5 AI engines, with your share of mentions vs. up to 3 competitors.
- Technical SEO audit and fixes: crawlability, indexing, canonicals, sitemap, page speed, and AI-crawler access in robots.txt.
- Structured data: Organization, FAQPage, Service or LocalBusiness, and Breadcrumb JSON-LD, validated in Google's Rich Results Test.
- 5 key pages rewritten answer-first with a Quick Answer block and an FAQ section that matches its schema.
- Entity consistency: Google Business Profile, Bing Places, and major profiles aligned on the same facts.
- Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools set up, sitemaps submitted, recrawl requested.
E-commerce track (online stores)
- Google Merchant Center feed audit and fixes, with free listings enabled — the data source for Google's Shopping Graph.
- Bing Merchant Center feed so your products can appear in Copilot shopping answers.
- Product schema done right: Product, Offer, shipping and return policy markup on your product templates — no fake ratings.
- Product data hygiene: consistent GTIN, MPN, and SKU values; canonical URLs for product variants.
- AI merchant programs: application support for the ChatGPT and Perplexity merchant programs where your store is eligible.
- Category and comparison content structured for buying-stage questions like “best X for Y.”
We work on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, WordPress, Webflow, and custom Next.js or React sites.
What $300/Month Includes
The monthly retainer is execution, not just a dashboard. Every month you get:
25 prompts tracked across 5 engines
ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Perplexity, Claude, and Copilot — included by default, not sold as add-ons.
Monthly visibility report
Where you were mentioned or cited, which sources the AI used, and your share of mentions against up to 3 competitors, compared with your baseline.
2 page refreshes per month
We update or optimize two pages based on what the report shows — new answers, new FAQs, fresher facts.
Schema and feed health checks
We fix Search Console structured-data errors and Merchant Center feed warnings before they cost you visibility.
Freshness and recrawl signals
Sitemap dates updated for real changes and recrawl requested in Google and Bing for every page we touch.
Month-to-month
No 6-month minimum. Cancel any time and keep all the work.
Which AI Engines We Optimize For
Each engine pulls its answers from different sources, so the program covers the source behind each one:
Google AI Overviews & AI Mode
Google's search index, plus the Shopping Graph (fed by Merchant Center) for products.
ChatGPT
Live web search results, plus merchant product feeds for shopping answers.
Microsoft Copilot
Bing's index and Bing Merchant Center — often neglected, usually quick to fix.
Perplexity
Live web citations, plus its free Merchant Program for product results.
Claude
Web search with cited sources — rewards the same clear, factual pages.
How It Works

We run your 25 tracked prompts across all 5 engines, audit your site and, for stores, your product feeds.
Fix and publish (week 2)
Technical fixes, schema, 5 rewritten pages, and feed corrections go live, then we request recrawls in Google and Bing.
Track and improve (monthly)
Every month: a visibility report against your baseline, two page refreshes, and health fixes.
AI SEO & GEO Pricing
The AI Visibility Program costs $1,800 one-time for setup and $300 per month after that, month-to-month. The same price applies to service businesses and e-commerce stores; stores receive the e-commerce track at no extra cost.
| Option | Typical price | Who does the work |
|---|---|---|
| Sophylabs AI Visibility Program | $1,800 setup + $300/mo | We do — setup, fixes, tracking, refreshes |
| AI visibility monitoring tools | ~$29 – $500/mo | You do — the tool only reports |
| GEO agency retainers | ~$2,500 – $8,000+/mo, often 6-month minimum | They do — broader content and PR scope |

What We Will and Won't Promise
We promise
- Every deliverable listed on this page, on schedule
- A measured baseline, so progress is a number
- Valid schema that matches your visible content
- Plain-English monthly reports
We won't promise
- A guaranteed citation in ChatGPT or Google
- A #1 spot by a specific date
- Results from tricks, hidden text, or fake reviews
- That one file or tag fixes everything
No one controls what AI engines say. Anyone guaranteeing placement is guessing or gaming the system, and gaming tends to get undone by the next model update.

AI SEO & GEO Services FAQ
What are AI SEO and GEO services?
AI SEO and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) services make a business's website and products easy for AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Perplexity, Claude, and Copilot — to find, trust, and cite. Sophylabs, a Maryland-based company in Rockville, MD, delivers this as a done-for-you program: technical SEO, schema, answer-first content, and monthly tracking.
How much do GEO and AI SEO services cost?
Sophylabs' AI Visibility Program costs $1,800 one-time for setup, then $300 per month, month-to-month with no minimum term. For comparison, GEO agency retainers commonly start around $2,500–$3,500 per month, and AI visibility monitoring tools typically cost $29–$500 per month without doing any of the optimization work for you.
How do I get my business mentioned in ChatGPT?
To get a business mentioned in ChatGPT, its website must be crawlable by AI search bots, describe the business in clear factual sentences, answer the questions customers actually ask, and be consistent with what other trusted sites say about it. ChatGPT search pulls from the live web, so strong classic SEO plus extractable, answer-first pages is the foundation.
How do I get my products recommended by ChatGPT and Google AI Mode?
To get products recommended by ChatGPT and Google AI Mode, keep a complete, accurate product feed in Google Merchant Center (which feeds Google's Shopping Graph), mirror it in Bing Merchant Center for Copilot, mark up product pages with valid Product and Offer schema, use consistent GTINs, and apply to the ChatGPT and Perplexity merchant programs where your store is eligible.
How long does it take to show up in AI Overviews and ChatGPT?
Showing up in AI Overviews and ChatGPT usually takes several weeks to a few months after changes go live. Sophylabs' setup finishes in about 2 weeks; search engines then need to recrawl the updated pages, and AI answers typically lag that recrawl by days to weeks. Nobody can honestly guarantee a citation date or placement.
Is GEO different from SEO?
GEO builds on SEO rather than replacing it. Google's own guidance says AI Overviews and AI Mode reward the same fundamentals as regular search, so crawlability, quality content, and structured data come first. GEO adds the layer AI engines extract from: self-contained answers, FAQ-style content that mirrors real questions, consistent entity information, and tracking of AI citations.
