FAQ

What is a GEO agency?

A GEO agency (generative engine optimisation) gets your business named and cited inside AI answers, rather than ranked in a list of blue links. When a customer asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews for a recommendation, a GEO agency works to make your business one of the ones the engine names.

The work splits into four parts, and only one of them happens on your own website.

  • Index membership. Each engine reads a different search index. ChatGPT and Copilot read Bing. Gemini and Google AI Overviews read Google. Perplexity runs its own. Claude reads Brave. You cannot be cited by an engine whose index you are not in, so this is the gate before everything else.
  • Entity clarity. The engine has to tell who you are, unambiguously, and match your name to your website. Inconsistent details across your site, listings and profiles work against you.
  • Answer-shaped content. The engine rewrites the customer question into its own search query, then quotes whatever answers it most directly. Content written as a direct answer gets quoted. Marketing copy gets skipped.
  • Third-party corroboration. Engines cross-reference, and rarely take a company's word for its own legitimacy. Independent pages naming you and your website together carry more weight than anything you publish about yourself.

What does a GEO agency in Dubai do?

A GEO agency in Dubai does the same core work as anywhere else, plus three things specific to this market: it handles Arabic as well as English, it fixes your Google Business Profile and local listings, and it understands that a UAE buyer often asks an AI assistant in one language and searches in another.

The Dubai-specific parts matter more than people expect.

  • Arabic is a separate index. A business can be perfectly visible in English AI answers and completely absent in Arabic ones. The competition in Arabic is a fraction of the competition in English, and almost nobody works it properly.
  • Local entity signals. A verified Google Business Profile with the correct category, a trade licence number, and consistent details across UAE directories all help an engine confirm you are a real, locatable business rather than a name on a website.
  • Local corroboration. UAE publications, directories and communities are what an engine reaches for when the question mentions Dubai or the UAE. Generic international coverage does not substitute for it.

Get AI Cited (getaicited.ai) is a Dubai-licensed GEO agency: Get AI Cited Technology, DET licence 1635658, working in English and Arabic across the UAE and the Gulf.

How much does a GEO agency in Dubai cost?

GEO pricing spans roughly three tiers: self-serve tracking tools at about $29 to $399 a month, managed agency services from a few thousand dollars a month, and enterprise managed services in the five figures monthly. Get AI Cited publishes its pricing openly rather than quoting on request.

What you are paying for varies enormously between those tiers, and the labels do not tell you much. Worth asking any provider:

  • Is this a tool or a service? A tool reports what is happening. A service changes it. A lot of what is sold as GEO is a dashboard.
  • What does the monthly fee buy? Reporting only, or actual off-site work, content and entity fixes.
  • How do they measure? See below. This is the question that separates providers.

See our pricing for what we charge and what is included.

How do I choose a GEO agency in Dubai?

Ask three questions: how many times do they run each test prompt, do they report a range or a single number, and will they show you the runs that went against them. A provider who checks a prompt once and shows you a screenshot cannot tell you whether the result is real or just normal variation between runs.

Those questions work because AI answers move on their own. In our own testing on a fixed set of questions, changing nothing between runs, the answer set changed 27.8% of the time. Independent research by Petra Labs, running 7,200 responses in a single day, reached a compatible conclusion: a 20% swing over a week is most likely sampling noise, and the ranking order of brands is far more stable than the exact percentages.

So a single before-and-after screenshot sits inside the noise band. It is not evidence, whether it flatters the agency or not.

A checklist that will serve you with any provider, including us:

  • How many runs per prompt? One is a coin flip.
  • Do you separate brand mentioned from my website cited? Different outcomes, different fixes.
  • Do you track share of voice, not just presence? Named in 2 of 10 runs while a competitor is named in 9 is a loss.
  • Do you publish your method? Can I read it before I buy?
  • Will you show me the months where nothing moved?

Read our published method and the engine volatility study those numbers come from.

What are GEO services in the UAE, and how are they different from SEO?

SEO aims to rank a page in a list of links. GEO services aim to get your business named and quoted inside a generated answer, where there is no list to be tenth in. The overlap is index membership. The difference is that AI engines extract and attribute a specific claim rather than rank a page.

Good SEO helps, because index membership overlaps and Gemini and Google AI Overviews are grounded in Google's index. But Google SEO does nothing for ChatGPT, which reads Bing. That is the most expensive misunderstanding in this category.

  • SEO: goal is a position. Measured by rank tracking. Mostly one index.
  • GEO / AEO: goal is a citation. Measured by repeated prompt sampling. Four separate indexes.

How do I get my Dubai business cited by ChatGPT?

Get into the Bing index first. ChatGPT Search retrieves from Bing, not Google, so your Google ranking does not help here. Verify your site in Bing Webmaster Tools, submit your sitemap, allow the AI crawlers in robots.txt, and put a clean factual answer in the first 60 words of each page.

In order, and the order matters:

  • Verify in Bing Webmaster Tools and check Site Explorer for indexed URLs. If it shows zero, that is your entire problem this month and nothing else will change it.
  • Allow the crawlers. GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot and ChatGPT-User in robots.txt. Blocked by default in some common setups.
  • Answer-shape the page. A question as the heading, a direct 40 to 60 word answer underneath, detail after.
  • Get corroborated. ChatGPT leans heavily on third-party sources. Independent pages naming your business and website together matter more than your own copy.
  • Fix your entity. If a similarly named business exists, the engine will often name them instead of you.

How do I check whether AI mentions my business?

Open a logged-out temporary chat, ask the ten questions your customers actually ask, and write down which businesses get named. Then do it again a week later, having changed nothing. The gap between those two runs is your noise floor, and it is usually larger than people expect.

Two things make this measurement honest rather than decorative:

  • Use a clean surface. Logged out, temporary chat, free tier. Measuring while signed into an account that has been researching your own company measures your history, not the engine.
  • Fix the questions before you start. Write the list before the first measurement, never after, and never adjust it to suit the result.

We run a free AI-visibility check that does this across engines and shows who is being named instead of you.

Can a GEO agency guarantee my business gets cited by AI?

No, and be cautious of any provider who offers it. AI answers are controlled by the engines and change day to day. In our own testing the answer moved 27.8% of the time with no intervention at all. At that level of variation, a guaranteed citation is not something an honest operator can promise.

We had a guarantee drafted. We removed it, because we did not believe our own number could support it.

What can honestly be committed to: a published method, measurement across multiple runs rather than a single check, dated logs, and results reported either way including the ones that go against us. That is slower and less flattering than a screenshot. It is also the only version of this that survives contact with how the engines actually behave.

If a provider offers a guaranteed AI ranking or citation, ask what their measured variance is, and ask to see the runs.

How long does GEO take to work?

We do not publish a typical timeline and would be sceptical of anyone who does. What we can describe are the lags: a new domain takes weeks to be indexed at all, third-party sources take weeks more to be indexed themselves, and being retrieved and cited sits behind both.

The honest shape, from our own measurement and independent practitioner accounts, is months rather than weeks. Anyone promising materially faster is either working with a business that already has substantial authority, or overselling.

It is also why we report the stage you are at rather than a single visibility percentage. Index membership, entity resolution, retrieval and citation are separate problems on separate timescales, and averaging them into one number hides which one is actually blocking you.

Which AI engines does Get AI Cited cover?

ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Grok. Coverage is selected per client, because the engines read different indexes and matter differently depending on your market and your buyers.

Each engine is a separate problem, not a single AI visibility score:

  • ChatGPT and Copilot read the Bing index.
  • Gemini and Google AI Overviews are grounded in Google.
  • Perplexity runs its own index and weights recency heavily.
  • Claude reads the Brave index.

That is four separate index memberships. A business can be strong in one and completely absent from three. See the full breakdown.

Is Get AI Cited a registered company in Dubai?

Yes. Legal name Get AI Cited Technology, licensed by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, trade licence number 1635658. Based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Founder: David William. Contact: hello@getaicited.ai.

We publish the licence number on every page of this site deliberately. Verifiable entity details are exactly what AI engines use to confirm a business is real, and it is reasonable for a buyer to expect the same.

Does Get AI Cited work in Arabic?

Yes. We work in English and Arabic. Arabic is a separate index with a fraction of the competition, and a business can be visible in English AI answers while completely absent from Arabic ones.

For UAE and Gulf businesses this is one of the largest and least contested opportunities available, and very few providers work it properly.
