Found in search, and in answers. Classic SEO to rank on Google, AEO to own the featured snippet, and GEO so ChatGPT and Perplexity cite you when they answer, run from Addis Ababa.
This is the reporting itself, not a rewrite of it. Every panel below is a Google Search Console or keyword-research screen, cropped to the data and otherwise untouched. Clients see these screens directly, at these intervals.
We lead with Birr Journal, a product we built and run search for ourselves, because you can open the site and check every number against it.

02Three disciplines
SEO, AEO and GEO.
01
SEO — Search Engine Optimisation
The foundation. Technical health, site architecture, content built around real search intent, internal linking and authority. Getting your pages to rank in the classic blue links.
02
AEO — Answer Engine Optimisation
Structuring content so it becomes the answer: featured snippets, People Also Ask, and voice results on Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant. Direct answers, question-shaped headings, FAQ and entity schema.
03
GEO — Generative Engine Optimisation
Being cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Copilot. Passage-level clarity, claims stated so they can be quoted, an llms.txt file, and crawler access for GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot.
04
Technical foundations
Core Web Vitals, crawl budget, indexation, redirect maps, canonical logic and structured data — the work that decides whether anything else can rank.
05
Content
Briefs written after reading the SERP, not before. Produced, edited and updated on a schedule rather than published and abandoned.
06
Local search
Location pages that are genuinely different from each other, plus the listings work covered under Brand & Consulting.
03Packages
Packages and prices.
Monthly SEO, AEO and GEO in three sizes. Pick the closest, and we fix the exact price after the free audit.
Prices are in Ethiopian birr and shown as a range because scope varies. We fix the exact price after a free scoping call.
The “this month” price is already 5% below our usual price. If you won a discount on the prize wheel, it applies on top.
No ranking guarantees, from us or anyone credible. You can leave with 30 days notice.
04Why it matters now
Three boxes, not one.
A buyer looking for what you sell might type it into Google, ask their phone out loud, or ask an AI assistant to just recommend someone. Those are three different systems with three different rules.
Ranking first on Google does not automatically mean you are the answer read aloud by a voice assistant, and neither guarantees an AI assistant will name you.
The underlying work overlaps — clean structure, clear claims, real expertise — but each has specific requirements, and most agencies still only do the first.
We report on all three separately, so you can see where you are winning and where you are invisible.
05Questions
Search questions.
Three to six months to compound meaningfully, sometimes longer in competitive markets. Technical fixes can move things within weeks. Anyone promising first-page rankings in 30 days is selling you something.
They share foundations but not requirements. AEO needs question-shaped structure and answer-first writing. GEO depends on being quotable at passage level and letting AI crawlers in — GPTBot and PerplexityBot are blocked by default on a lot of sites, which quietly makes you invisible to them.
No, and nobody credible does. We guarantee the work, report the movement honestly including where it has not moved, and you can leave with 30 days notice.
Only one thing is stored by default: whether you chose light or dark mode.
