The shift

Search changed. Your customers ask AI now.

Buyers don’t just Google anymore. They ask ChatGPT for recommendations, read Perplexity comparisons, and rely on Google AI Overviews before clicking. If your brand isn’t cited there, you’re invisible — even when you rank #1 on classic SEO.

Rise is built for this. Every engagement covers three search surfaces: classic SEO, AI search visibility (GEO/AEO), and paid acquisition. One playbook, three surfaces, measurable outcomes.

FAQ

Things teams ask before signing.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) make your brand visible in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini. In 2026, AI answers replace classic search clicks for 30-40% of buyer research queries. If you are not cited there, competitors who are will own the conversation.

Paid channels show momentum inside 3-4 weeks. SEO and GEO take longer expect early traction at 90 days and meaningful shifts between months 4-6. We share 30-day status reports either way.

Most clients start with the Starter or Growth package on a 3- or 6-month contract. Each engagement includes a senior strategist, a small specialist pod, weekly calls, and a shared Slack channel. About 60% expand to multi-channel after the first quarter.

Monthly retainers, never any markup on media spend. What platforms charge for ads is what you pay them — no hidden middleman fee. Retainers start at Rs. 25,000/month and scale with scope. One-page proposal after every discovery call.

We are headquartered in Pimpri, Pune, but most of our clients are spread across India. Communication is async-first with weekly video calls and a shared Slack. Local SEO clients tend to be Pune-area; everything else is location-agnostic.

Two safeguards. Our contracts have a 30-day exit clause after the third month, and we run a ‘red flag’ review at day 60 — if leading indicators are off, we sit down, explain why, and either adjust the plan or part ways cleanly. No lock-in.
