Do I need to prepare my own server?

You need a cloud server with at least 2 cores and 2 GB of RAM; mainstream providers in China and abroad are all fine. After purchase, we provide deployment assistance, and domain resolution and HTTPS certificates are configured as well.

Where is my data stored?

All of it is in your own server and database. We do not host your site, and we cannot access your customer information or inquiry data — this is the most fundamental difference between private deployment and SaaS.

I don't understand technology. Can I use it?

The admin panel is visual: product listing, multiple languages, multiple currencies, template switching, and page design are all done by clicking in the admin panel. Daily operations do not require touching code.

Do templates and plugins need to be purchased separately?

The plan already includes the templates and plugins for the corresponding plan: Basic 2 sets (including the built-in default template), Advanced 4 sets, Enterprise 8 sets, and Flagship all of them. If you want more, templates can be purchased separately; plugins in upgrade packages are not sold separately.

Is there an extra charge for upgrades?

Within the same license period, version updates are completed with one click in the admin panel at no extra charge. If a cross-major-version upgrade is required, we will explain it separately in advance.

What exactly does GEO Agent do?

It organizes products and brand into structured facts that AI retrievers can understand, so that tools like ChatGPT, Doubao, and Perplexity cite you when answering "who can do this" — instead of giving all the traffic to ad slots.

How many plugins are included in the version I bought?

There are 53 plugins in the entire system. Inquiry sites can use up to 40, and online stores can use up to 50, effective according to the version you choose. The Flagship version includes all of them, and future additions are also free.

How is GEO Agent calculated?

Annually, in the same period as the plan. Advanced can be added separately, 3 articles per day; Enterprise already includes it, 5 articles per day. If the volume is not enough, you can contact customer service to add more.

Case Breakdown: GEO Strategies for Local Service Businesses

People running local businesses often feel GEO is far removed from them. Quite the opposite — questions like "which nearby option is more professional" and "how much, how long" are exactly what AI answers most often.

Case Breakdown: GEO Strategies for Local Service Businesses

Conclusion first: local service businesses are not outsiders to GEO — they are the most direct beneficiaries. Because what users ask is often "which nearby option is more suitable," "who is more reliable for a certain need," "which business in a given area is more professional" — these questions are clearly structured and fast to decide on, making them the easiest for AI to answer directly.

1. Three types of high-frequency questions

Scope-related: Which areas do you serve? Do you come to the customer or is it in-store?
Judgment-related: For my situation, which type of service should I look for? What check should I do first?
Cost-related: Roughly how much, what's the starting price, are there hidden fees, how long does it take.

All three types of questions can be clearly stated on the official website, and stating them pays off — because they are also the first things customers ask when they call.

2. Three things that must be clearly stated

Information	Why it's critical	How to write it
Service area and method	Determines "whether this job is taken," and the model also uses it to filter by region	List districts/streets, specify on-site or in-store
Price composition	What users care about most, and what the model is most reluctant to guess	Give a range + component items, note "final price subject to on-site assessment"
Real reviews and cases	Local business runs on word of mouth, and the model relies on it to judge credibility	Be specific about scenarios and results; even if anonymized, keep it real

3. What the official website and local platforms each do

Local platforms handle "being discovered"; the official website handles "being confirmed." When users see you on a map or platform, they will search your name again — if the official website only has a poster at that point, trust breaks down.

So the order is: first write the official website clearly (service scope, pricing, cases, booking method), then manage local platforms and reviews.

4. Three common pitfalls

Only writing "professional and reliable" without stating specifically what you do or how much it costs — neither users nor models will remember it.
Inconsistent information across stores/branches — addresses, phone numbers, and business hours differ from place to place, and the model will get them wrong.
Hiding prices completely — without a range, users will go ask AI, and AI can only cite other businesses.

5. Minimum action

One page covering "service scope + price composition + three real cases + booking method," with one version per region. This page is both a landing page and the page AI is most likely to cite.
