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.

Compliance Governance: GEO Red Lines and Self-Checks

GEO wants to be cited, but being cited incorrectly is worse than not being cited at all. Four red lines that must not be crossed, a five-item self-check list, and additional requirements for highly sensitive industries.

Compliance Governance: GEO Red Lines and Self-Checks

Conclusion first: the compliance bottom line for GEO comes down to one sentence — every statement you make must withstand verification by others. Once AI treats your erroneous information as fact and repeats it, the scope of spread and the cost of correction far exceed those of ordinary content.

I. Four Red Lines

1. Fabricating data, cases, and qualifications

Inventing a customer count, a certification, or a "industry first" may get cited in the short term, but it will inevitably be discovered in the long run. Once a platform judges you an untrustworthy source, all prior accumulation is invalidated along with it.

2. Mass pseudo-original content

Rewriting others' articles and publishing them at scale will only be treated by AI as duplication of homogeneous content. You neither earn citations nor avoid diluting your own site quality.

3. Faking authority

Fabricating author titles, borrowing institutional names, or misappropriating media endorsements — such practices are especially dangerous in structured data, because machines will read them as fact.

4. Promising returns and absolute claims

"Guaranteed rankings," "sure profits," "100% pass rate" are risk points in any industry, and especially so in finance, healthcare, and education.

II. Five Self-Checks

Item	Ask yourself
Facts	Can every number be traced to a source?
Identity	Are the author, institution, and qualifications real?
Boundaries	Are the applicable conditions and inapplicable scenarios clearly stated?
Timeliness	Does the page have an update time, and are the key facts still valid?
Consistency	Is it consistent with other pages on the official site and external materials?

If three or more of the five items are missing, this page will be hard-pressed to become a high-priority source even if it is well written.

III. Additional Requirements for Highly Sensitive Industries

Finance: Distinguish information services from investment advice; state risk warnings, applicable customer types, and rule update times.
Healthcare: Distinguish popular science from diagnostic and treatment advice; label information sources and scope of application.
Education and training: Do not promise outcomes; describe the real situation of faculty and courses.

IV. Governance Is Not Hitting the Brakes

Writing boundaries clearly actually increases the probability of being recommended — only when the model has clear conditions it can restate will it dare to put you into an answer. The two statements "who it suits and who it doesn't" are both compliance and competitiveness.
