Search & AI-answer optimisation

SEO, GEO & AEO

A 57-check audit of your site (built and run by us, not outsourced), a plain-English scorecard, and the actual fixes shipped, not just a list of things to go do yourself. Covers Google search (SEO), Google AI Overviews (GEO) and AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity (AEO), plus your Google Business Profile and, once you grant access, real Search Console data.

Proof, not promises

We ran this on our own site first

Before we pitch this to anyone, we run the same audit on simpleapps.co.za and fix what it finds. This is the actual before/after from our last pass, not a hypothetical.

What's included

A real scored audit, not a checklist

Our own audit tool crawls the whole site and runs 57 checks, then grades it SEO/AEO/LOCAL/GEO A-F, the same report we run on ourselves before every client.

Fixes shipped, not just flagged

Titles, meta descriptions, schema, broken links, heading structure: we make the changes and deploy them, not hand you a spreadsheet to action yourself.

GEO for AI Overviews

We test whether AI assistants actually name and cite your business for real buyer questions, then structure content to be quotable and citable, not just ranked as a blue link.

AEO for AI assistants

Answer-first page structure, question-and-answer content and clear factual claims so ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity can find, understand and recommend your business.

Google Business Profile + Search Console

We check your Maps listing for what's hurting local search, and once you grant read-only access, fold in real clicks, impressions and ranking position, not just crawled guesses.

Before/after you can see

Every engagement ends with a report showing the actual score movement, delivered as a document you can keep, not a vague "should be better now".

SEO, GEO & AEO Pricing

From R3,500 once-off for a scored audit, or from R3,500/month for ongoing work. Scope depends on site size and how competitive your market is.

Tell us about your site and goals and we'll come back with a clear proposal.

  • Report only: from R3,500 once-off — the scored audit plus a human-reviewed, plain-English summary. Just your website address, no code or CMS access needed.
  • Report + written fixes: from R7,500 once-off — adds ready-to-use rewritten titles, meta descriptions, schema and content, ready to hand to your own developer.
  • Fully shipped: quoted per project — we implement and deploy every fix ourselves, then re-audit to prove the score moved.
  • Ongoing SEO/GEO/AEO: from R3,500/month — quarterly or monthly re-audits to track real movement over time.

Questions people ask

What is GEO?

GEO (generative engine optimisation) is optimising your content so AI-generated answers, like Google's AI Overviews, can accurately understand, quote and cite your business.

What is AEO?

AEO (answer engine optimisation) is optimising specifically for AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity, so they can find, understand and recommend your business when someone asks a question.

Is traditional SEO still relevant?

Yes, Google search rankings still matter and often feed the same AI Overviews. GEO and AEO extend SEO rather than replace it, so we do all three together.

How is this different from a generic SEO agency?

We built our own audit tool rather than reselling a third-party dashboard, so the checks, the scoring and the fixes are all things we can actually explain and change, not a black-box report.

How much does this cost?

A report-only audit starts from R3,500 once-off. Add ready-to-use rewritten fixes from R7,500. Having us implement and deploy everything is quoted per project. Ongoing SEO/GEO/AEO work starts from R3,500/month.

Do you need access to our code to run the audit?

No, just your website address. The audit is entirely external: crawling, a headless browser, and Google's own APIs.

Do you only do this for SimpleApps' own products?

No, this is a service SimpleApps offers to any business, anywhere, that wants to be found in Google, Google AI Overviews, and AI assistants.
