Those answers draw on the Bing index, Google Business Profiles, reviews, directories and how citable each website is, and all of it can be worked on.

Our GEO service →The listings AI reads
ChatGPT search draws on the Bing index, directories and review sites as well as Google. We make sure your business appears consistently and accurately where these systems look: Google Business Profile, Bing Places and the directories that matter in FNQ.
Local proof and entity signals
AI assistants lean on third-party evidence such as reviews, mentions and case studies. We build your review base and local presence so the assistant has reasons to name you.
Losing leads to AI search →How We Get Cairns Businesses Into AI Answers
AI Visibility Check (Week 1)
We run the questions your customers ask, such as the best provider in Cairns, comparisons and recommendations, through ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews and record who gets named. You see where you stand before anything is proposed.
Foundations (Weeks 2-4)
AI crawler access, schema markup with your Cairns service area, and a complete Google Business Profile and Bing Places listing: the technical base that makes your business readable to search engines and AI systems.
Citable Local Content (Ongoing)
We restructure your key pages so AI can quote them: direct answers about your services in Cairns and FNQ, question-based headings and FAQs with schema. Where locals ask questions nobody answers well yet, we create the page that does.
Measure and Iterate (Monthly)
Each month we re-run the same questions and report what changed: where you're now cited, where competitors still win and what we adjust next. AI answers move over weeks to months, and the report says so.
Frequently Asked Questions
A GEO agency helps local businesses appear in AI-generated answers: the recommendations ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews give when someone asks for the best option in Cairns or Far North Queensland. The work covers technical foundations such as AI crawler access and schema markup, citable answer-first content, and a consistent presence across the directories, reviews and listings AI systems read. Compound Co is based in Cairns, offers GEO as a dedicated service and applies every technique to its own website first.
Because customers ask AI assistants for recommendations, and an assistant names only a few businesses in its answer. Those answers are built from the Bing index, Google Business Profiles, reviews, directories and how citable each website is. A business that does this work gives the assistant more reasons to name it. We wrote about why Cairns businesses are losing leads to AI search in more detail.
Local SEO gets you into Google's map pack and local results, a ranked list people scroll. GEO gets you named in the answer itself when someone asks an AI assistant for a recommendation. The two overlap, since a strong Google Business Profile and consistent listings help both, but AI assistants also draw on the Bing index, review platforms and how quotable your website is. We run both together; our SEO Cairns service covers the search side.
At Compound Co, GEO comes with SEO in one monthly plan, Compound SEO & GEO, at $1,500 a month plus GST with a three-month minimum, because AI visibility and search rankings draw on the same content and authority work. If you want to see where your business appears in AI answers before committing, a standalone AI visibility audit is available.
Yes, that is how we start. We run the questions your customers would ask, such as the best provider in Cairns, recommendations for your service and comparisons with competitors, through ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. You see where you appear, where competitors appear and why, before spending anything on fixing it.
