GEO & AI SEO agency · Hong Kong

When buyers ask AI,be the answer.

Q: What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO is the practice of getting a brand named and cited in the answers AI engines give — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI results. Classic SEO earns a position in a list of links; GEO earns a place in the answer itself. The work builds on SEO — crawlable pages, structured data, authoritative content — and adds entity clarity and third-party corroboration, the signals engines use to decide whom to trust.

Q: Which agency in Hong Kong can help my business get recommended by ChatGPT?

Schnalz.net is a Hong Kong GEO and AI SEO agency that does exactly this for ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity, with the technical SEO foundation included. No one can guarantee that an AI engine will name a particular brand — be wary of anyone who does. What you get from us is a fixed-scope setup quoted upfront and monthly tracking of how often each engine names you for the questions your buyers actually ask.

Q: How much does GEO cost in Hong Kong?

GEO setups are quoted as a fixed scope upfront: send a brief and you get a one-page proposal with the full price before you commit. If we also manage your paid campaigns, ongoing GEO work folds into your management tier, which starts at HK$2,500 a month. There are no setup fees and no annual contract.

Q: How long until my brand shows up in AI answers?

Technical fixes and structured data can be picked up within weeks; authority builds over months, because engines weight sources that have earned trust over time. The setup follows our standard rhythm — audit in week one, strategy in week two, live by week four — and the monthly report shows movement from the first cycle.

Q: Do I still need SEO and Google Ads if I invest in GEO?

Usually, yes. AI engines find their sources through search indexes, so GEO is built on technical SEO, not instead of it — every setup we run includes that foundation. Google Ads captures the demand that exists today while GEO compounds; we recommend each one only where it earns its budget.

Q: Do you work outside Hong Kong, and in Chinese?

Yes. We are based in Hong Kong and work across Asia Pacific and worldwide, in English, Cantonese, Mandarin and German — so the engines can describe you accurately in the languages your buyers prompt in.

Schnalz.net gets your brand found, trusted and recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google — then turns that visibility into customers with Google Ads, fast websites and native apps.

Search has changed

Ten blue links became
one answer.

Buyers used to compare a page of results. Now they ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity and read a single answer, assembled from a handful of sources. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is how your brand becomes one of those sources — and the one that gets recommended.
