GEO Second Opinion: an independent read on what your AEO agency actually does

What we check

• The plan itself, line by line: which of its moves are a real lever under the rules the providers publish today — and which only look good on an invoice.
• Access: whether the crawlers that answers are built from — OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Googlebot — are allowed to read your pages at all. That is the door; shut, nothing behind it matters.
• The substance of your pages: whether the answer comes first, whether the structure is quotable, and whether your prices and facts sit in machine-readable form where an engine will find them.
• The measurement: our own run on the questions your buyers actually ask, in ChatGPT and Gemini — including the names that come up instead of yours.
• The invoice: which lines of your retainer pay for work that measurably moves nothing in your visibility.

What you get

• A two-to-three-page verdict written in your language, not in the trade’s.
• A finding against every move in your agency’s plan: holds, does not hold, missing — each with its evidence.
• The raw data behind our run: question, engine, answer, and who got named.
• The list of what we would do first in your position — including if you stay with the agency you have.

What one line of the verdict looks like

Move “maintain an llms.txt” → no lever, with the evidence → instead: open the door to the answer crawlers in robots.txt.

A sample of the format, not a client result. Your lines come out of your plan and your run.

How it runs

1. You request the invoice and send whatever you have: your agency’s plan or report, the contract, or simply last month’s bill.
2. We review and measure. Nothing on your website has to change, and we speak to no one but you.
3. Five working days later the verdict is with you. What you do with it is yours to decide.

What this is not

This is not a campaign against your agency. We name no names, we contact no one, and in some reviews the verdict is simply: the plan holds, stay with them. It is also not our own visibility check — that one reads your website, this one reads the work somebody is already selling on it.

Your own check stays free: free AI-visibility check.

What we measure such findings against is published: what we don’t sell you.

The short version

Do I have to end my contract to order this?

No. The review is a one-off and runs without your agency — they hear about it only if you tell them.

What if it turns out everything is fine?

Then that is what the verdict says, with the reasoning. We are not selling you a switch, we are selling you a read — and a confirmed agency is as useful an answer as a disproved one.

Why €490 and not a free discovery call?

Because there is real work in it: a measurement run, your plan checked against the providers’ published rules, and a written verdict. A price without a call is more honest than a call without a price.

And if I want to work with you afterwards?

Then we talk about it. You do not have to: the verdict is written so your current agency can act on it just as well. Hiring us is not part of this offer.
