FAQ
GEO FAQ
How long before we see results from GEO?
Starbox GEO re-tests every 30 days using the same fixed question set, tracking changes in your AI visibility index and metrics each round. The exact timeline depends on industry competition and existing content foundations; our consultants provide an estimate after the initial audit.
If it is fully automated, what does our team need to do?
Just review. Audits, topic planning, writing, image generation, publishing, and re-testing all run automatically on schedule. Every draft enters a pending review queue where you can approve, reject for a rewrite, or download it; drafts are approved automatically once the review window expires.
Can we use GEO if we only serve a single city?
Yes, as a local project. For local projects, author profiles include the city name across every version, ensuring that when users ask "city + question", AI connects the brand directly to that city.
We only have an official website and no overseas social media. Can we use the Global edition?
Yes, and that is where most Chinese businesses expanding overseas start. We begin with your official site's AI readability, structured data, and content assets, then gradually expand brand mentions across third-party platforms and industry media.
What is the difference between GEO China edition and GEO Global edition?
The China edition targets domestic AI engines such as Doubao, DeepSeek, Tencent Yuanbao, and Tongyi Qianwen, using Doubao web search for diagnostics. The Global edition targets overseas AI engines like ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, using Gemini plus Google search for diagnostics, with content written in the target market's language.
What do we need to provide for GEO?
Brand and product information, target audience, target markets, and key competitors. Starbox uses this to build your brand knowledge base, and all factual claims in generated content are drawn exclusively from this knowledge base.
What is GEO?
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of making your brand and content discoverable, trusted, and cited in AI engine answers. As more buyers ask AI directly "which one is best" and "how to choose," GEO determines whether your brand appears in those answers.
Who publishes the GEO content?
Brand voice content is published through the brand's own accounts. Third-party voice content provides an external perspective and is recommended for publishing via third-party accounts. The workspace supports review, downloading, copying, and publishing, and automatically syncs publishing records.
What is the AI Visibility Index?
A comprehensive metric that measures whether AI can "see" your brand when answering buyer queries. Based on a fixed set of prompts, the system checks prompt by prompt whether your brand is mentioned, where it ranks, which competitors replace it, and whether facts are accurate. It aggregates this into an overall score and compares each retest with the previous round.
What is the difference between GEO and traditional SEO?
SEO aims to rank webpages in search results; GEO aims to get your brand cited in AI-generated answers. Because AI synthesizes multiple sources to produce conclusions, GEO focuses on whether content can be parsed, trusted, and cited by AI, and whether verifiable brand mentions exist across third-party platforms.
What stages are included in the Starbox GEO automated loop?
Six stages: automated diagnostics, automated topic selection, automated drafting, automated image matching, automated publishing, and periodic automated retesting. Retest results drive the next round of topics, creating a continuous loop where your team only needs to review and approve.
How are Starbox GEO and Starbox Content Factory related?
They are two independent systems. Starbox GEO focuses specifically on AI search optimization, producing content tailored to diagnosed visibility gaps to get AI to recommend your brand. Starbox Content Factory focuses on digital and social media content to solve marketing content shortages. They can be used separately or together.
