SEO & GEO FAQ
What is the difference between SEO and GEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) focuses on ranking in traditional search engines like Google. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) focuses on being cited or recommended by AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews. EDG builds strategies that address both.
Can you do local SEO for a therapy or mental health practice in New York City?
Yes. We optimize your Google Business Profile, local citations, and on-page content for borough- and neighborhood-specific mental health searches — including terms like ‘therapist in the Upper West Side,’ ‘psychologist in Brooklyn,’ and ‘psychiatrist accepting new patients in Manhattan.’
Can you do SEO for a wealth management firm or RIA?
Yes. We build search authority for financial services firms around terms like ‘wealth management firm New York,’ ‘fee-only financial advisor,’ ‘RIA for high-net-worth individuals,’ and ‘trust company NYC’ — within the bounds of SEC marketing rules.
How long does it take to see results from SEO?
Traditional SEO typically shows meaningful improvement within 3–6 months. GEO results can appear faster for specific queries once your content is well-structured and indexed.
Do I need SEO if I’m already on social media?
Yes. Social media and search serve different purposes. SEO and GEO get you in front of people who are actively searching for a provider or firm like yours — often at the exact moment they’re ready to book or reach out.
