No developer needed. No coding. No API keys.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of making your business show up when AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity answer questions about your industry.
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is optimizing your content so it gets pulled into featured snippets and direct answers on Google.
Together, they determine whether AI recommends you or your competitor when someone asks: "What's the best [plumber / accountant / gym] near me?"
The businesses that win the next 5 years are not the ones with the most ads. They're the ones AI systems trust and cite.
This repo is part of Civados's effort to make that accessible to every local business owner.
