Frequently asked questions
Straight answers on SEO, GEO, LinkedIn, pricing and how we work. For anything else, book a call.
The basics
How does GEO differ from SEO?
SEO gets you ranked on Google. GEO gets your brand named when a buyer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity which tool to buy.
The technical side overlaps a lot. Schema and page structure matter for both.
The off-site side is where it gets interesting. AI engines care a lot about what other people say about you. Listicles and Reddit threads carry far more weight than most marketers expect.
How do SEO and GEO work together?
Closely. You can't do GEO well without SEO, and I'd be skeptical of anyone who tells you otherwise.
Google AI Overviews pull from pages that already rank. ChatGPT Search pulls from Bing's index. So if your SEO is weak, AI has nothing of yours to cite.
The good news: SEO done well gets you most of the way there. Many of our clients rank #1 on Google and in AI Overviews for the same terms.
Why does Bing matter for AI search visibility?
Your buyers probably don't use Bing. But ChatGPT does.
ChatGPT Search runs on Bing's index. If Bing can't find your pages, ChatGPT has a hard time citing you.
Most B2B sites have never opened Bing Webmaster Tools. It's one of the easiest wins in AI search, and we fix it during the technical audit.
What is an AI citation?
A citation is when an AI engine mentions your brand or links to your site in its answer.
Position matters. Being the first vendor ChatGPT recommends is worth far more than a small link at the bottom. So we track whether you appear and where you land.
How does LinkedIn support a B2B content strategy?
People buy from people, especially in B2B, where one deal can be worth six figures.
When your founder shares useful takes every weekday, buyers start to feel like they know them. By the time your sales team reaches out, the lead is already warm.
LinkedIn helps your SEO too. More people search your brand by name, and AI engines see your name more often. The two channels feed each other.
What role does paid media play in the growth strategy?
SEO and LinkedIn are long games. They usually take 60 to 90 days before they show up in your pipeline.
Paid ads are faster. You can get demos on the calendar within weeks.
I think of PPC as a bridge. It keeps leads coming while organic warms up, and you can shift budget once organic starts to pull its weight.
Our methodology
What is Perceptric's approach to SEO and content?
Two principles.
We pick keywords by revenue potential. We go after searches that only buyers close to a decision would type. A keyword that brings 10,000 visitors and zero demos is of little use.
We learn your product like an in-house team would. We interview your team, read your docs, and study your sales call transcripts. That's how the content ends up sounding like your best sales rep wrote it.
How does Perceptric measure AI search visibility?
We run the prompts your buyers would type into ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Then we log where you show up and where competitors beat you.
You see the movement in your monthly report. Growth and Authority clients also get a Loom video every two weeks that walks through what we shipped and what changed.
How does the LinkedIn Growth Partner service work?
You talk, we write.
Every two weeks, we hop on a short call and ask you questions. Your stories and opinions are the raw material. Then we turn them into posts that sound like you.
Before any of that, we build a voice guide and content pillars, so your posts never read like generic LinkedIn content.
We post every weekday for at least 60 days, with unlimited revisions. Your only job is to show up for the calls.
What can I expect from the discovery process?
It's a 30-minute call. I'll ask about your product and your growth goals.
By the end, you'll know which channel makes the most sense to start with and what the first 90 days could look like.
If I don't think we're a good fit, I'll tell you.
Pricing and engagement
What are Perceptric's pricing and plans?
All our prices are public. I don't believe you should need three calls to get a number.
| Service | Plan | Price |
|---|---|---|
| SEO & GEO Growth Partner | Starter | $4,000 / month |
| SEO & GEO Growth Partner | Growth | $8,000 / month |
| SEO & GEO Growth Partner | Authority | $10,000+ / month |
| LinkedIn Growth Partner | Presence | $2,500 / month per profile |
| LinkedIn Growth Partner | Momentum | $3,000 / month per profile |
| LinkedIn Growth Partner | Authority | $5,000 / month per profile |
| PPC Growth Partner | Managed PPC | $1,000 / month + 10% of ad spend |
Prices reflect a 12-month term. A 6-month term adds 5%, and a 3-month term adds 10%. See what each plan includes on the pricing page.
What is included in each Perceptric plan?
Starter gets you 5 product-led articles a month, around 10,000 words in total. Each one is built to rank for about 20 keywords. Growth doubles that and adds BOFU pages that our designer and developer build live on your site.
We could charge less if we cut the research and let AI write everything. But that kind of content rarely ranks, and it almost never gets cited.
What is the minimum engagement period?
Most new clients start with a 90-day trial. You can cancel anytime with one day's notice.
I'd rather keep clients because the results are good. Long lock-ins are a poor way to build trust.
What makes Perceptric a reliable long-term partner?
Many agencies earned a bad reputation with hidden pricing and long lock-ins. We do it differently: our prices are on the site, and you can leave the trial with one day's notice.
Then there are the results. Katalon grew ARR 4x with SEO and GEO, and ScoutQA grew users by 120%. Read both stories on our case studies page.
Results and timing
When should I expect to see results?
A typical timeline looks like this:
- 30 to 45 days: impressions climb and rankings start to move
- 90 to 120 days: organic leads show up in your pipeline
- LinkedIn: your visibility jumps within the first 60 days
- PPC: demos can start within weeks of launch
Be wary of anyone who promises page-one rankings next week.
Does Perceptric guarantee rankings or AI citations?
No. Any agency that guarantees rankings is overpromising. Google doesn't take orders from anyone, and neither does OpenAI.
What I can promise is the work. You get a full content strategy by week 4, and content ships on schedule every month after that.
Rankings follow the work. Katalon has held top spots for 3+ years.
How does Perceptric measure performance?
Pipeline, first and foremost. Traffic is useful, but it doesn't pay your bills.
We track MQLs, SQLs, CAC, LTV, and conversion rates across your funnel. We also connect GA4 and Search Console to your CRM, so you can trace each article from first visit to booked call.
If content isn't bringing in pipeline, we change the plan.
What happens if we decide to end the engagement?
During the trial, one day's notice is all it takes. After that, your contract terms apply.
Everything we built for you stays yours: articles, landing pages, graphics, and tracking.
About Perceptric
Who leads Perceptric?
I do. I'm Vincent Nguyen.
Before Perceptric, I worked in-house at Katalon, where organic traffic grew 300% and SEO drove 80%+ of ARR growth.
Today I own the strategy on every account, with a dedicated team of writers and designers who do the heavy lifting with me.
How does Perceptric ensure continuity across client accounts?
Nothing depends on one person.
Every brief and content calendar lives in ClickUp and Google Sheets, so no knowledge is stuck in anyone's head. A dedicated team works on your account, and you own everything we make.
How does Perceptric differ from larger agencies?
Large agencies often pitch you with their senior people, then hand your account to someone who started last month.
At Perceptric, the person who builds your strategy stays on it.
We also run SEO, GEO, LinkedIn, and paid ads in one place. Your LinkedIn posts drive branded searches, and your articles give your ads a better place to land.
What does the name Perceptric represent?
It combines "perception" and "metric."
Every B2B deal starts with how buyers see you. Our job is to shape that perception, then prove it worked with real numbers.
