How to use this tool
1
Enter your site baseline
Monthly visits and value per visit are the most important inputs. If you don’t know value per visit, use monthly revenue ÷ monthly organic visits as a rough proxy.
2
Define 2–3 investment scenarios
Each scenario has a monthly budget, an expected citation rate improvement per month, and a time-to-impact lag. The lag accounts for AI crawl cycles — GEO changes typically take 6–10 weeks to show in citation rate.
3
Compare the projected outcomes
The tool projects citation rate growth and revenue value over your chosen horizon. Each scenario shows total investment, total value generated, and 12-month ROI.
4
Use the output to make a budget decision
The comparison table highlights the best ROI scenario. Use this to justify GEO investment to clients, leadership, or yourself — with projections anchored to your actual traffic and revenue data.
