One retainer. One position: recommended when your buyers ask AI.
From CHF 2,800 per month. No setup. Cancel monthly. We do not sell a report portfolio, but a position: to be recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews when your buyers ask.
The Carigiet GEO monthly retainer covers, for CHF 2,800 per month: 50 buyer questions measured daily across six AI assistants; up to 10 content pieces per month; source and directory work; technical specifications; a weekly 30-minute call. No setup, cancel monthly, every result belongs to the client. Each additional service area costs CHF 1,500 per month.
Book a 15-minute callWho it is for
For Swiss B2B companies with 11 to 500 employees whose buyers ask AI assistants for providers: fiduciary services, IT service providers, consulting, industry. Not for consumer brands and online shops.
Whether your market is already being decided inside AI answers is shown by the Swiss AI Recommendation Index.
What the retainer includes
A monthly retainer covers your key service area, week after week, with no hourly billing.
50 buyer questions, measured daily
Daily across 6 AI assistants, against major competitors. 300 runs per day, evaluated as the recommendation rate: the share of answers in which your company is recommended as an option.
Content
Up to 10 content pieces per month, including a weekly blog. AI-produced, quality-assured personally by the lead partner, and approved by you.
Sources & Directories
Corrections and entries precisely where the AI assistants reference their answers: directories, association lists, and knowledge sources.
Technical blockers
We identify issues, specify them as ready-to-implement tickets, and verify them after implementation. The implementation itself is handled by your web agency or internal IT department.
Weekly Call
30 minutes: what is blocking us, what information we need, what was done, what has changed. The place where decisions are made.
AI reputation protection
Weekly checks of what AI systems claim about your company. We trace false statements to their source, correct them there and re-measure.
What the protection covers and what we deliberately refuse: AI reputation protection.

Knowledge Base and Buyer Questions
We build your company's structured knowledge base and generate 50 buyer questions per service area. You review both.
- Step 03
Go live
Monitoring establishes your baseline. Content production commences on a weekly schedule, and the initial source recommendations will be presented during the call.

How you see the progress
Not a one-off report, but an ongoing retainer. We manage your visibility in AI assistants entirely: strategy, content, implementation.
Baseline in 7 days
Buyer questions, AI assistants, recommendations, sources, and inaccuracies are documented within 7 days of receiving access and the onboarding call. You know exactly where you stand today.
After 30 days: your baseline dossier
Knowledge base, 50 buyer questions, recommendation rate per AI assistant, source map, action plan. It belongs to you, even if you cancel afterwards.
Weekly comparison
We ask the same buyer questions repeatedly and show whether your company is recommended more often, described more accurately, and backed by better citations.
Sources, content, corrections
Every week at least one prioritized improvement goes live: source, profile, content, technical basis, or correction.
The day-90 decision
We assess progress against the baseline. If the metrics indicate no meaningful progress, we discuss this transparently rather than artificially extending the retainer.
Quarterly report
Every quarter you receive a report of plan versus delivered. The running status lives in the shared task list, no dashboard login required.
Lead partner
Analysis, prioritization and quality assurance sit with the lead partner: Matthias Carigiet, publisher of the Swiss AI Recommendation Index. Research, directories and source work are handled by the team to his specifications.
Your price, with no hidden terms.
An ongoing retainer instead of project-based work. We maintain your visibility and expand it week by week.
Pricing logic: Service areas instead of packages
A business area is a service group with its own set of competitors and specific buyer questions. The monthly retainer covers your primary area. Each additional area costs CHF 1,500 per month and can be added or canceled individually. What constitutes an area is defined by data, not by us.

Book a consultationThe Transparent Timeline
Anyone who promises you a guaranteed position within 30 or 90 days is selling a fairytale; this is why we do not lock you into a contract. The first three months are the setup phase: establishing the knowledge base, setting the baseline, and publishing content weekly. First reliable movement typically shows between day 60 and day 90; durable authority builds over 3 to 6 months for established brands and over 6 to 12 months or longer for young domains.
These months are not a timer. A domain first has to gather enough independent signals before the systems even look at it: visits, mentions, links from pages with real readers. Reach shortens exactly that phase. That is why we also prepare content for distribution: pieces for trade press and associations within the cooperation budget, LinkedIn posts for your own profile. Channels and ad budget stay with you.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Retainer
The terms and conditions that others hide in the fine print.
Book a 15-minute callWhen is an activity classified as a distinct business segment?
Three onboarding tests using real measurement data: requires unique buyer questions (under 20 percent overlap), a custom competitor set, and proprietary content. Two out of three positive results are required to establish a dedicated section. When in doubt, prefer fewer sections.
How quickly can we terminate?
Every month, subject to a 30-day notice period to the end of the following month. No minimum contract term, no setup fee. Onboarding is covered within the first month. In the event of termination, you retain ownership of everything: content, specifications, question catalogue, and all entries.
How much internal effort is required on our part?
A weekly 30-minute call: what is blocking us, what information we need from you, what was done, what has changed. Everything else runs through the shared task list. This is supplemented by technical input and approvals from your team, while the technical implementation is handled by your web agency or IT department.
And if we have neither a web agency nor internal IT?
Then we take on the implementation as website operations: CHF 1,200 per month, only alongside a running retainer, migration without a setup fee, cancellable monthly like the retainer.
Is there a dashboard or reporting?
No dashboard login. The status lives in the shared task list and is discussed in the weekly call. On request we send a monthly progress overview; every quarter you receive a report of plan versus delivered.
What happens after 90 days?
We assess progress against the baseline. If the metrics indicate no meaningful progress, we discuss this transparently rather than artificially extending the retainer.
In which languages do you measure and write?
Buyer questions and content in German (Switzerland), English as a comparison; French and Italian on request.
What additional costs are incurred?
All prices exclude 8.1% VAT. Third-party costs for directory entries and memberships are paid by you directly, within the scope of the cooperation budget established during onboarding.
