## FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

- How much does AI consulting cost? Free initial consultation. AI Kickstart Workshop is fixed-price for teams of 5-15. Custom solutions scoped after discovery. VLAIO subsidies may reduce workshop costs by up to 30%.
- How long does a typical AI project take? Workshop: 2 half-day sessions. Action Plan: 2-4 weeks. Custom solutions: 4-12 weeks depending on complexity.
- Do I need technical knowledge? No. BEWAIZE translates complex AI into clear business language. Workshops designed for non-technical leaders.
- What size company do you work with? SMEs with 10-250 employees. Pragmatic, right-sized, budget-conscious solutions.
- Is my data safe with AI? Yes. All solutions are GDPR compliant and meet EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) standards. European hosting where possible.
- What happens in the free consultation? A relaxed 30-minute video call with a founder. Identify 2-3 immediate AI opportunities and outline a practical next step. No obligation.
- What is Agentic AI and how is it different from ChatGPT? Agentic AI systems autonomously plan and execute multi-step tasks across business systems. Unlike ChatGPT which answers one question at a time, agentic AI agents independently process invoices, qualify leads, generate reports, and manage customer communications — completing entire workflows with minimal human intervention.
- Can a small business benefit from Agentic AI? Yes. A single AI agent can handle email sorting, invoice processing, or lead follow-up that would take an employee hours each day. SMEs typically save EUR 15,000-28,000 per year per automated process (McKinsey Global Institute research: https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-insights/the-economic-potential-of-generative-ai-the-next-productivity-frontier).
- What is GEO and why does my website need it? GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes your website for AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Research from Georgia Tech and Princeton (https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.09735) shows GEO-optimized sites see 30-115% more visibility in AI-generated responses. BEWAIZE offers a GEO-first, SEO-supported audit with AI citability scoring, schema markup review, AI crawler access analysis, and platform-specific optimization.

## GEO AUDIT — AI SEARCH VISIBILITY

BEWAIZE offers a GEO-first, SEO-supported website audit — a comprehensive analysis of how visible your website is to AI-powered search engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot) while maintaining traditional SEO foundations.

What the audit covers:
- AI Citability Score (0-100): How likely AI systems are to quote and recommend your site
- AI Crawler Access Map: Which AI bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, GoogleOther) can reach your content
- Schema & Structured Data Review: Ensuring AI systems understand your business, services, and expertise
- Content Quality (E-E-A-T): Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness signals
- Platform-Specific Optimization: Readiness for Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Bing Copilot
- 30-Day Action Plan: Prioritized, week-by-week roadmap to improve AI visibility

Why GEO matters: Traditional SEO ranks you in search results. GEO ensures your business is cited when customers ask AI assistants questions like "Who can help my company with AI?" or "Best AI consultants in Belgium?" Research from Georgia Tech and Princeton shows GEO-optimized sites see 30-115% more visibility in AI-generated responses.
