B2B SEO Questions, Straight Answers
What we do, how long it takes, what it costs, and how we measure it.
The service itself
What does RAGSEO actually do for a B2B or manufacturing site?
We run SEO, GEO (generative engine optimization) and website development. SEO covers keyword research and strategy, website diagnosis and optimization, competitor website analysis, content creation from a RAG knowledge base, off-page work and monthly reporting. GEO covers project planning, knowledge base collation, EEAT-compliant articles, technical and schema optimization, and distribution across 20+ authoritative global platforms plus your own site. We work with manufacturers, exporters and industrial suppliers.
Is GEO the same as SEO, or a separate service?
Separate but related. SEO targets rankings and organic traffic in Google, tracked in Search Console and Analytics. GEO targets citations inside ChatGPT search answers, monitored with screenshots in ChatGPT search mode while not logged in. One honesty boundary matters here: ChatGPT answers either from live web search, which GEO can influence, or from knowledge stored in the model without web access, which cannot currently be optimized. Optimizing for ChatGPT tends to help visibility in Gemini and Grok too because they reference public web content, but each model has its own mechanism and we evaluate only against ChatGPT search results.
Do you only work with manufacturers and exporters?
Manufacturing and export is our main focus, and it shows in the case work. We have run programs for lifting equipment, jewelry, mining equipment, sanitation equipment, professional audio-visual, laser beauty equipment, construction machinery, outdoor power equipment and auto parts businesses, plus an intelligent-marketing solution integrator and a premium e-cigarette manufacturer. If your buyers search in more than one language, we build multilingual sites and support English, Japanese, Russian and other common languages.
Who actually does the work?
A technical and marketing team of 500+ people, including a content team of 300+ writers and a GEO team of 100+ technical specialists, GEO experts and writers. Core SEO experts carry 10+ years of experience, and we have 8 years of SEO experience as a company. Leadership includes Zhang Zhongyi, Founder and CEO, with Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Mathematics from the University of Oxford, plus co-founders Xu Xu and Jia Dingqiang and CTO Yuan Jianke. AI-assisted drafts are reviewed by professional editors before anything goes live.
Process and timeline
What does the first month look like?
We start with SEO strategy: competitor analysis, keyword and topic research, and a website audit. Then we build the RAG knowledge base from your products, cases and materials. Content creation follows, drafted with the RAG system, professionally reviewed and published only after your approval. On-page optimization comes next, then off-page work, then results tracking and reporting. You see the plan before anything is published, and nothing goes out without your sign-off.
How long until we see results?
Significant improvements in rankings and organic traffic can usually be observed within 3 to 6 months. GEO runs on its own clock: citations are monitored regularly with screenshots in ChatGPT search mode, not logged in, and if the 3-month target is not met, a proportional refund applies. Monitoring continues after the target is reached. One caveat worth stating plainly: published content may also enter future models' training data over time, which is a long-term effect, not a lever we can pull on demand.
How fast can you launch a new website?
Marketing-driven WordPress websites launch within 35 working days. You get a homepage mockup first, then a full responsive site built to W3C standards and SEO best practices. We upload up to 30 product entries for testing, run multi-device testing, install SSL and set up the domain. After launch we hand over backend training and credentials securely. The code is open-source and independent, and you fully own it, so you can manage the site without us after the partnership ends.
Can you work with our existing site instead of rebuilding it?
Yes. Website diagnosis and optimization covers site speed with LCP at or under 2.5 seconds, internal links, title and meta tags, image ALT text and site architecture. We fix what is holding the current site back rather than defaulting to a rebuild. If a rebuild does make sense, we say so and quote it separately. Multilingual websites are supported, and Bing SEO is available as an add-on at $750 per year as of September 2026.

A multilingual add-on is $2,000 for 10 additional minor languages.
Are there guarantees, and can we leave?
Each plan carries a first-page ranking guarantee for a set number of keywords: Standard 50, Enterprise 80, Flagship 120, Premium 150. Performance is tracked in Google Search Console and Google Analytics, and you get monthly reports. There is no lock-in. For GEO, if the 3-month target is not met, a proportional refund applies. We do not promise rankings or citations beyond the plan wording, and we cannot promise anything about answers that models generate from stored memory rather than live web search.
Measurement and reporting
How do you report results?
Monthly SEO reports use Google Search Console data plus strategy adjustment, so you see clicks, impressions, CTR and average position for your site rather than a dashboard we built ourselves. GEO citations are monitored regularly with screenshots in ChatGPT search mode, not logged in, and monitoring continues after the target is reached. We also reply within 24 hours if you have questions between reports. You keep access to your own Search Console and Analytics accounts throughout.
What do real results look like?
A RAGSEO client program (client anonymized) in sanitation equipment reported 191,000 total clicks and 9,270,000 impressions over the past 12 months, with 2.1% average CTR and average position 17.9. Another RAGSEO client program (client anonymized) in metals and mining information reported 474,000 clicks and 16,500,000 impressions over the past 12 months, with 2.9% CTR and average ranking 12.3. Figures come from the client's own Search Console data, and we quote them as a complete group.
How does GEO get measured, given the honesty boundary?
We monitor ChatGPT search mode with screenshots while not logged in, on the queries defined in the GEO project plan. We evaluate only against ChatGPT search results, not Gemini or Grok, even though optimizing for ChatGPT tends to help visibility in those engines because they reference public web content. Answers pulled from live web search can be influenced; answers generated from knowledge stored in the model without web access cannot currently be optimized. We say that up front rather than after the fact.
Do you have testimonials or references we can read?
Yes. Mira Peterson, SMM Manager, wrote: "I'm really satisfied with the pricing, communication, and how quickly things get done. I was in urgent need of SEO content for my website, and the team at RAGSEO did an excellent job with it! I'm looking forward to working with them again in the future." Ronald Dunkan, CEO, wrote that Jim broke down why SEO matters for his business and its online visibility, and that results started to show. Dina Olson, General Manager, wrote that her site now appears on Google's first page and sales have gone up.
