What does a GEO service in Vancouver actually measure?
About 22 questions a buyer would type — "best bakery in Richmond", "列治文哪里买卤味" — with your brand name left out, each asked twice to every assistant. The result is how often you are named, how often your own site is cited, and who gets named instead.
Leaving the name out is the whole point: a question that contains your name only tests whether the assistant can read your site. The full method is public at /method.
What is the work, after the measurement?
Three blocks, in this order: your own site (structured data, answer-first pages, crawler access); your Google Business Profile and listings (one name, address and phone everywhere); and the places the assistants already read but you are not on yet — directories, best-of lists, local media, and for Chinese-speaking customers, Xiaohongshu and Chinese directories.
