        "text": "Start by auditing a small set of high‑value pages, then apply answer‑first writing and schema markup before you touch anything else. You don’t have to rebuild your whole site; focus GEO on the content that drives leads or revenue.\n\nMost teams get stuck trying to “do GEO everywhere” and never finish. A focused pilot lets you see impact quickly, then scale what works.\n\nKey factors:\n- Identify 10–20 priority pages (top traffic, conversions, or strategic topics).\n- Map the real questions those pages should answer and restructure around them.\n- Add FAQ sections and FAQ/Article/Organization schema.\n- Set a simple success metric (citations in AI tools, qualified traffic, or leads).\n\nIn practice, block 2–4 weeks to run a GEO sprint: audit, rewrite, add schema, then test prompts in major AI engines and tweak copy structure. After you see wins, roll the same playbook out to more content.\n\nThis phased approach keeps GEO manageable while still delivering meaningful results.",
