GEO · Generative Engine Optimization

Make AI recommend your business.

Your customers don't search any more; they ask. Search handed you ten options — AI hands you one answer, and that answer already names someone in your industry. We make sure it's you.

Founding case, measured · Mention verified August 2026

From invisible to recommended in six weeks

Laboratorio del Dolor, a chronic-pain clinic in Ibagué, Colombia, started at a Visibility Index of 51/100. Six weeks later it sits at 89. In August 2026 we put a real question to Gemini in Spanish — which is the best clinic for treating pain in Ibagué — and the model opened its answer with Laboratorio del Dolor, ahead of every hospital and every specialist in the city. Nobody paid for that position. There is no bidding and no ad slot inside an AI answer: the clinic is there because its information is structured so a model can read it, understand it and trust it.

How to read this: brand mention verified by screenshot. Model answers vary by user, location and session — they are not reproducible, and no provider can guarantee them. We guarantee our work, not what an AI decides to say.

Disclosure: José Felipe Bello, founder of Bello GEO, is CTO of this clinic. We tested GEO at home first and we say so up front — ask us for the reference on WhatsApp and confirm it with the clinic directly.

Services & pricing

A path, not a catalog

Three core services take a business from invisible to recommended. The rest of the 20-service portfolio — technical and industry-specific — is there when you need it.

Visibility diagnostic

We measure your current Índice de Visibilidad Bello GEO across eight dimensions and tell you what is holding your visibility back in AI engines. You get the number and the main findings.

Free

3 business days · no commitment · hiring us is not a condition

GEO maintenance

One update to your site can block AI crawlers and erase the implementation. Each month we review and execute what needs doing — articles, markup, new platform guidelines — without counting hours at you.

USD $100/mo

flat rate, not hourly · no lock-in

Transparent pricing

One rate. A written ceiling. No lock-in.

The free diagnostic is a snapshot of where you stand. The deep audit is a different thing: it is the first phase of the real work, and its hours sit inside the implementation.

Bello GEO rate
USD$45/hour

One rate for all of the work. No scaling by company size, no premium tier for the same deliverables.

SEO agency market
USD$100–150/hour

The most common band in the market. Global average $111/hour; US consultants average $144.68/hour.

Sources: Clutch — 65,550 SEO companies, most frequent rate $100–149/hour · Ahrefs — 439 providers, 2026, average $111/hour · Credo — US consultants, $144.68/hour.

You get a written estimate before any work starts, and that number is the ceiling of what you pay. If your case needs ten hours, you pay ten. If it needs twenty-five, you pay twenty-five.

Why we cost less

We charge less because we take less time

We design our own tooling. It compresses into days the work an agency spends weeks on — which is what lets us charge an affordable rate at the same quality of result. We don't charge less for doing less: we charge less because we finish sooner.

Two ways to pay, only two

Hourly for the build, flat for the upkeep

Implementation is billed by the hour, with the written estimate as the ceiling. Maintenance is a flat monthly fee. GEO retainers on the market start at USD $3,000 a month and none of them can guarantee what a model will answer. We guarantee our work, not the AI's answer.

Why Bello GEO?

Specialists, not generalists

Bilingual GEO specialists

We don't just do SEO. We specialize in Generative Engine Optimization — making AI recommend your business. We're the first bilingual GEO agency specialized in Latin America.

Natively bilingual

We think in both Spanish and English. For the Hispanic market in the US, that means dual-language optimization monolingual agencies can't match — nothing here is translated after the fact.

Our own tooling, so it's faster

We design the tools we work with. That compresses into days the work an agency spends weeks on: typical delivery is 1–2 weeks against a 3–5 week agency sprint. In our founding case study the Visibility Index rose from 51 to 89 in six weeks.

One rate, with a ceiling

USD $45 an hour for all of the work, with no scaling by company size. You get a written estimate before we start and that number is the ceiling of what you pay. Maintenance is a flat USD $100 a month. No lock-in contracts, and every deliverable stays on your site.

Frequently asked questions

What everyone asks

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes your business to be cited and recommended by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Claude. SEO wins you a position in a list of ten blue links; GEO puts you inside the single answer the model gives. Bello GEO is the first bilingual GEO agency specialized in Latin America, and the visibility diagnostic is free.

Three things, and only three. The visibility diagnostic is free, takes 3 business days, carries no commitment and does not require you to hire us. The deep audit and implementation are billed at USD $45 per hour — one rate for all of the work, with no scaling by company size — and you receive a written estimate before we start that is the ceiling of what you pay. Maintenance is USD $100 per month, a flat rate rather than hourly, with no lock-in. For comparison: the most common SEO agency rate is USD $100–150 per hour (Clutch, Ahrefs, Credo), and existing GEO retainers start around USD $3,000 a month.

Because we take less time, not because we do less. We design our own tooling, and it compresses into days the work an agency spends weeks on — typical delivery is 1–2 weeks against a 3–5 week agency sprint. That is what lets us charge an affordable rate at the same quality of result. It is a difference in speed, not a discount on scope.

Technical foundations — schema, llms.txt, robots.txt, crawler access — deploy in days. Citations are slower, and we won't pretend otherwise: first citations typically appear between month 2 and month 3, and consolidate between month 4 and month 6. Anyone promising results in a week isn't measuring anything. In our founding case study the Visibility Index rose from 51 to 89 over six weeks; what a model actually answers is not guaranteed by us or by anyone else.

Yes. GEO complements SEO, it doesn't replace it, and Bello GEO offers both. If you already have SEO in place, better: GEO is built on those foundations. In 2026 a business needs to be visible in traditional search and inside AI answers.

No. GEO doesn't compete with your SEO or your paid media — it is built on top of them. We identify the specific AI-visibility gaps and coordinate with your current team so nothing breaks. If anything, an agency already doing solid SEO makes our job faster.

Then the hours scale down with it. That is exactly the point of charging for estimated time instead of a fixed package: you never end up financing somebody else's website. You get the same written estimate, the same ceiling, and a smaller number at the bottom of it.

Yes. We work with Hispanic-owned businesses across Texas (Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin) and Florida (Miami, Orlando, Tampa). Our team is natively bilingual and optimizes for the English and Spanish markets at the same time. The visibility diagnostic is free there too.

No fine print

What you can hold us to

Nobody can honestly guarantee what an AI model will answer. Be wary of anyone who promises it. Here is what you can demand from us, in writing.

01 · Method

A public, auditable methodology

Check everything we do against what we said we would do — or against a third party. The full Visibility Index formula is published.

02 · Measurement

A number before and a number after

The Index is measured at the start and again at the close. No room left for interpretation about whether it worked.

03 · Budget

A written estimate before we start

You get the hours and their breakdown before any work begins. That number is the ceiling of what you pay.

04 · Ownership

Deliverables that stay on your site

Schema, content, technical files and configuration. They are already yours, whether or not you keep working with us.

05 · Commitment

Zero lock-in contracts

Nothing renews on its own. If the numbers don't convince you, you cancel.

06 · Timing

Honesty about how long it takes

First citations between month 2 and month 3; they consolidate between month 4 and month 6. Anyone promising a week isn't measuring anything.

What nobody guarantees: what a model will answer. Answers vary by user, location and session. We guarantee our work — the methodology, the measurement, the estimate and the deliverables — not the AI's response.

Results and pipeline

Numbers, not promises — and every one of them labelled

We publish what has been delivered and what is still a proposal, and we never let the two look alike.

Amalia Jeans

Fashion / denim · Chile · Proposal delivered, not yet started

Measured Index 61. Under the scope we proposed, we project 87 within 30 days: a two-phase build of technical and editorial infrastructure, plus quality control and team training so the work survives staff turnover. The 87 is a projection, not a guarantee, and not a delivered result.

Clínica Sharon Medical Group

Medical services · Diagnostic delivered

Site analysis with specific findings on why AI engines were not citing the clinic, a prioritized plan, and technical files ready to deploy. No implementation has run yet, so there is no before-and-after number to show.

Envía

Logistics and courier · Colombia · Corporate proposal under evaluation

Generative-engine visibility by Bello GEO, alongside PQR, contact-centre and quality automation by ProvenForge, our sister applied-AI practice. Under evaluation — no work commissioned yet.

Measured index — the site's real measurement at the moment of the diagnostic, always flagged as such.
Projection — an estimate under the scope we proposed. Never presented as a delivered result.
What nobody guarantees — what an AI model will answer. Be wary of anyone who promises it.
