FAQ

Who is High Desert AI Search?

High Desert AI Search is a consultancy based in Central Oregon, owned and operated by Andrew Alberts. With over 15 years working for major tech companies as a content strategist and knowledge management architect, Andrew focuses on helping brands and local businesses stand out where customers look for answers.

What service does High Desert AI Search offer?

We sell Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) to improve how a business shows up in AI responses. AEO helps your business get cited accurately and GEO helps AI pick your business as a recommendation.

What does working with High Desert AI Search look like?

We start by measuring how AI answers talk about your business today, then agree on the few changes most likely to improve citation and recommendation. Together we update profiles, key pages, and FAQs before asking the same customer queries again so you can see what moved.

What is outside the scope of the work?

We do not run advertising or promotions, manage social media, or speak publicly for your brand. We also do not take on general marketing retainers, only AEO and GEO work with a clear finish line.

How long does the complete process take?

There is no standard number of weeks. Pace follows the scope of the work: what we find in the audit and what we change together.

How much does this service cost?

We price each engagement before work starts, based on the scope of the work. Some businesses prefer a one-time pass to increase their visibility, while others want later rechecks to maintain that visibility as AI answers and customer queries shift.

Where does High Desert AI Search operate?

We operate out of Bend, Oregon and can meet in person or by video. While our primary service area is Deschutes County, we work throughout Central Oregon and with businesses beyond the High Desert region.

Which AI engines do you check?

We run visibility checks across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

Does High Desert AI Search share client results?

A client list and their results will be shared as our business grows. We do not invent testimonials.
