Expertise has no bounded application
Operational, strategy and financial questions require distinct skills. A general background statement does not demonstrate experience in a specific industry or decision.
Business owners ask AI assistants who can solve a defined management problem. I review which consultants are recommended and whether their expertise, project approach and published results can be substantiated.

Consulting engagements have different subject matter and responsibilities. Buyers need a credible statement of what the adviser does and what will be delivered.
Operational, strategy and financial questions require distinct skills. A general background statement does not demonstrate experience in a specific industry or decision.
A diagnostic report, transformation roadmap and hands-on implementation are different engagements. They should not be bundled into an unsupported profit-growth promise.
A client's metrics or identity are not public simply because an adviser worked on the project. Permission and accurate attribution of responsibilities are needed.
These are example procurement questions for a future baseline, not recorded responses.
| Buyer question | Evidence to examine | GEO task |
|---|---|---|
| Who can redesign operations for a manufacturing company? | Industry constraints, diagnosis method, team roles and authorised examples | Explain operational advisory scope and implementation boundaries |
| Which independent expert can assess our business model? | Named expert, analysis method, deliverables and independence terms | Make attributable personal expertise visible |
| Who can conduct a management review for a retail chain? | Assessment criteria, site coverage, data access and report structure | Separate review, strategy and implementation services |
| How does a strategy adviser differ from an implementation partner? | Responsibilities, phases, acceptance criteria and client contribution | Publish specific engagement terms rather than broad outcomes |
ISO 20700:2017 provides guidance on management-consulting service delivery; it is not universal compulsory certification or proof of an individual adviser's success. Official business registries can help verify company identity, while publishing client information needs a proper basis.
This is GAEO's proposed consulting-sector GEO method, not a claim of completed client GEO results.
I start from business decision-maker questions and evaluate the evidence that would make a recommendation credible.
Separate diagnosis, strategy, expert opinion and implementation requests by company size and industry.
Review biographies, methods, permissioned projects and each participant's actual role.
Prepare briefs for distinct engagements, expert profiles, methodology articles and verifiable case descriptions.
Compare a fixed prompt matrix and flag unsupported service or outcome claims in AI answers.
Three published monthly plans use the same GAEO prices across sectors. Final scope follows the baseline and project requirements.
I lead the strategy; your team implements website and content specifications.
I study your product, create the content and organize publication.
Contractual BMR targets: baseline +5 / +10 / +15 percentage points in months 1 / 2 / 3.
Start with a free mini-audit or a full GEO audit. A monthly plan includes 50 prompts and 5 AI platforms; broader scope is calculated separately.
Permissioned cases are useful, but detailed methods and authored evidence can also help. Never invent a client or use private information without an appropriate basis.
No. ISO 20700:2017 is guidance for management consultancy services, not a universal compulsory credential.
Use a consistent professional biography, relevant authored work, bounded areas of competence and independently checkable references.
No. AI recommendation measures and financial outcomes are different metrics with different attribution requirements.
GAEO's published plans apply. Scope depends on the number of experts, specialisms, markets and baseline prompts.
