Frequently asked questions
Straight answers on how VersaSolve Consulting works , from AEO and GEO to VersaCare, pricing, and getting started.
Do you work with nonprofits?
Yes. Nonprofits and mission-driven organizations are the core of VersaSolve Consulting's client base, including community organizations, social enterprises, and higher-education programs. From brand identity to websites and AI-search visibility, the focus is on building a digital presence that earns trust and keeps working long after launch.
What areas does VersaSolve Consulting serve?
VersaSolve Consulting serves clients across Maine and Massachusetts, anchored in Cumberland County, Maine (Portland and Greater Portland) and Essex County, Massachusetts (the Lynn and Greater Boston area), where it has ongoing client work. Projects are handled remotely through video calls, email, and shared documents, with in-person meetings available in both states.
What is AEO and GEO, and how are they different from SEO?
SEO gets you ranked in Google's traditional search results. AEO, or Answer Engine Optimization, structures your content so it gets pulled into featured snippets and answer boxes. GEO, or Generative Engine Optimization, makes your business citable by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, increasingly where people start their research. VersaSolve builds all three into every site.
How do you get a business cited by ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity?
It takes two things working together: structured, machine-readable data on your own site (schema markup, clear entity information, and direct answers to real questions), plus corroborating signals off your site, like consistent business listings, reviews, and third-party mentions. AI assistants cite sources they can verify from more than one direction. Schema markup alone is not enough.
What's included in VersaCare?
VersaCare is VersaSolve Consulting’s monthly digital care retainer. The Premium tier covers hosting oversight, security and software updates, backups, and a monthly allowance of content edits and fixes. The Elite tier adds active growth work: SEO, GEO, and AEO management, plus a monthly performance dashboard.
Why do I need a website if I already have social media?
Social platforms rent you an audience and can change their rules or reach at any time; your own site is an asset you own permanently. It's also the only place search engines and AI assistants can verify who you are, what you do, and who you serve. Without it, you're invisible in exactly the searches where people are deciding who to contact.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. VersaSolve Consulting works remotely with clients throughout New England and beyond, handling everything through video calls, email, and shared documents. In-person meetings are available in the Portland, Maine and Greater Boston areas.
How is AI used in your work?
AI is used to accelerate production (build scaffolding, content drafting, and research), while every strategic decision, design choice, and final deliverable is reviewed by a human. It's also central to what VersaSolve optimizes for: making sure clients are visible in AI-powered search, not just traditional search. Clients get the speed benefit without an AI-generated result.
What do you need from me to get started?
A signed service agreement, a deposit, and access to your domain and any existing accounts. From there VersaSolve needs your content (photos, bio, program or service information), plus timely feedback at defined review points. Everything else is handled.
How much does a website cost?
Website projects start at $900 for a Starter build, $1,600 for Growth, and $3,000 for a Full build. A Visibility Launch Bundle, a website built with SEO, AEO, and GEO from day one, starts at $1,950. Every project routes into an ongoing VersaCare care path so the site keeps working after launch.
How long does it take to build a website?
Standard websites launch in 5 to 10 business days. For scoped 4 to 5 page builds, same-day launch is available. Timelines depend mainly on how quickly content and feedback come back from your side.
How much does VersaCare cost?
VersaCare monthly plans start at $450 for Premium (hosting oversight, security and software updates, backups, and a monthly allowance of content edits) and $900 for Elite, which adds active SEO, GEO, and AEO management plus a monthly performance dashboard.
