What is a managed GEO service?
A managed GEO service is AI visibility work done for you by a specialist: choosing the questions to track, diagnosing why engines leave you out, and shipping fixes. The customer's job is to approve work and grant the access the strategist needs.
Proofsource Managed keeps that collaboration in one place. Your strategist sends question sets and fixes for approval; you approve or request changes with a note. The access checklist shows what the strategist needs, such as DNS, site admin and review site accounts, and what is already granted. Email links take you straight to the item waiting for you.
