Services — frequently asked questions
What services does CapeWeb offer?
Custom web development (React, Next.js, Shopify), Generative Engine Optimization for AI search, AI chat and WhatsApp automation, local SEO for Cape Town, paid Google and Meta ads management, and monthly care plans with hosting, security and design improvements.
How is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) different from regular SEO?
Regular SEO targets Google rankings for human clicks. GEO restructures a site so it is cited as a source inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. The technical requirements differ: GEO needs server-side rendered HTML, deep JSON-LD schema (FAQPage, Service, Article), modular 75–150 word answer blocks, and an llms.txt manifest. CapeWeb delivers both.
What does an AI-visibility audit include?
We query ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews with the 20 questions your prospects actually ask, screenshot every answer, and record which sources get cited. We then map the technical and content gaps preventing your site from being cited and deliver a written remediation plan within 5 working days.
Do you build on WordPress or Shopify?
We build on Shopify for ecommerce when conversion-rate optimisation matters most. For content, services and lead-generation sites we use React (Vite) or Next.js because they ship faster pages, better Core Web Vitals, and the semantic-HTML control GEO requires. We rarely recommend WordPress for new builds.
