GEO, AEO and SEO for professional services
Clients ask an AI “CA for startup compliance in Bangalore”, “employment lawyer in Bangalore” or “architect for a 30×40 site”. The answer names people, not firms — engines cite practitioners with verifiable credentials and specific, dated expertise. Citemark builds the practitioner entity and the answer-first content that gets them named, inside the advertising rules of the profession.

What's different
What's different about search in professional services
People are the entity
Person schema, credentials, professional-body membership and a LinkedIn profile that agrees with the site. The firm is context; the practitioner is what gets cited.Advice is the proof
Specific, dated, India-specific answers — this section, this form, this deadline — get cited. Generic “why you need a CA” content does not.Advertising is regulated
Advocates and chartered accountants work under advertising restrictions from their professional bodies. Educational content and accurate profiles are within the rules; solicitation and superlatives are not.

A note on claims. We work inside the Bar Council of India and ICAI advertising guidelines as your firm interprets them: no solicitation, no comparative or superlative claims, educational content only. Your compliance view decides what publishes.
Questions, answered
Is this allowed for lawyers and CAs?
Educational content and accurate professional profiles are, as both professions’ guidelines are generally read. Solicitation, superlatives and comparisons are not, and we don’t write them. Your firm’s reading of the rules governs.
Will I have to write the content?
No. We draft from a short interview; you review and sign. Your name, credentials and the date go on the page, because that’s what gets it cited.
Firm or individual — which should we build?
Both, with the individual first. Engines name people for professional-services prompts. The firm entity carries the address, hours and the roster.
How long for local prompts?
Specific local prompts (“CA near Koramangala for GST”) typically 4–8 weeks once profiles are consistent. Broad advice prompts earn citations page by page over 3–9 months.
