What's the difference between GEO and SEO for a restaurant?+
SEO gets your pages into Google search results; GEO helps AI assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini understand you and mention you when someone asks for a good place nearby for a group dinner. Much of the work overlaps (an accurate Google Business Profile, a menu in text, reviews and mentions on other sites), so we do them together and measure them separately.
How do I know whether AI recommends my restaurant?+
Start with the free quick scan: enter your URL in GEO by TriloAI and see how ChatGPT answers in about 1–2 minutes. For the full picture, the five-platform check runs up to 15 customer questions across 5 AI platforms and shows whether you're mentioned and who you lose to.
How long before I see results?+
Each platform updates at its own pace, and changes usually take a few weeks to show. We re-test with the same questions and look at calls, direction requests and bookings from Google Maps; no change gets recorded as no change.
How can I describe my menu, and which rules apply?+
Taiwan's Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation says food labelling, promotion and advertising must not be false, exaggerated or misleading, and must not claim medical effects. When we write content, we make no health or medical claims for dishes or drinks (such as lowering blood pressure or detox), allergen and ingredient information always comes from you, and we use no superlatives such as the most delicious or number one. What we do write is ingredients, preparation, flavor, portion size and the occasions a dish suits. This is a plain-language summary, not legal advice; the latest notices from the authorities, such as the Ministry of Health and Welfare and local health departments, prevail.
Will the AI assistant get allergens or ingredients wrong?+
It's set up to answer only from the information you provide: your menu, hours, how to book and the FAQs you've written. Allergen and ingredient answers follow what you provide, anything not in your data is passed to staff rather than guessed, and diners with severe allergies are asked to confirm directly with staff.
Does this work for a single small restaurant?+
Yes. Small restaurants usually start with the Google Business Profile: accurate hours, menu, photos and booking details. It costs less, and it's what nearby people often see when looking for somewhere to eat.
Will this change my website's design?+
As a rule, no. We change headings, descriptions, menu text, structured data and content. If you don't have a website yet, you can start with the Google Business Profile and add a simple website when you need one.
Can you connect my current booking system?+
It depends on whether the system offers a way to connect. Common tools like LINE Official Account, Google Calendar and forms connect directly; other booking or ordering systems need checking first. We won't ask you to replace what you use.
Do you guarantee AI will recommend my restaurant?+
No. Each AI platform decides what it recommends, and nobody can guarantee that. What we can do is fill in what AI needs, measure the before and after clearly, and tell you the results as they are.
How is pricing worked out?+
It's scoped to your needs: number of locations, what needs work and whether you want LINE reservations and AI phone answering connected. We quote after a free 30-minute consultation. The quick scan is free.
