answered once.
Is SEO still relevant when AI search is replacing traditional search?
Yes — and it remains where most commercial revenue still moves through. Catalyst clients run SEO as the defensive twin of GEO. SEO owns the page when buyers land on Google or Bing; GEO owns the answer when buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Perplexity. Both compound. Traditional search isn't disappearing — its share is shrinking as AI surfaces grow, but the click-traffic floor is still substantial across most B2B and considered-purchase categories.
How does Catalyst SEO differ from Sovereign SEO?
Same methodology, calibrated to scope. Catalyst SEO retainers (from €2,000/month) target one to two priority topic clusters per SME's strategic position. Sovereign SEO (from €15,000/month) covers full multi-topic, multi-region search architecture. Catalyst clients can graduate to Sovereign tier as scope demands grow.
Do I need the Catalyst Audit before starting SEO?
Yes. Every Catalyst engagement opens with the 14-day AI Visibility Audit (€1,500). The audit maps your query universe across both AI engines AND traditional search, current position, gap analysis, and 90-day roadmap covering both surfaces. The €1,500 audit fee credits in full to month one of any Catalyst retainer signed within 30 days.
What does a Catalyst SEO retainer engineer?
Technical SEO foundation (Core Web Vitals, schema, crawl architecture, mobile usability), topical depth (cornerstone content + content cluster systems for one to two priority topics), compounding velocity (cadence-driven publication and link acquisition), and domain authority signals (E-E-A-T, citations, brand entity strengthening).
