AI Search Visibility (AEO/GEO) Solutions for Event Planning Companies

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Through answer-engine optimization (AEO/GEO). Worqd structures your content and presence so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, and Copilot cite your brand in their answers. We track your AI citations as a distinct metric so you can see exactly where you appear — and we practice this on our own brand before we sell it to you.","question":"How do I get my event planning company to show up when someone asks ChatGPT for an event planner near me?"},{"answer":"Our AI SDRs and AI voice agents answer, qualify, and book the moment interest arrives — under 60 seconds, 24/7 including after-hours and weekends. Calls can be handed to a real person with full context, using your calendar and your rules, so being on a site inspection never costs you a booked call.","question":"I'm on-site managing events all day. What happens to inquiries that come in while I'm running the show?"},{"answer":"We focus on the results that matter to you — more demand, faster follow-up, better creative — and report them in one plan, one report with no vanity metrics. Work is priced against those results, not the hours we log, which helps you protect margins in a market where 65% of planners run over budget.","question":"Sponsors keep demanding proof of ROI while our budgets shrink. Can Worqd help with that pressure?"},{"answer":"Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch, while SEO and answer-engine visibility compound over months. We launch quickly, learn from lead quality and outcomes, and scale what works as your citations and booked calls grow.","question":"How long does it take to see results from AI search visibility?"},{"answer":"We're a retainer-style growth partner, deliberately not a platform or dashboard. Instead of separate vendors for ads, creative, and follow-up, one partner runs the whole path from first click to booked call. We also work with your existing CRM — no platform switch — and we never make up revenue lifts, logos, or testimonials; until real evidence is approved, we use clearly marked placeholders.","question":"How is Worqd different from hiring a traditional marketing agency or buying event management software?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Book a growth call","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"A short, free conversation about your buyer, your offer, your channels, and where growth is stuck — before we touch anything."},{"step":"2","title":"Get the plan and launch","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"We build the priority-channel plan and lead-handling path, then put answer-engine optimization, campaigns, creative, and fast follow-up into motion quickly."},{"step":"3","title":"Scale what works","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"We track your AI citations as a distinct metric, test what matters, drop what doesn't, and widen winning channels — recovering missed demand as you grow."}],"ctaText":"Book a Growth Call — see where your event planning company shows up in AI search, and what it takes to get cited.","eyebrow":"AI Search Visibility","benefits":[{"icon":"Target","title":"Visible where buyers actually decide","gradient":"from-emerald-500 to-teal-500","description":"When a corporate buyer asks Perplexity for 'full-service event planners with hybrid conference experience in Toronto' or ChatGPT for 'wedding planners who manage international room blocks,' answer-engine optimization places your firm in the cited response.

Qualified calls are handed off with full context: budget range, event type, date, headcount, and specific requirements like AV package needs or F&B minimums. This delivers a 4–7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up at 70–80% lower cost per qualified conversation versus hiring an in-house SDR team.","proof_point":"4–7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up; 70–80% lower cost per qualified conversation"},{"icon":"DollarSign","title":"Priced against results, not hours","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-yellow-500","description":"No hourly billing for creative revisions or campaign management.
