THE DECISION, SIDE BY SIDE

Compare the capabilities
behind each series.

Compare like with like: scope, editorial depth, authority work and measurement. A keyword is not an entity, and AI reporting is not a dedicated GEO campaign.

The SEO plans below include contextual backlink placements, guaranteed link acquisition, and SV Publishing Outreach. Compare the minimum DA or DR, the traffic requirement, and the publishing options at the plan level. Z-SERIES has a separate GEO authority-link scope.

* Z-SERIES lists DA 50–90 authority links as a separate GEO deliverable. Its off-site post counts are not an equivalent count of DA-qualified contextual placements, and the SEO standards in this table should not be assumed to apply to every GEO deliverable.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

SEO + GEO comparison FAQs

Clear distinctions help you choose a better-fit campaign—and avoid paying for the wrong scope.

Does every AI-powered SEO campaign include a full GEO campaign?

No. i-SERIES, X-SERIES and S-SERIES focus on organic SEO. XC-SERIES, SC-SERIES and M-SERIES add RankLens AI visibility and a deeper research-led SEO workflow. Z-SERIES is the dedicated entity-led GEO program. AI-powered production, AI visibility measurement and dedicated GEO execution are different scopes.

What changes when I upgrade from Local or National to a “+” series?

X to XC and S to SC add research-backed 1,000-word articles, advanced editorial and source review, screened authority placements, trend research, a monthly SEMrush issue resolution, social publishing and RankLens. The CORE response level also moves from responsive to aggressive. The minimum publisher DA or DR remains 35; XC and SC apply a 1,000+ publisher traffic minimum even at Starter. Keyword coverage and article counts may remain the same at corresponding levels; the added value is in the work behind them.

Are contextual backlinks only included in higher series?

No. Every SEO family compared here, including i-SERIES, includes contextual article placements with backlinks. i-SERIES includes 1–4 per month; X and S include 2–5; XC and SC include 2–5 screened placements; M includes 5–10 premium placements. The minimum publisher DA or DR is 35 for i, X, XC, S and SC, and 50 for M. Guest/third-party publishing begins at Advanced in i-SERIES. Editorial depth, screening and capacity also follow the selected plan.

Does a higher series include every feature from the lower ones?

Not automatically. M-SERIES expands SEO coverage, production and enterprise oversight, but its location scope should be confirmed rather than assumed from X or XC. Z-SERIES targets entities and AI brand visibility, not an equivalent keyword package. Compare the chosen level and business objective, not just the series name.

Are the figures launch deliverables or monthly allowances?

Keyword and entity counts describe campaign scope. Page-optimization counts refer to launch scope; monthly content and issue-fix allowances are labeled separately. Z-SERIES recurring content begins in month 2. M-SERIES press distribution is a launch deliverable, not a monthly press-release allowance. X and XC each include 10 recurring citations per campaign, not per location.

Can an agency offer these campaigns under its own brand?

Yes. The campaign families support direct business use and white-label agency fulfillment. Match each client to a market, objective and delivery scope, then confirm the plan details with SV. A white-label delivery model is not a different SEO or GEO strategy.

Can I combine SEO and GEO, and are results guaranteed?

SEO and dedicated GEO can be scoped together when you need both traditional search growth and AI brand visibility. Confirm responsibilities and overlapping deliverables before combining campaigns. Rankings, traffic, leads and inclusion in a particular AI answer cannot be promised by this comparison. Any service protections are subject to the terms on the relevant pricing page.

Do all SEO series have the same minimum publisher authority?

i-, S-, X-, SC-, and XC-SERIES have a minimum publisher DA or DR of 35. M-SERIES has a minimum of 50. Traffic minimums and guest/third-party publishing eligibility vary by plan. Z-SERIES lists a separate DA 50–90 authority-link deliverable.

Does a + series always have a higher DA/DR minimum?

No. SC-SERIES and XC-SERIES have the same 35 minimum DA or DR as S-SERIES and X-SERIES. Their additional value includes the published research, editorial review, placement screening, and broader campaign capabilities. Their 1,000+ traffic minimum applies even at Starter.

Does a traffic minimum guarantee visitors to my site?

No. The traffic minimum describes a publisher-selection requirement, not a guaranteed audience for an individual article or a promised number of visitors to your website.
