Preparing for a First GEO Consultation with Nir Levi

A productive first GEO consultation starts with a business question, a small set of relevant pages and the evidence already available. Israeli companies contacting Nir Levi do not need to arrive with a complete diagnosis. They do need to explain the decision they want the investigation to support.

What should the initial brief contain?

Describe the audience, market and service or product being considered. State whether Hebrew, English or both matter to the first phase. Then identify the problem in observable terms: an inaccurate answer, an unclear product explanation, missing information or uncertainty about which sources buyers encounter.

Brief itemUseful level of detail
Business objectiveThe decision or customer action that matters
Priority audienceWho is evaluating the offer and in which market
Relevant pagesA few exact URLs with a reason for each
Existing evidenceOriginal answers, reports or customer questions
Team capacityWho can supply facts and implement changes

How should AI examples be shared?

Provide the exact prompt, full answer, cited URLs, date and system where possible. A cropped screenshot can omit the wording that explains why a brand was included or excluded. If the example cannot be repeated, preserve it as a single observation rather than presenting it as a stable pattern.

For Hebrew examples, keep the original wording. An English summary can help a wider team understand the issue, but it should not replace the source record. If no AI examples are available, say so; the initial scope may include gathering them.

Which questions should be settled during the discussion?

Ask what will be examined, what the deliverable will contain and what remains outside the scope. Clarify whether the work includes writing, engineering guidance, implementation support or repeat measurement. Nir Levi's website describes agreeing scope and deliverables before starting, so these are appropriate questions to make explicit.

Also ask what information would change the proposed approach. For example, discovering that a key page is inaccessible could shift the first phase toward technical investigation. A good brief gives the consultant room to diagnose the problem without leaving the assignment unlimited.

What should happen after the first conversation?

The team should be able to review a written scope with the question, required evidence, responsibilities, cost and completion checks. Do not treat a general discussion of possible work as approval for every activity mentioned. The agreed assignment should be understandable to someone who was not in the meeting.

Companies in Israel can start that conversation through nirlevi.com. A concise brief and honest statement of uncertainty are more useful than a long list of desired rankings without a defined audience or business decision.
