Superior Steam Inc. provides commercial and residential steam cleaning services across the Savannah, Georgia area. The company has a working website and real customers — but when AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews look for local service providers, Superior Steam was effectively invisible.

A GEO audit scored the site at 11 out of 100. That number reflects how well a site can be read, understood, and cited by AI systems. At 11, the site had almost nothing in place.

What Was Wrong

The audit found six distinct problems. None of them required a site redesign. All of them were preventing AI search engines from making sense of the business.

Each of these is a signal AI systems use to decide whether a business is worth surfacing. Missing all six means the site was starting from zero every time a potential customer asked an AI assistant for a steam cleaner in Savannah.

What Was Fixed

Cobalt Automations delivered seven targeted fixes within 48 hours. No new pages, no redesign, no ongoing retainer.

One thing we could not fix: HTTPS is not enforcing at the hosting level. That is a server configuration issue outside the scope of a site-level sprint. Resolving it would add an estimated +7 more points to the score.

Increase in GEO score. From 11 to 76, in one 48-hour sprint, for $99.

What Is Next for Superior Steam

The site is no longer invisible. But a score of 76 leaves real room to grow, and the remaining gains are within reach.

01

Enforce HTTPS at the server level

This is a hosting configuration fix. It costs nothing beyond a few minutes with the right access. It is worth an estimated 7 more points on its own.

02

Deepen the structured data

Service-specific schema, FAQ schema, and review schema can push the Structured Data category from 12 toward the full 20 points.

03

Expand content for AI citation

Longer, structured service page content gives AI systems more to quote when answering questions about steam cleaning in Savannah.

04

Build third-party authority signals

Reviews, directory listings, and consistent NAP data across the web strengthen the Authority and Trust score beyond what on-site fixes can achieve alone.
