Most tradie marketing businesses haven't even noticed GEO yet. Tradie Packs isn't doing it. The big agencies aren't doing it. There is a wide-open window, probably 12 to 24 months, where the tradies who get sorted on GEO early will lock in AI visibility before everyone else catches up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAfter that window closes, it'll be the same arms race as Google SEO.
