ABOUT VALKER
VALKER is a one-person studio in Stratford-upon-Avon, founded in 2024, where the founder, George Valker, does the work. GEO Launch is £2,499 fixed: readable pages, published facts, answer pages and comparisons built in 48 hours, then 90 days of tracking 20 buyer questions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google. After that, GEO Growth is £700 a month, month to month. Sable Management, our own launch, was named first by ChatGPT four days after it went live, and VMEP, a Shopify client, went from about 2% to 30% AI visibility in three months. The honest limits: we're younger and smaller than Kaizen, we have no awards, and we take a few launches a week at most.
QUESTIONS
VALKER or Kaizen?
No, not as of 20 October 2026; it offers a free audit. VALKER's GEO Launch is £2,499 fixed, with GEO Growth at £700 a month after day 90 if you want it.
Kaizen's strength is digital PR and social: the mentions you earn on other sites. VALKER's launch fixes your own site so AI tools can read and quote it. If AI crawlers can't read your site yet, start there, then add PR.
