FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Duo Creative Labs

What people ask us most before starting a project: what we do, what it costs, how we work, and what GEO actually is. If your question isn't here, write to us and we'll add it.

What is Duo Creative Labs?

Duo Creative Labs is a boutique artificial intelligence, automation and web development studio based in Calgary, Alberta. It was founded by Claudia Cáceres (CEO) and Carlos Briceño (CTO), and works in English and Spanish with service businesses and startups across Calgary and the United States.

What is GEO and how is it different from SEO?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is optimization that gets AI models to recommend you, while SEO optimizes for Google to rank you. SEO chases a position in a list of links; GEO chases being named inside the answer that ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews give. According to Gartner (2024), 60% of online searches will be AI-assisted by 2026.

How much does it cost to work with Duo Creative Labs?

Duo Creative Labs publishes its entry prices: websites from $3,000 CAD, automations and AI agents from $500 CAD (or from $50 CAD per week), and AI Marketing from $500 CAD per month. Every project is quoted from that floor based on scope, with no billable hours.

What services does Duo Creative Labs offer?

Duo Creative Labs offers four services: Next.js web development, automations and AI agents built on n8n, AI Marketing with GEO optimization, and content and blog work with an E-E-A-T focus. The first three can be hired separately or together.

What is a Smart Web Page?

A Smart Web Page is a site built in Next.js with server-side rendering, optimized for technical SEO and readable by AI crawlers. Google confirmed in 2024 that Core Web Vitals are a ranking factor for both traditional search and AI Overviews, so speed is not a luxury: it is part of visibility.

What is AI automation and how does it work?

AI automation lets your business capture, qualify and follow up on leads without manual work. At Duo Creative Labs we connect processes using n8n, an open-source platform with more than 300 native integrations. According to McKinsey (2023), companies that automate their marketing cut operating costs by up to 40%.

Does Duo Creative Labs work in English and Spanish?

Yes. Duo Creative Labs is a bilingual team and delivers websites, automations and content in both English and Spanish. For a Calgary business serving the Hispanic community, that means one agency for both languages instead of translating after the fact.

What areas does Duo Creative Labs serve?

Duo Creative Labs serves Calgary and the surrounding area in person, and works remotely with clients across the rest of Canada and the United States. Business hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00 Calgary time.

What technologies does Duo Creative Labs build with?

Duo Creative Labs builds with Next.js and React for the web, n8n for automations, and AI models such as GPT and Retell AI for voice and chat agents. Everything ships with JSON-LD schema and analytics configured from day one.
