GEOAEO verifies Phase 1 and Phase 2 using Google's Rich Results Test — run by you, in your own browser, on Day 6. The first invoice is only issued after you confirm the results yourself.
How does GEOAEO verify that Phase 1 and Phase 2 are working?
GEOAEO verifies Phase 1 and Phase 2 results using Google's Rich Results Test — a publicly available tool operated by Google, not by GEOAEO. On Day 6, you are sent instructions to run this test yourself in your own browser. You enter your website URL, the test runs, and you see the schema validation results directly in Google's tool. The screenshots are generated by Google, not by GEOAEO. This is a deliberate design decision: client-verified proof using a third-party tool, not agency-produced evidence. The first invoice, Milestone 1, is only issued after you have confirmed these results yourself.

On Day 6, the client receives instructions to run this test themselves in their own browser. The client enters their website URL, the test runs, and the schema validation results appear directly in Google's interface. The screenshots capturing those results are generated by Google's tool, not by GEOAEO.
This design is intentional. It ensures that the proof of work is third-party verified and independently reproducible by the client at any time, rather than being evidence produced by the agency itself.
The first invoice, Milestone 1, is only issued after the client has confirmed these results. If results are not as expected on Day 6, GEOAEO corrects the issue before any invoice is sent.
