愛顧 is the base noun meaning 'patronage' or 'favor,' while ご愛顧 adds the honorific prefix ご to make it polite, typically used when addressing customers or clients.
Formed by adding the honorific prefix ご to the noun 愛顧 (あいこ), which itself is a Sino-Japanese compound of 愛 (love, affection) and 顧 (look back, care for).
