WHAT ARE AEO & GEO?
AI-powered search is transforming how customers discover businesses. These emerging optimization strategies help you stay visible in the new era of answer-first search.
ANSWER ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
AEO is the practice of optimizing your content so AI-powered search features—like Google’s AI Overviews, featured snippets, and voice assistants—pull direct answers from your website.
The goal is to become the source that AI cites when users ask questions, appearing in “position zero” above traditional search results.
- Featured snippets & answer boxes
- Google AI Overviews
- Voice search responses
- Knowledge panels
GENERATIVE ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
GEO focuses on optimizing your content so large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity cite your business as a trusted source in their AI-generated responses.
Unlike traditional SEO, GEO isn’t about ranking—it’s about being recognized as authoritative enough to be included in synthesized AI answers.
- ChatGPT & Claude citations
- Perplexity AI references
- Google Gemini responses
- Bing Copilot answers
