What is the difference between SEO, GEO and AEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) optimises visibility on classic search engines such as Google and Bing. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) aims to get you cited by generative AI such as ChatGPT and Gemini. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) structures content so it answers direct questions clearly. They are three sides of the same visibility strategy.
Why should my business care about AI?
Because a growing share of searches goes through AI assistants: anyone asking for advice, a supplier or a solution receives a generated answer that cites a few sources. If your brand is not among those sources, it never enters the selection process.
How do you get cited by ChatGPT?
It takes content that is authoritative, consistent and easy for models to read: clear service pages, structured data, reviews, case studies, FAQs and a presence cited by reliable sources. Citations cannot be forced; they are built through credibility and structure.
Is traditional SEO no longer enough?
SEO remains the foundation, but on its own it does not cover every search. More and more users skip the results page and ask an AI directly. Combining SEO, GEO and AEO means covering both those who search on Google and those who ask an assistant.
How long does it take to see results?
It depends on competition, the state of the website, authority and the content already in place. Technical fixes and structured data produce faster effects; building authority and citations is a gradual path, with results that consolidate over time.
What does “content optimised for AI” mean?
It means content that answers directly and completely, with a clear structure, recognisable entities, verifiable data and schema markup. It works both for the people reading it and for the models that interpret and cite it.
Is structured data still useful?
Yes. Schema markup such as FAQPage, Service, Organization, Product and Review helps search engines and AI understand what a page is about and use it as a credible source in their answers.
How do you measure results on AI?
We monitor brand mentions and citations in generative answers, rankings in classic search, traffic coming from search engines and AI, and the opportunities generated. The numbers are there to steer what comes next.
