GEO, AEO, and AI search

AEO

Also known as: Answer Engine Optimization

Adapting knowledge and content to the questions people ask answer engines.

A practical example

A page clearly explains service scope, terms, and limitations.

What should I know?

AEO overlaps with SEO and GEO; the boundaries are not fixed.

GEO, AEO, and AI search in practice

In AI answers, distinguish a name mention, an actual recommendation, and a source link. Compare the same questions, models, and markets. A single conversation can vary and does not represent all possible answers.
