SEO, GEO and AEO are three ways of making sure people can find your business when they search. Each one targets a different kind of search result.
SEO, or search engine optimization, helps your pages rank in classic search results. GEO, or generative engine optimization, helps AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity understand and cite your business. AEO, or answer engine optimization, shapes your content so it can be pulled straight into a direct answer, a featured snippet or a voice reply.
Pin Tip
Treat all three as one plan. Clear, accurate, well organized pages help with SEO, GEO and AEO at the same time.
Where to Start
Begin with a solid website, a complete Google Business Profile and pages that answer the questions your customers actually ask. Those three pieces support every type of search result.
