SEO, GEO and AEO: how to appear in AI answers

In short: SEO helps you be found in Google, while GEO and AEO help you be cited in AI answers. The basics are the same: useful content, clear structure and trust signals.
The differences, plainly
- SEO: positions in classic results.
- AEO: direct answers, for example in answer boxes and voice assistants.
- GEO: presence in answers generated by AI models.
What you do, concretely
- Answer first. The first two sentences of the page say directly what it is and for whom.
- Use real questions as headings. The ones from your search research and from customers’ questions.
- Add structured data. Organisation, service, FAQ, article, breadcrumbs.
- Show author and date. Trust is built with real people and up-to-date information.
- Make pages easy for machines to read. Clean HTML, no content hidden in images or heavy scripts.
- Check access. The robots.txt file and the sitemap must allow access where you want to be cited.
What does not work
Mass-generated text with no value does not earn trust. Neither do duplicated city pages. Every page needs real information.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to do something separate for AI?
Not separately. What helps people and Google also helps AI engines: clear answers, structure and trust.
