AEO vs. SEO: What Has Changed in 2026?
To understand why these experts are on top, you must understand the shift in the industry.
What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?
AEO is optimizing content to be the direct answer for AI assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google’s AI Overview.
- Old Way: Write 2000 words to keep people on the page.
- New Way: Give the answer in the first paragraph (like the table above) to get cited by AI.
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO is the art of influencing Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Gemini.
- Strategy: You need “Brand Mentions” and “Co-occurrence” in authoritative texts (News, Wikipedia, Whitepapers) so the AI “learns” that your brand is the leader.
