SEO vs GEO vs AEO

People keep treating them like three different versions of SEO.

They're not.

SEO helps people find you through search.

AEO helps search engines and answer engines understand your content well enough to answer questions with it.

GEO helps generative AI systems understand your expertise and include you in their answers.

Think of it simply:

SEO → Get found. AEO → Get answered. GEO → Get mentioned.

And no, you don't need three separate strategies.

A strong website should be: easy to find, easy to understand, and worth trusting.
