AI Search Foundations
Core GEO, AEO, and AI visibility pages
These pages define the core terms, metrics, and recommendation mechanics behind AI search visibility.
What Is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
Most GEO explainers treat it like "SEO but for AI" — which undersells the shift. This page argues that GEO is not an optimization discipline at all: it's a reputation...
GEO vs SEO: What Changes When AI Becomes the Discovery Layer?
Everyone says GEO and SEO are "complementary." That's a fence-sitting answer. This page takes a harder stance: GEO and SEO optimize for fundamentally different things — one...
What Is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is often conflated with featured snippet optimization (an old SEO tactic). This page draws a sharp line: AEO is the practice of structuring content so that AI answer...
What Is AI Share of Voice?
Traditional share of voice (SOV) is calculated from media impressions or search rankings. AI share of voice is probabilistic — it's a percentage calculated from how often...

Most teams treat this as a single check-it-off-the-list task. This page treats it as a recurring audit with a fixed cadence and a comparison baseline, because a one-time...

The temptation with a new measurement category is to track everything available. This page argues for a deliberately short core list — four or five metrics that each map to a...
How CMOs Should Report AI Search Performance
The operational dashboard a marketing team watches weekly is the wrong artifact for a board meeting. This page is specifically about the translation layer — turning...
