Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AEO, GEO, zero-click optimization, and our services.

Understanding AEO, GEO & Zero-Click

What is AEO (AI Engine Optimization)?

AEO (AI Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing your content, products, and digital presence to be discovered and recommended by AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and other large language models. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on search engine rankings, AEO ensures your content is accurately represented when AI systems answer user queries.

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) focuses specifically on optimizing for generative AI platforms that create original content based on user prompts. This includes platforms like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. GEO ensures your business, products, and services are accurately cited and recommended in AI-generated responses.

What is zero-click optimization?

Zero-click optimization is the strategy of providing complete, authoritative answers directly in AI responses, search snippets, or featured results—without requiring users to click through to your website. While this may seem counterintuitive, it establishes authority and ensures your brand is the trusted source AI engines reference.

How is AEO/GEO different from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO focuses on ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs) to drive website clicks. AEO and GEO focus on being the authoritative source AI engines cite when answering questions—even if users never visit your website. The goal shifts from clicks to authority, trust, and accurate representation in AI-generated content.

Why do I need AEO/GEO optimization?

This year, in 2026, over 50% of searches are answered by AI engines without users visiting websites. If your business isn't optimized for AI discovery, you're invisible to this growing audience. AEO/GEO ensures your products, services, and expertise are accurately represented when potential customers ask AI for recommendations.

Who needs AEO/GEO optimization?

Any business or creator with an online presence needs AEO/GEO optimization, especially:

  • E-commerce businesses selling products
  • Service providers and consultants
  • Content creators and educators
  • SaaS and software companies
  • Local businesses competing for AI recommendations
  • Anyone who wants to be discovered by AI-powered search
