What is AI SEO?
AI SEO is the next step in how people search, buy, or contact companies online. It ensures that your website is showing up on both traditional search results, as well as showing up in AI based searches such as Google, Chat GPT, and other generative engines.
AIO, GEO, AEO?
Digital marketing has a reputation for using three letter acronyms or TLA for short, but AIO, GEO, and AEO are all part of the new landscape that is happening with AI. Let’s explain them in a bit more detail.
AIO
Stands for Artificial Intelligence Optimisation and is focused on making the content on your website ready for ai based systems. AIO is about optimising your website's structure, content, and semantics to allow AI systems to understand your content more.
GEO
Generative Engine Optimisation is about optimising your content for queries from AI systems such as chat GPT, Gemini and more. GEO works on strategies based around creating topics clusters, authoritative sources, EEAT and more to ensure that AI systems show you as the best source for any query
AEO
Answer Engine Optimisation is focused on optimising your business to answer direct questions that users ask. The goal here is to make sure that online systems such as AI Overviews, Siri, Chat GPT make you the go to source for any question your customers ask.
Why Does AI SEO Matter?
The way that people search is changing drastically. The digital landscape is constantly changing, and we’ve seen more changes in the past 12 months than we have in the previous 5 years. The fact of the matter is that less people search for keywords these days and instead opt for asking AI systems questions. This change in user research and behaviours mean that online marketing needs to adapt.
AI systems don’t work the same way as traditional SEO. They view your website and content differently, crawl it differently, and recommend business based on different ranking factors. AI systems not only want content that will answer questions that users have, but they want to also be able to show those users companies that have brand reputation, multiple pieces of content, and authority over their industry.
How Does AI SEO Differ from Traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO
1. Keywords and backlinks
2. Main focus is on ranking pages on search engines
3. Search engine algorithm updates that happen often and require strategic shifts
4. Optimising your meta data
5. Content production
AI SEO
1. Focus is on brand and reputation
2. Has a heavy focus on technical elements such as semantics and structured data
3. Creating topical clusters that help with topical entities
4. Ability to answer questions based on user queries instead of ranking for specific keywords
