AEO, GEO and AI search guidance filed under “SEO” — practical strategy for getting found, trusted and cited by AI answer engines.
Topical authority is how completely and credibly your site covers one subject. Not one page about it — the whole subject. Definitions, comparisons, costs, objections, edge cases, the lot. When a site covers a topic that thoroughly and connects it all together, search engines and AI systems start treating it as a go-to source rather […]
llms.txt is a plain-text file you put at the root of your site to show AI systems where your best content lives. It’s a proposed convention, not an official standard – and so far, no major AI provider has committed to reading it. That’s the honest headline. Whether you should still build one is a […]
AI detectors and AI humanizers have no direct effect on how you rank in Google or whether AI search engines cite you. Google evaluates content on usefulness, originality and demonstrated expertise. It does not run a detector over your page. AI answer engines select passages on relevance, clarity and trustworthiness — not on how “human” […]

When a respected publication links to your guide, it is publicly staking a bit […]
Key Takeaways The difference between AEO and SEO comes down to where you want to be found. Search engine optimization (SEO) gets your pages ranked in traditional search results so people click through to your site. Answer engine optimization (AEO) gets your brand mentioned and cited inside AI-generated answers – on ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, […]
Topical authority is the degree to which search engines and AI systems recognize your brand as a trusted expert on a specific subject. In classic SEO, it helped you rank. In AI search, it decides something bigger: whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews name your brand when buyers ask questions in your […]
AI-powered search is rapidly changing how people find information. Today, when users ask ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, or Perplexity a question, those systems often cite the exact sources they use. In other words, instead of a list of blue links, your content can become the answer itself. These AI citations are now a primary measure of visibility in Answer […]
