Discipline comparison

SEO vs GEO vs AEO — three disciplines, one strategy

The old SEO playbook still matters, but it is no longer the whole game. In 2026, Google AI Overviews appear on 48 percent of queries, ChatGPT and Perplexity route buyers around traditional SERPs, and answer engines pull from a different content pattern than search engines. Here is how the three disciplines compare and where each earns its budget.

In practice, SEO is the foundation, AEO extracts featured-snippet real estate from existing rankings, and GEO wins in AI-search era where traditional SERPs are being replaced by answer boxes.

Ask us directly
How long until I see results?

Local moves fastest — often weeks. National and competitive terms take a few months of consistent technical, content and authority work. We show early signals from the preview win.

What's this 'AI search' thing?

GEO/AEO is optimizing so AI assistants — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity — recommend you by name when someone asks for a business like yours. It's a new front most agencies aren't covering yet.

Do you guarantee #1?

No honest agency can — Google and the AI engines control the ranking. We commit to the work, the measurement, and steady movement you can see in plain reports.

Will you explain what you're doing?

Yes — monthly, in plain words. You'll know what we did, why, and what it moved.
