AEO & GEO: Optimizing for AI Search Engines in 2026

Standard search optimization focuses on listing pages on Google SERPs. Today, we must optimize for generative answers.

What is AEO & GEO?

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) optimize sites to be cited by LLMs like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.

Accessibility Requirements

Ensure AI bots can read your site. Avoid banning AI user-agents in robots.txt unless intended. Creating a structured `llms.txt` file at the root helps engines parse content efficiently.

Use SERPHub's AI Visibility Suite to generate AEO assets and monitor brand citations in real-time.
