AEO and GEO explained for Australian businesses

AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) sit alongside SEO — they are not replacements and they are not ranking products.

AEO in plain English

Answer engines summarise. They need clear questions and clear answers on your site: FAQs, structured blocks, semantic HTML and schema where it matches what visitors see.

GEO in plain English

Generative systems lean on entities and corroborating sources. Inconsistent brands get misdescribed. GEO work improves consistency, structured content, expert pages and citations strategy — including local authority for regional Australian businesses.

What we will not claim

  • Rank #1 on Google
  • Guaranteed ChatGPT / Gemini mentions
  • Doorway town pages as a ranking strategy

FAQ

What is AEO?

Answer Engine Optimisation makes your public information clear enough that answer engines can accurately summarise who you are, what you offer, and who you help.

What is GEO?

Generative Engine Optimisation improves how generative AI systems understand your brand and expertise through entity consistency, authoritative content and corroboration. It does not guarantee inclusion in ChatGPT or any AI response.
