Ranking on the 1st page of Google significantly increases your chances of being mentioned or cited by an answer engine. Good SEO is crucial to good AEO/GEO/AIO.
SEO is fundamentally important to having good visibility on answer engines.
Recently, we analyzed over 100,000 AI prompt responses across five major answer engines: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Grok.
The brands ranking on the first page of Google were significantly more likely to be mentioned by every major LLM platform we analyzed.
Anyone that tells you SEO is dead…is oblivious to how LLMs work 😆. That’s not who you should be listening to when it comes to AEO (GEO, AIO, Answer Engine Optimization or whatever you want to call it)
