Quick answer
SEO helps your pages rank in traditional search results. AEO structures content as direct answers so search features and assistants can pull them. GEO helps AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews understand and mention your business. They overlap heavily: the same useful, specific, trustworthy content supports all three.
The full answer
| Goal | Main levers | |
|---|---|---|
| SEO | Rank in search results and Maps | Service pages, technical health, reviews, links |
| AEO | Be the extracted answer | Question headings, direct answers, clear structure |
| GEO | Be mentioned in AI answers | Entity consistency, first-hand proof, reputation |
You do not need three separate strategies. You need one body of genuinely useful content, built on a sound site, with consistent business information and real evidence.
