    They all (AEO, GEO, LLMSEO, etc) mean the same:
    Optimizing the brand for LLMs.

    That requires different priorities compared to traditional SEO.

    If a client asks you to grow on Gemini and you do traditional SEO, you are not giving them the best service possible. Period.

    In traditional SEO you spend:
    – More time on content than trustworthiness.
    – More time on backlinks than brand mentions.
    – More time on H1, meta descriptions, etc than on schema.

    I’ve spent hundreds of hours with clients growing their AI presence since I started IndexGPT and I can assure you: directed effort toward presence on LLMs helps A LOT.
