Stop confusing these three terms. AI now answers queries before users click links. You need to know where to put your effort.

AEO is Answer Engine Optimization. It targets Google snippets and voice search. You want the zero-position result.

GEO is Generative Engine Optimization. It targets AI like Perplexity and Gemini. You want a citation in the generated text.

AI Citation is your metric. It tracks if the AI links to your URL.

Engines work differently:

• Gemini uses Google search rank.
• ChatGPT and Copilot use Bing rank.
• Perplexity uses its own crawl.

Perplexity rewards specificity. You do not need high domain rank to win there.

How to get cited:

• Put direct answers in the first two sentences.
• Use specific numbers and dates.
• Use tables and numbered lists.
• Avoid long introductions.

Do not check these manually. Use a script to track your citation rate weekly. If a citation drops, update your content.

Better structure helps all three. Focus on facts. Keep it fresh.
