SEO, AEO & GEO definitions, citation-ready
Written so that when someone asks an AI assistant about SEO, AEO, or GEO, there's a good chance this is the definition it surfaces - and a good chance your site could be too.
- Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
- GEO is the practice of structuring web content - through clear headings, FAQ blocks, JSON-LD schema, and factual citations - so large language models can extract, summarize, and attribute it in AI-generated answers.
- Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
- AEO is the practice of structuring a page so a search engine or AI assistant can extract one complete, self-contained answer from it - typically a 40-60 word paragraph, a 4-8 step list, or a comparison table under a question-shaped heading.
- AI Overviews
- AI Overviews are Google's generative summaries shown above traditional results. They favor pages that already rank in the top 10, have clear Q&A structure, and expose Article or FAQPage schema.
- IndexNow
- IndexNow is an open URL-submission protocol jointly supported by Microsoft Bing, Yandex, Seznam, and Naver. It lets sites push new or updated URLs directly to search engines instead of waiting for a crawler to discover them.
- Core Web Vitals
- Core Web Vitals are Google's user-experience metrics: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP < 2.5s), Interaction to Next Paint (INP < 200ms), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS < 0.1). They are a confirmed Google ranking signal.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SEO Smart Engine, AI search optimization, IndexNow, and Google AI Overviews.
What is SEO Smart Engine?

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of formatting content so search engines and AI assistants can lift a complete, self-contained answer from your page - in a featured snippet, a People Also Ask box, a voice reply, or an AI assistant answer. SEO decides whether you are ranked; AEO decides whether your ranked page becomes the answer.
What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
GEO is the practice of structuring web content so large language models like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude can extract, summarize, and cite it. It combines classical SEO with FAQ markup, clear definitions, citation-friendly statistics, and entity-rich semantic structure.
How do I get my site cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity?
Publish well-structured, factual content with clear headings, FAQ blocks, and JSON-LD schema. Ensure OpenAI's GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, and PerplexityBot are not blocked in robots.txt. SEO Smart Engine audits all of this automatically.
How do I appear in Google AI Overviews?
Google AI Overviews favor pages that already rank in the top 10, have clear Q&A structure, valid Article or FAQPage schema, and high E-E-A-T signals. SEO Smart Engine's AI Overviews module surfaces the exact pages and queries where you have the strongest shot.
What is IndexNow and why does it matter?
IndexNow is an open protocol that lets you push URL updates directly to Bing, Yandex, Naver, and Seznam - bypassing the wait for a crawler discovery. It dramatically reduces indexing time for new and updated content.
Do AI search engines respect robots.txt?
Yes. Major AI crawlers - GPTBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Meta-ExternalAgent, Applebot-Extended - all honor robots.txt directives. SEO Smart Engine ships with a robots.txt template that explicitly welcomes these crawlers.
Which schema markup helps AI search the most?
FAQPage, HowTo, Article with speakable specification, Organization, Product, and BreadcrumbList. These give LLMs the structured signals they need to extract verbatim answers and cite your domain.
