Digital Marketing & AI Glossary

Clear, actionable definitions for the technology and marketing concepts driving modern business growth.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

The practice of optimizing a website to rank higher in organic search results on Google and Bing.

SEO is primarily focused on traditional search engines where users type queries and get a list of links. It relies on keywords, backlinks, and technical site structure.

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)

Optimizing content to be chosen as the direct answer by AI systems, voice assistants, and featured snippets.

Instead of trying to rank as a blue link, AEO structures information so that AI models (like ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews) can easily extract and read your content as the definitive answer.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)

A specialized subset of AEO focused entirely on appearing in AI-generated search results (like Perplexity or Google SGE).

GEO requires strong brand authority, high-quality citations, and entity optimization to convince a generative AI model that your brand is the most trusted source on a topic.

Entity

A distinct, well-defined concept, organization, person, or place that search engines and AI models understand as a singular "thing."

Search engines no longer just look for keywords; they map relationships between entities. Establishing your business as a recognized entity is critical for modern SEO and AEO.

Schema Markup

Code (usually JSON-LD) added to a website to help search engines understand the context of the content.

Schema explicitly tells Google "this is a product", "this is a review", or "this is a FAQ", which helps secure rich snippets and answer engine visibility.
