FAQ
How-to guides FAQ
Common questions about implementing AI overview optimization, GEO/AEO strategy, and structured data for AI search.
Start with beginner guides that explain what AI Mode and AI Overview are, then move to structured content basics (headings, passages, and FAQs). Once you have the foundation, use schema markup guides to make your content machine-readable and easier for AI systems to cite.
Traditional SEO focuses on rankings and click-through. AI search optimization (GEO/AEO) focuses on how AI systems retrieve, interpret, and cite sources. These guides emphasize conversational query intent, semantic coverage, structured data, and trust signals that influence AI-generated answers.
Not always. Many improvements are editorial: clearer headings, better Q&A structure, and stronger entity coverage. For structured data and schema markup, you can use tools or copy/paste JSON-LD with light developer support.
Track AI citations, source attribution, and visibility across AI-driven surfaces, not just classic rankings. Monitor citations over time for priority pages and compare before/after changes after publishing updates.
