Digital Marketing Institute contributor Nicai de Guzman has published an article on Search Everywhere Optimization explaining SEO, GEO, and AEO.

He says, “Ranking number one on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP) used to be the holy grail of digital marketing success. If your website hit the top spot for your keyword or your article was in a Featured Snippet, you made it. However, in today’s AI-driven world, that’s no longer enough.

Search has evolved beyond the traditional list of blue links. Users now find answers through voice assistants, AI chatbots, and generative search engines that summarize information instantly. And with Google’s AI Overviews, customers are no longer clicking through websites.

In a study by Smartly Marketing, they found that 90% of businesses are worried about the future of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) because of AI and large language models (LLMs). Many digital marketing professionals are in a flurry to adjust their search visibility strategies.”
