Practical guides on SEO, GEO, AEO, and visibility in AI search engines.
How to get your website into ChatGPT's answers: a myth-free, verified guide
Getting into ChatGPT Search starts with giving OAI-SearchBot access. But the outcome also depends on relevance, trustworthiness, and the quality of the information available.
GPTBot vs. OAI-SearchBot vs. ChatGPT-User: the right robots.txt setup
OAI-SearchBot powers ChatGPT search, GPTBot relates to model training, and ChatGPT-User handles user-triggered visits. Each one can be controlled separately.
llms.txt without the myths: what it actually does and whether you need it
The llms.txt file can be a useful map of your site for systems that choose to read it. It isn't, however, a standard supported by every AI search engine.
Google AI Overviews and AI Mode: official recommendations for websites
Appearing in AI Overviews and AI Mode doesn't require special files or schema. The foundation is still indexing, quality original content, and technical SEO.
Schema markup and AI: what helps, what's a myth, and what to implement
Schema markup gives machines explicit information about your content, but it isn't a special GEO ranking factor or a guarantee of being cited in an AI answer.
How to write content that search engines and AI will actually use
Content works best when it offers something that isn't easy to get elsewhere: first-hand experience, original data, a test, a clear explanation, or a practical tool.
How to measure AI visibility: a mention isn't a citation or a recommendation
AI answers aren't a stable ranking. Reliable measurement requires a set of prompts, repetition, precise context, and separate metrics.
What is a GEO audit, and how to recognize a trustworthy methodology
A quality GEO audit combines real AI system responses with technical, content, and reputation analysis of the website, and openly states its limitations.
E-E-A-T without shortcuts: how to demonstrate experience, expertise, and trust
E-E-A-T is Google's framework for thinking about quality and trust, not a standalone direct ranking factor or a universal AI algorithm.
How AI chooses its sources: what we know, what we measure, and what we're just guessing
There's no single public list of universal GEO factors. Each system has its own index, retrieval process, model, and way of citing sources.
AI visibility for online stores: products, feeds, schema, reviews, and availability
For an online store, accurate and up-to-date product data is what matters. A blog can't substitute for a solid feed, availability, pricing, variants, and store credibility.

What do the acronyms AEO and AIO mean?
