Is SEO really a subset of GEO?

As AI continues to change how people search for information, a new question is being asked across the digital marketing industry:

How should we define the relationship between SEO and GEO?

Today, you'll commonly find three perspectives:

Traditional SEO experts believe GEO is part of SEO.

AI search specialists believe SEO and GEO overlap, with both playing a role in online visibility.

A modern perspective sees SEO as one component within GEO, where optimisation extends beyond search engines to include AI visibility, entity optimisation, content structure, brand authority, and how AI systems understand and recommend information.

There isn't an official industry standard that says one viewpoint is right and the others are wrong.

The graphic below represents one modern perspective on how digital visibility is evolving.

One thing is becoming increasingly clear:

Businesses are no longer optimising only for Google rankings. They're also optimising to be understood, trusted, cited, and recommended by AI-powered platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI experiences.

RIP, Odysseus. You would've loved Google Maps.

Imagine spending ten years trying to get home...

Only to discover that a navigation app could've saved you from monsters, bad restaurants, and questionable wellness centres.

It might sound like a joke, but it highlights something important.

Today, millions of people rely on Google Maps before choosing where to eat, stay, shop, or book a service.

They check reviews.

They compare ratings.

They browse photos.

They decide before they even visit a website.

If your Google Business Profile isn't actively managed, you could be missing out on customers every day.

We've turned this idea into a fun blog with a practical marketing takeaway.

If Google discourages duplicate content, why do local citations still work?

It's a question that often comes up when businesses invest in Local SEO.

After all, your business name, address, phone number, website, and even your company description may appear across multiple online directories. Doesn't that count as duplicate content?

Not quite.

Local citations serve a different purpose. They're designed to help search engines verify that a business is legitimate and that its information is accurate and consistent across the web.

That's why citations continue to be an important part of Local SEO.

The focus isn't on submitting your business to as many directories as possible. It's on maintaining accurate information in trusted, relevant business listings.

As search continues to evolve, consistent business information is becoming increasingly important—not only for traditional search engines but also for systems that rely on trusted sources to understand businesses and their locations.

In our latest Medium article, we explore why local citations continue to matter, how Google views them differently from duplicate content, and what quality citation building looks like today.

Is your social media profile helping AI recommend your business?

When people need answers today, many turn to AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude instead of traditional search engines. But here's something many businesses overlook: your social media presence can influence how trustworthy your brand appears online.

A well-managed social media profile isn't just about gaining followers. It helps build credibility through:

Consistent business information across platforms
Regular, valuable content
Genuine customer engagement
Positive reviews and conversations
Active and trustworthy brand presence

On the other hand, inactive profiles, fake followers, inconsistent business details, or ignoring customer feedback can weaken your online credibility.

As AI search continues to grow, businesses that build trust across their website, social media, and online reputation are more likely to be recognised as reliable sources.

Take a moment to review your social media profiles. Are they helping your business build trust or holding it back?

Read the full article on Medium to learn how your social media profile can impact your AI visibility.

Google Ask Maps is changing how customers find local businesses.

People can now ask more specific local questions instead of relying only on short keyword searches. That means your business information, reviews, website content, photos and citations need to work harder together.

If your local presence is incomplete or inconsistent, your business may be harder for AI-led local discovery systems to understand.
Our latest blog explains what the Ask Maps update means for Local SEO, GBP optimisation and business visibility.

Google has officially spoken about AI search and SEO — and the answer is clear:

SEO still matters. A lot.

Their latest guidance confirms that AI Overviews and generative search results still rely heavily on Google’s core ranking systems.

What actually works in 2026 👇

✅ Helpful, experience-driven content
✅ Strong technical SEO
✅ Fast and mobile-friendly websites
✅ Clear site structure
✅ Real expertise and trust signals

What DOESN’T work 👇

❌ AI gimmicks
❌ llms.txt hype
❌ Spammy GEO tactics
❌ Keyword-stuffed AI content
❌ “Hack” strategies for AI rankings

One thing stood out from Google’s update:

Generic content is becoming invisible.
Unique insights, real-world experience, and people-first content are becoming more important than ever.

If your business depends on search traffic, now is the time to rethink your content strategy before competitors catch up.

Slopification is real.

AI-generated content at scale is flooding search results with pages that look structured and confident but add little value. Google isn’t targeting AI; it’s targeting scaled content abuse and factory-style publishing.

The real shift?
Proof over volume.

If your content doesn’t contain real work, clear recommendations, and traceable sourcing, it won’t build trust.

I came across a restaurant named “Thai Food Near Me.”

It looks funny for a moment.
Then it clicks.

This isn’t a joke. It’s a business responding honestly to how people search.
And it says a lot about where local SEO and branding are heading in 2026.

This isn’t about whether “near me” keywords are dead.
It’s about the slow rise of keyword-shaped brands.

SEO didn’t die.

It stopped guaranteeing clicks.

Zero-click search means Google answers users directly — but visibility still shapes decisions.

If your brand shows up in snippets, AI results, or local listings, you’re still winning attention.

The metric that’s outdated isn’t SEO.
It’s how we measure it.
