What Makes This Program So Special?

No one else has mastered it! From when generative AI first hit the scene, we’ve been honing and refining a winning approach, uniquely combining GEO, AEO, and SEO.

Plenty of agencies specialize in SEO. Plenty are trying to get up to speed on GEO and AEO. Arc has already been combining the best aspects of all three into a proven concoction for success.

The Purpose of a Website is Changing

Why do you need GEO and AEO and SEO? Because they all serve different and equally important purposes.

Here are some of the business challenges in the AI era:

  • Most research will occur beyond your website
  • Your story will be told with or without you
  • You’ll likely see lower website traffic and page views
  • Your structure, KPIs, and attribution must change

Now you can benefit from Arc’s careful experimentation and refinement, to craft a unique framework for achieving success specific to your unique business. We’re at the forefront of this effort, and we want you to be, too.

Change can be difficult. Answers can help.

Are GEO, AEO, and SEO different? Do you need them all? Does it replace other digital marketing efforts?

Here are important answers to commonly asked questions about the current state of search:

What are AI search and answer engines?

AI search and answer engines use generative AI technology (large language models, known as LLMs) to provide detailed conversational responses instead of the classic link-heavy results page of standard search engines. Think ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.ai.

Why do I have to worry about AI search and answer engines?

AI search and answer engines are reshaping the search landscape, which means they’re reshaping how prospects discover your offerings. While Google remains the primary search tool for many, a growing number of consumers (including, probably, you) are consulting generative AI tools for complex queries. You must ensure your brand is included in the results.

How is GEO different from AEO?

Here is an easy way to remember the difference between GEO and AEO:

GEO is intended to influence how AI answer engines retrieve, summarize, and cite content (making sure its your content they use and cite). Tactics include publishing high-authority content, optimizing for semantic clarity, and aligning with conversational queries.

AEO focuses on optimizing content to appear as direct responses in AI answer engines. The goal is to win visibility as a top answer, not just a top link. Tactics include structured content, schema markup, and clarity in answering common questions.

How do GEO and AEO differ from SEO?

SEO remains an absolutely vital foundation for building awareness and generating leads. It tends to be the best ROI of any marketing tactic.

GEO and AEO expand beyond classic SEO, particularly by leveraging platforms beyond your own website, for as many opportunities as possible to be a source for AI answer engines.

Here is a helpful analogy:

SEO is a matchmaker, GEO is a reporter, AEO is a commentator.

Do AI answer engines replace Google?

No, AI answer engines do not replace Google, but for the first time in decades, Google is experiencing genuine competition in the search market. So much so that Google has built its own AI answer engines within its classic search engine.

While not a replacement for Google, AI search is expanding the opportunity for discovery, and forward-thinking companies must adapt by being optimized for all angles.

How fast is this evolving and how do you keep up?

The pace of evolution is faster than anything the marketing industry has seen before. It changes every month, week, day. It is different the day you are reading this from yesterday.

The team at Arc Intermedia saw it coming in advance, prepared for it, and is adapting along with it every day. It is a passion, a fascination, even an obsession, and we remain at the forefront of this incredible shift.
