The questions we hear every week about SEO, AEO and GEO

SEO earns rankings on traditional results pages. AEO (answer engine optimization) structures content so search engines quote it directly in featured snippets, People Also Ask and AI Overviews. GEO (generative engine optimization) influences how large language models such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini describe and recommend your brand. They overlap heavily, which is why we run them as one program.

Yes. AI answers are assembled largely from pages that already rank and sources that already carry authority. Strong technical and content SEO is the entry ticket. AEO and GEO decide whether the answer carries your name.

We maintain a prompt set built from the real questions people ask and test it monthly across the major models, logging whether you are mentioned, how you are described, which competitors appear and which sources are cited. That becomes a share-of-answer trend line alongside your traditional rankings.

Technical fixes and schema usually show movement in 4 to 8 weeks. Content and authority work builds over 3 to 6 months. AI citation shifts tend to follow authority shifts, so we set expectations by quarter and report monthly.

Yes. Most engagements run on the client’s existing WordPress or headless stack. We deliver implementation-ready specs and can execute directly when you want us to.

Either. Our writers and strategists can own the full calendar, or we can brief and edit your in-house team. Many clients split it, with SSG owning pillar and conversion pages and the client team owning news and culture content.

Tightly. PR placements become GEO citations. Creative becomes the assets that earn links and engagement. Paid media fills the gaps while organic builds. One story, every channel.
