SEO vs AEO vs GEO for B2B in AI era?
SEO remains the foundation for B2B organic growth, but AEO and GEO are now required to win visibility in AI answers and summaries. SEO targets traditional search rankings, AEO focuses on AI-powered answer systems like ChatGPT and Claude, while GEO targets generative engines including Google AI Overviews and Gemini. Many B2B buyers now ask ChatGPT for partner shortlists before visiting your site, so you need to rank for being cited, not just found. Keep technical SEO and content quality, then add structured Q&A sections and citation-ready pages with clear statistics so AI systems can quote you directly. See our AEO strategy for B2B organic growth to measure AI visibility alongside traditional metrics.
