Do you think it could live under either Search engine optimization or Artificial intelligence optimization? Dflovett (talk) 14:40, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts on merging this page with "Artificial intelligence optimization"

[edit]

Right now, these are essentially conveying the same narrative, with different naming conventions. It could also make sense to merge both under "search engine optimization" Dflovett (talk) 20:23, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm concerned with Artificial intelligence optimization distinguishing the concept from GEO in the lead. That article is also in a sorry state, from a quick glance it has been REFBOMBed with random sites relating to AI/LLMs, but which do not verify the claims. It also repeats the laughable claim that GenAI prioritizes "factual accuracy", which I would politely call "FM".
I'm not convinced there is a difference between AIO, AEO, and GEO. They all seem to be rushed attempts to stake a "successor" term for SEO. My preference would be to delete both of these articles, with a new one being written from the ground up if/when one term is settled on and good sourcing exists, but I know our ChatGPT-incumbered editing contingent won't let us be so patient.

I agree completely and think all of this could live under "SEO" in a new section. Dflovett (talk) 13:24, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that AI optimization and GEO are completely different things. SEO and GEO are also completely different things.
AI Optimization = Making AI or business processes smarter
GEO = Making your content more visible to AI tools that generate responses UploadPanda (talk) 03:02, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
According to the Artificial intelligence optimization article, AIO is "also known as Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), which targets AI-powered systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews that provide direct responses to user queries. AEO emphasizes content structure, factual accuracy and schema markup to ensure AI systems can effectively cite and reference material when generating answers." Which sounds like GEO would be a subset of, with GEO only focused on content visibility inside of those. Dflovett (talk) 16:23, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
