The way we search online has completely changed. We’re not just typing random keywords anymore. Now we’re asking full questions like “What’s the best way to grow my small business online” or “How do I start a brand from scratch” and we’re asking them to tools like ChatGPT Google’s AI search and Perplexity. And this shift is changing how content works.

That’s where AEO and GEO come in. AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It means writing content that directly answers what people are asking in a simple clear way. GEO or Generative Engine Optimization takes it a step further by making sure your brand shows up in those AI-generated answers summaries and responses that people trust more and more every day.

So what should you be doing? Focus on writing helpful content. Keep things clear honest and valuable. FAQs tutorials quick tips and real examples work really well. The easier your content is to understand the better chance it has of being picked up by AI tools.

In 2025 it’s not just about showing up on a search page anymore. It’s about becoming the actual answer someone sees and trusts first. If you want your brand to stand out this is where your content needs to go next.
