AI Search Optimization (GEO/AEO)
People learn about brands and compare them through the answers of AI engines too. We check how your brand is presented, which questions it is mentioned in and which sources are cited, and build a plan to improve its content and digital presence.
Some call the field GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and some call it AEO (Answer Engine Optimization). Either way it's the same question: how AI engines and answer engines understand the brand, when they recommend it, and how you can influence it to be presented more often and more accurately. At CONNECT this is a full service, alongside organic search and media.
The difference between GEO/AEO and SEO
SEO aims at ranking on a results page: the goal is for the user to click your link. GEO/AEO aims at the answer itself: the goal is for the engine to mention the brand, describe it correctly and point to it. Both rest on the same foundations, such as quality content, clear site structure and authority, but they are measured differently and require different work.
- מה מודדים. In SEO you measure rankings, impressions and clicks. In GEO/AEO you measure how often the brand is mentioned, in what context, alongside which competitors and which sources the engine cites.
- איפה עובדים. In SEO the page is the destination. In GEO/AEO what is written about you off the site matters too: articles, comparison sites, reviews and forums the engines learn from.
- כמה מנועים. In SEO there is one dominant engine. In GEO/AEO every engine behaves differently, so you need to choose which engines to focus on according to your audience.

Frequently asked questions
What is GEO/AEO?
GEO/AEO (Generative Engine Optimization / Answer Engine Optimization) is a process that aims to increase the visibility and accuracy of the brand in the answers of AI engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.
Does GEO/AEO replace SEO?
No. It is built on top of it. Many AI engines rely on search results and on content from ranked sites, so a site with weak SEO will struggle to appear in their answers too.
Which engines do you work on?
Together we choose the main engines your audience uses, and focus on them. It's better to work in depth on a few relevant engines than to spread effort across all of them.
Can you control what the engine says about the brand?
You can't control it directly, but you can influence it. The engines rely on sources, and work on the quality of those sources and on the clarity of the information on the site improves the chance the brand is presented correctly.
How do you measure success?
By the brand's rate of appearance in answers to the defined questions, the context in which it is mentioned, the accuracy of the information and its position relative to competitors, over time. Every measurement records the engine, search mode, language, date and number of runs, because answers vary between checks.
