      "question": "What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?",
      "answer": "SEO makes a page crawlable, understandable and authoritative enough to rank in a search engine's results; AEO makes it the source a system quotes when it answers a question directly, in featured snippets, People Also Ask and AI Overviews; GEO gets a brand named inside a generated answer from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Perplexity. They are layers built in that order, not rivals.",

      "question": "How do you get a brand cited by ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity?",
      "answer": "Ranking first in Google no longer guarantees a citation, because retrieval systems judge content differently from rankers. The checklist: make the entity unmistakable, give models clean passages to lift, build topical authority the model has already seen, earn mentions on sites the model ingested, keep facts current, and measure LLM referrals separately.",

Topic cluster architecture, a pillar page with clusters linked deliberately, concentrates authority so it pools in one place instead of scattering.",
