AI SEO
How AI SEO extends—not replaces—technical SEO, content quality, and measurement for teams.
AI SEO here means adapting your search program for both classic ranking systems and AI-mediated discovery (summaries, assistants, and partner integrations).
Keep the fundamentals
- Crawlable HTML, sensible internal links, and accurate metadata
- Core Web Vitals and accessible markup
- Documented redirect and canonical policy
None of that goes away because a user asked a chatbot instead of typing a query.
Add AI-specific lenses
- Entity clarity — consistent product names, pricing disclaimers, and support contacts
- Quotable answers — tie to AEO
- Corpus hygiene — retire outdated PDFs and orphan landing pages models might ingest
- llms.txt — optional discovery file; see llms.txt explained
- GEO framing — see What is GEO?
Governance
Assign an owner for factual claims on public pages. AI search amplifies errors as easily as strengths.
Roll out concepts with SEO training for teams.
