AI search collapses “ten blue links” into one synthesized answer. If ChatGPT/Gemini/Perplexity can't access, parse, and trust your content, you vanish — even with strong traditional SEO.
Crawlers & access
OpenAI's GPTBot and Google's Gemini/GSC-linked crawlers need permission and renderability
Structure
Schema/JSON-LD, canonical tags, and entity links make your content machine-readable
Answer format
Short, verifiable claims + sources get quoted

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How is AEO different from GEO?
AEO targets answer inclusion and citations inside AI responses. GEO ensures AI crawlers can access your pages and that your content is structured and credible so inclusion is possible.
Q2: What metrics prove this works?
Track Inclusion Rate (appearance in answers), Citation Share (attributed sources per 100 answers), and Model Coverage (ChatGPT/Gemini/Perplexity).
Q3: Do we need schema if we already have great content?
Yes. Schema, canonical facts, sameAs, and author/date metadata make your content machine-legible — a prerequisite for trust and citation.
Q4: Can we run Search Atlas and Cleversearch together?
Absolutely. Search Atlas strengthens SERP performance; Cleversearch optimizes your site to be seen, understood, and cited by AI engines.
