Plain English
AEO is still SEO
AEO is a useful name for work focused on AI-assisted search, but it is not a separate set of magic tactics. Google's own guidance says its generative search features use the same core ranking and quality systems as Search, with no special optimisation required.
That makes the job refreshingly practical. Create something useful, make it available to crawlers, connect it clearly to the rest of the site, and give the visitor a good experience. The answer surface is newer, but the website still has to deserve discovery.
You can read Google's guidance for generative AI search or see my Webflow SEO work for the platform-specific implementation.
