AI SEO is the practice of utilizing artificial intelligence tools and machine learning algorithms to automate, scale, and optimize search engine marketing strategies.
AI SEO comprises two key domains:
1. AI-Assisted Optimization: Using AI tools to analyze keywords, write content, map sites, and cluster semantic topics for traditional search.
2. Optimizing for AI Engines (AEO/GEO): Tuning your website so that generative AI search engines cite and recommend your brand.
