15. AEO & GEO Handbook 2026 – Summary

“SEO is dying – and if your content isn’t showing up in the answer, not just under it, you’re already invisible. This free handbook shows you how to win visibility in the era of AI-powered search.”

That’s it. You’re now fluent in AEO. Or at least… more fluent than 99% of the internet.

In closing: AEO isn’t just a new tactic – it’s a shift in how visibility, credibility, and traffic will flow across the web in the years ahead.

Use this glossary when things get fuzzy. Come back to the roadmap when you’re unsure what to do next. And most importantly – keep testing, keep listening, and keep helping others find real answers in a noisy world.
