Topics We Cover
In-depth analysis across the four key areas of AI search optimization — from emerging GEO strategies to the companies building the tools and platforms that power the industry.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)
The New Frontier of Search Optimization
Generative Engine Optimization is the practice of optimizing content and digital presence so that large language models cite, quote, and recommend a brand in their generated responses. It is arguably the most consequential shift in search marketing since the rise of Google itself — and it is still in its earliest stages. That combination of enormous stakes and rapid evolution is exactly why GEO sits at the center of our editorial coverage.
We cover GEO because no other discipline in marketing is moving this fast with this little established consensus. The rules are being written in real time: what works on ChatGPT may not work on Perplexity; a strategy that earns citations on Gemini might be invisible to Claude. Our reporting cuts through the noise to explain what actually drives AI citation, which tactics are backed by evidence, and which are recycled SEO assumptions dressed up in new language.
Our GEO coverage spans platform-specific strategies, citation optimization methodologies, content formatting for LLM consumption, and competitive displacement analysis. We test claims, interview practitioners, and publish the kind of detailed tactical breakdowns that marketers can actually use — not surface-level trend pieces.
Whether you are a brand trying to understand why you are absent from AI-generated answers, an agency building a GEO practice, or a solo practitioner looking to stay ahead, our coverage is designed to give you the clearest possible picture of what works, what does not, and where the field is headed.

AI SEO
Search Optimization for the AI Era
Search engine optimization is not dead — but it is undergoing the most fundamental transformation in its history. Google's AI Overviews now synthesize answers directly in the search results. Bing Copilot generates multi-source responses. Users increasingly get the information they need without clicking a single link. The discipline of SEO has to evolve to meet this new reality, and that evolution is what we call AI SEO.
We cover AI SEO because the gap between traditional SEO advice and what actually works in an AI-mediated search landscape is growing wider by the month. Entity-based optimization, structured data strategy, E-E-A-T signal engineering, and semantic content clustering are no longer optional extras — they are foundational requirements for brands that want to remain visible in search results that are increasingly generated rather than ranked.
Our coverage tracks how AI Overviews are reshaping click-through rates, which structured data implementations actually influence AI-generated results, and how the relationship between content authority and search visibility is being redefined. We analyze algorithm updates through the lens of AI integration, compare traditional SEO performance against AI SEO outcomes, and publish the technical deep dives that practitioners need to adapt their strategies.
If you work in search marketing, our AI SEO coverage will help you understand which parts of your existing practice still hold, which need to be rethought, and which entirely new capabilities you need to develop.

- AI Overview targeting strategies
- Entity-based content architecture
- Structured data optimization
- E-E-A-T signal engineering

LLM Monitoring & Brand Intelligence
Tracking Brand Visibility Across AI Platforms
What large language models say about your brand is becoming as important as what Google ranks for your keywords. When a potential customer asks ChatGPT for a recommendation in your category, the response they receive shapes their perception and purchasing behavior — and you may have no idea what that response actually says. LLM monitoring is the emerging discipline of tracking, analyzing, and influencing how AI systems represent brands, products, and organizations.
We cover LLM monitoring because it is one of the fastest-growing and most misunderstood areas of the AI search ecosystem. A wave of new tools and platforms has entered the market, each claiming to offer visibility into AI-generated brand mentions, but the capabilities, methodologies, and reliability of these solutions vary enormously. Our editorial mission is to cut through the marketing claims and help readers understand what these tools actually do, how they work, and which ones deliver real value.
Our coverage includes hallucination detection — how brands can identify and respond when AI models make false claims about their products or capabilities. We analyze sentiment tracking methodologies, competitive share-of-voice measurement across AI platforms, and the enterprise monitoring strategies that large organizations are beginning to deploy. Tool and platform reviews are a core part of our LLM monitoring coverage, giving readers honest assessments of the solutions available in the market.
For any organization that cares about brand reputation, our LLM monitoring coverage provides the context and analysis needed to navigate a landscape where AI models are becoming primary information gatekeepers.
Key Coverage Areas
- Brand mention tracking methodologies
- Sentiment analysis across LLMs
- Hallucination detection techniques
- Competitive share-of-voice analysis
- Platform-by-platform monitoring
- Tool and platform reviews
- Enterprise monitoring strategies
- Real-time alert best practices
Industry Landscape
Companies, Tools, and Trends Shaping AI Search
The AI search optimization industry is being built in real time. New companies are launching GEO platforms, monitoring tools, and AI search analytics solutions at a pace that makes it difficult for practitioners and buyers to keep up. Funding rounds, acquisitions, product launches, and strategic pivots happen monthly. Our industry coverage exists to make sense of it all.
We track the companies building the tools and platforms that power the GEO and AI SEO ecosystem. That means deep-dive reviews of individual products, head-to-head comparisons that go beyond feature checklists, and annual roundups that map the competitive landscape of each category. We also cover the business side of the industry: funding announcements, M&A activity, and the strategic moves that signal where the market is headed.
Our emerging startup spotlights highlight the new entrants worth watching — companies with novel approaches, strong technical foundations, or unique market positioning. Agency landscape analysis covers the growing number of firms building AI search practices and how the service model is evolving. Practitioner interviews bring the perspective of the people doing the actual work: the strategists, engineers, and marketers who are figuring out AI search optimization in the trenches.
Whether you are evaluating tools for your organization, considering a career in AI search marketing, or simply trying to understand the forces shaping this industry, our landscape coverage gives you the comprehensive, unbiased view that press releases and vendor marketing cannot provide.
