In this episode, ArtForm CEO Janet Waring and SEO Specialist Hunter Waring cut through the hype around answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO). While these buzzwords dominate marketing chatter, the hosts explain how they build on the same SEO fundamentals that have always mattered.

Janet and Hunter break down how AI overviews on Google and Bing are reshaping search results, creating zero-click experiences where users get answers without visiting your site. They highlight the importance of targeting long-tail keywords and conversational queries, since people now search by asking full questions. They also stress that a clean JSON-LD structure helps AI models interpret your content, and that concise page summaries can boost visibility in AI results.
