Frequently Asked Questions About SEO, AEO & GEO

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) improves your ranking in traditional search results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) focuses on getting your content extracted as a direct, quoted answer. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) focuses on getting your brand named and recommended inside AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Most Irish businesses now need all three working together — see our SEO, AEO and GEO pages.

Most Irish businesses see meaningful ranking movement within 3 to 6 months, with compounding results building over 6 to 12 months. Timelines depend on competition, current site health, and how much authority your domain already has.

Yes. Local and niche intent searches are often far less competitive than national head terms, and AI answer engines frequently favour specific, well-sourced expertise over sheer domain size. A focused strategy can outperform a much bigger competitor on the searches that actually convert.

You need to run structured test queries across each platform and track whether your brand is mentioned, cited, or recommended, since these results aren't visible in tools like Google Search Console. Agile Digital Strategy's free SEO & AI Search Visibility Check includes this testing as a starting point.
