AI SEO Glossary 2026: The New Language of Search Optimization
As AI continues to transform how people find information, the world of SEO is evolving faster than ever. Traditional keyword optimization is no longer enough — Google, ChatGPT, and Perplexity now generate answers instead of just ranking links.
To stay visible, brands need to understand the new vocabulary of AI-driven search — from Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) to Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Large Language Model Optimization (LLMO).
At D&D SEO Services, we built this glossary to help business owners, marketers, and SEOs navigate this new landscape with confidence.
