AEO "experts" are so unserious.
Mfs will literally say: structure your content for AEO and rank overnight!
instead of: spending your time figuring out how these brands got so popular, well known, established, loved, linked/mentioned across the entire web, etc.
If it's as simple as structuring pages a way that AI prefers, why do only a few brands get mentioned and not every brand that structures its content a certain way?
Because it's not what actually matters.
Structuring your content for retrieval, answering common questions, targeting the long tail...legit folks doing legit SEO have been doing this for ages lol.
It's not a moat. Nor is it a "way to rank" or "way to get cited faster"
It's literally just a baseline, and takes 5 seconds of logical thought to understand that it's the same exact problem as Google:
Demand far outweighs supply.
The demand to rank in Google or get mentioned by AI for searches and prompts is extremely high. Every brand wants to be the answer.
The supply is low:
- 10 blue links, max, often less, and only the top 3 matter, if that.
- just a few brands mentioned by AI as solutions for any given prompt
It's simple logic: if 100 brands want to be shown for a prompt, and they all structure their content a certain way that AEO experts claim AI prefers....it's a baseline to optimize for, and it's correlation, not causation.
Sorry but you are not going to out-visibility a competitor by changing headings and chunking your page.
What people are actually noticing is that the best brands who already rank and get mentioned just happen to do this naturally as it's a good way to structure content for readability regardless of what engine you're optimizing for.
So you're 100x better off spending your time figuring out how these brands got so popular, well known, established, loved, linked/metioned across the entire web, etc.
(btw, do you really believe AI won't find info if you don't specifically structure it to a certain style...it can literally develop new life saving medication in days on its own that took researchers 20 years btw)
Stop missing the forest for the trees with AEO.
"I’m not entirely sure what I witnessed (let alone learned) at Brighton SEO.
Marketers are creating processes to replace content writing that take longer than the content writing.
And produce worse results."
LinkedIn post from Dominic Kent, sharing experience of attending recent Brighton SEO conference!

@MarcLobliner If men cannot have a say in abortion then why do people who pay no tax have a say in tax policy via their vote?
And why do non gun owners get to vote on gun control?
The whole premise is illogical from the jump.
SEO/GEO space always makes me laugh. Here is a snippet from landing page from people who claim to be the world's foremost experts on AI search.
"AI visibility can shift, so best practices are not enough. The path forward requires:
Content strategy built for retrieval
Testing and measurement
Authority-building and digital PR
Technical SEO that scales
Cross-team coordination
Platform-specific intelligence
Executive-level reporting
Consistent execution over time"
The same folks will go on to shame people on socials about how they are stuck in the past doing old school stuff.
Can't make it up.
It’s death by a thousand cuts right now tbh.
Ai search
Attribution is now dog shit across SEO and ai and rank trackers blow
Zero click searches even on your own brand now
Vibe coding is impacting saas growth
Thus, layoffs, tightened budgets, more scrutiny on spend
Funding is harder to get since companies are growing less…
Capital is expensive due to interest rates
More people are claiming to be experts and selling services for SEO and GEO because it’s a new wave
Etc etc etc
@scottastevenson Carbs are basically a PED I’ve been saying it. People are too afraid of carbs when they should be afraid of carbs and fats combined which results in almost all hyper-palatable foods people overeat.
I contributed to @userp_io's State of Backlinks 2027 survey of 116 SEO leaders.
» 81.9% say inbound links influence AI citations overall, and 87.1% would keep building links even if Google turned them off as a ranking signal
» And 46.6% have documented a backlink leading directly to an LLM citation, with before-and-after evidence
» Digital PR is the strongest tactic for 53.4% of respondents, while guest posting topped the most overused list at 40.5%. That lines up with what I see in ecommerce and SaaS
The full survey findings are definitely worth a read if you're planning your 2027 link strategy 👇
Great work from the uSERP team, and thanks @jmoserr for inviting me to share my input.
@natmiletic The state of cold outreach is fucking depressing lol. Get a dozen of these per day that just make no sense whatsoever.
“Would it help if we got you more clients”
Nah bro more money would suck!
Another day another Ahrefs report saying you’re ranking #1 for X keyword but you actually aren’t even on the first page and they’re just lying 🤷♂️
Unusable at this point. Almost never accurate.
@Bartek_Kamyk_ Preach. Peeps are so dogmatic these days. If you have trouble staying full, try potatoes and drop rice. If rice is fine for you, just keep eating rice. Not rocket science, just do what works for you!
