Traditional SEO isn't dead. But it changed. Today SEO isn't just "ranking in Google". It's much more.
The 4 online discovery channels
1. Google Search
Still important. But Google changed: now shows AI Overview at the top. If you're not in the top 3, you're invisible.
2. AI Overview (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI)
ChatGPT has 100M+ weekly users. Perplexity has 10M+. If your content isn't in training data, you don't appear when someone asks an AI.
3. Google Maps + Local Search
"Analytics for agencies in London". If you don't rank locally, competitors do.
4. Communities (Reddit, Quora, Discord)
People ask specific questions in communities. If you answer well, you get clients.
SEO-GEO is the discipline
SEO-GEO optimizes for all 4 channels. It's not content bombardment. It's a coordinated content strategy answering specific questions in specific places.
For Google: Semantic clusters. If you rank "sustainable CAC", you need 5-10 related articles: "how to reduce CAC", "CAC formula", "CAC benchmark by industry".
For AI: Content that answers the full question. AI extracts short answers. If your article is "5 tips for sustainable CAC", it's perfect. If it's "our agency is amazing", AI won't use it.
For Local: Map your city, create specific content "Growth for SaaS in London", get local reviews.
For Communities: Answer real questions on Reddit/Quora. No promotion. Useful answers.
