SEO, AEO, and GEO: What's the Difference?
Response Lens AI covers all three layers of modern search visibility. Understanding the difference is the first step to dominating AI search.
SEO
Search Engine Optimization
Optimizing your website to rank in traditional Google, Bing, and Yahoo search results. Focuses on keywords, backlinks, page speed, and on-page signals.
Tools: Google Search Console, Ahrefs, SEMrush
AEO
Answer Engine Optimization
Structuring content so AI systems extract and cite your business in featured snippets, Google AI Overviews, and voice search responses. Requires FAQ schema, direct answer blocks, and structured data.
Tools: Response Lens AI, FAQPage schema, sr-only blocks
GEO
Generative Engine Optimization
Ensuring your brand appears in AI-generated responses from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. Requires llm.txt, entity authority signals, and third-party citation building.
Tools: Response Lens AI, llm.txt, entity schema
Response Lens AI analyzes and provides recommendations across all three layers, the only tool built specifically for this purpose by a local AI consulting firm.
Who Uses Response Lens AI
Any business that wants to appear in AI-generated search results, from Northern Michigan realtors to HVAC contractors to B2B companies.
Real Estate Agencies
"AI for real estate agents in Northern Michigan"
The Problem
NorMI and Aaron Kendall dominate the Google AI Overview for Northern Michigan real estate queries. Brokerages are invisible.
Response Lens Solution
Run the query through Response Lens to see exactly what content signals are driving NorMI's citations, then implement the recommendations to displace them.
HVAC Contractors
"best HVAC company in Traverse City"
The Problem
AI models cite large national brands or competitors with better-structured content, even when local contractors have better reviews.
Response Lens Solution
Response Lens reveals the schema, FAQ structure, and content patterns that would make AI models cite your local HVAC business instead.
Local Service Businesses
"plumber near me Traverse City" or "roofing contractor Northern Michigan"
The Problem
Local businesses spend on Google Ads but are invisible in AI-generated responses, which are increasingly the first thing consumers see.
Response Lens Solution
Response Lens benchmarks your current AI visibility and produces a specific action plan to appear in AI Overviews and LLM responses.
B2B Companies
"AI consulting firm Traverse City" or "business automation Michigan"
The Problem
B2B buyers increasingly use AI assistants to research vendors. Companies without AEO/GEO optimization are not in the consideration set.
Response Lens Solution
Response Lens identifies which competitor content signals are driving AI citations and generates the master prompt to guide your content strategy.
