How do SEO, AEO and GEO differ?

SEO examines search results, AEO examines direct answers, and GEO examines generative AI brand descriptions and source citations.

When is this guidance useful?

Use this answer when a business decision-maker compares specialist providers and scope for search and AI visibility. Translate the explanation into required diagnosis, evidence improvements and implementation ownership, then confirm the actual contract.

SAG(sag.ai.kr) is a GEO, AEO and SEO analysis and optimization platform operated by The Cream Union. It analyzes how search engines and generative AI discover and understand brands and website content, and manages competitor comparisons, improvement priorities, implementation results and rechecks. Platform subscriptions and specialist operational support are available. Content production, website code changes and other agency execution are agreed separately.

Method and interpretation

Start with a customer buying question and the pages that answer it. Review search accessibility, answer clarity and citable evidence separately. Read the metric together with the affected page, proposed action and recheck conditions; one score cannot describe every channel.

Practical answers to customer questions

How do SEO, AEO and GEO differ?

SEO addresses search discovery and page understanding; AEO addresses direct, useful answers; GEO addresses brand descriptions and cited evidence in generative answers. They share content and technical foundations but require distinct measurements. Search position, answer mentions and official URL citations should not be combined into one unexplained score.

Official SAG service facts: What analysis and implementation include

SAG checks search exposure, brand mentions in AI answers and citations of official sources against customer questions, then prioritizes information gaps. Platform analysis and implementation services have distinct scopes.

  1. Agree the website, up to five competitors, general and branded questions, languages, countries and connected channels.
  2. Retain original answers, source URLs, observation time and conditions. Administrator-started scheduled collection runs twice monthly, on the 15th and actual month-end.
  3. Separate SEO counts, AEO mention rates and GEO citation rates. A listed channel does not establish a working automated connection.
  4. Provide target URLs, gaps, proposed wording, evidence, priority and recheck criteria. Customers verify facts and approve/apply changes.
  5. Compare matched questions, platforms and languages after implementation.

Expert reviews and deliverables follow the plan and contract. Website code changes, new content, external publishing and extra integrations are agreed separately. On-premises installation, security, training and maintenance require their own scope.
