What is the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO?

SEO targets traditional search engine rankings (Google, Bing). AEO targets featured snippets, People Also Ask, and voice assistant answers. GEO targets AI-generated responses in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Together, they cover every way your customers search for marine products and services.

How long does it take to see SEO results?

Most marine businesses see measurable improvements within 3–4 months (technical fixes and quick wins), with significant traffic growth at 6–12 months. SEO is a compounding investment — results accelerate over time as domain authority builds.

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO ensures your marine business is cited by AI platforms when users ask questions about your industry, products, or services. It involves building strong entity signals, E-E-A-T credibility, and structured content that AI can reliably extract and attribute to your brand.

Do I need all three (SEO + AEO + GEO)?

SEO is the foundation — you need it regardless. AEO and GEO build on that foundation. We recommend starting with SEO + AEO (they share 80% of the work), then layering GEO as your content authority grows. All three disciplines reinforce each other.

How do you measure AI visibility?

We track AI citation rates (how often your brand appears in AI-generated answers), referral traffic from AI platforms, entity recognition coverage, and brand mention frequency. Tools like Ahrefs and custom monitoring scripts help us measure GEO performance alongside traditional SEO metrics.

What marine-specific keywords do you target?

We research 200–500 keywords per engagement, including product-specific terms (e.g., "center console boats for sale"), service queries ("marine electronics installation near me"), comparison searches ("Yamaha vs Mercury outboard"), and informational queries ("how to winterize a boat"). The strategy is tailored to your specific marine niche.

Overview

What is marine SEO, GEO, and AEO?

Marine SEO, GEO, and AEO are three complementary disciplines that ensure your marine business appears across every search surface. SEO drives traditional Google/Bing rankings. AEO targets featured snippets, voice search, and People Also Ask boxes. GEO ensures AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite your business as a trusted source. Together, they deliver comprehensive search visibility for boat manufacturers, marine technology companies, and marine retailers.
