Today, AI SEO, or GEO (Answer Engine Optimization), is a hot topic. In short, it's about getting AI search engines to cite your website first. Given the AI trend, GEO's popularity is no surprise.
But for most small and medium-sized businesses, mastering traditional SEO is enough and often the better path. GoodsFox's data confirms this. SEO tools dominate the hot rankings.
Websites offering services like SEO analysis (e.g., semrush.com), short links (t.ly), and conversion-focused site builders (funnel.perspective.co) are common on these lists. Why? Because every online business activity starts with a search.

Website optimization services for conversions have stable global demand. This is true across industries and regions. Even with AI, clear, well-structured content remains key for indexing.
GEO, in essence, is built on the foundation of traditional SEO. The traffic entry point has simply changed. In the past, you fought for search engine rankings. Now, AI reads your site directly. Users get the answer without even clicking.
However, there's a key blind spot: the value of informational content clicks is shrinking.
Value-driven content has a higher chance of retaining users. The future of user retention isn't just about providing information. It’s about offering opinions, experiences, and solutions.
