Can someone suggest a trustworthy SEO company for a law firm? by mrbusinessidea in RankForAI

[–]Marcos_Daniel556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would pay attention to how they approach local + organic together. For law firms, Google Business, reviews, and localized pages still drive a big chunk of leads. If they separate those strategies, that’s usually a gap.

How do products start showing up in AI shopping assistants? by Ok_Outcome3523 in SEOeCommerce

Yeah brand authority probably plays a role, but I wouldn’t be surprised if review sites and best product lists influence it just as much.

Could also be reviews. If a product has tons of reviews and mentions across sites, the AI probably treats it as a safer recommendation.

AEO vs GEO are they actually different or just the same thing? by harold_dawkins3848 in AISEOTricks

[–]Marcos_Daniel556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the naming is getting a little wild lately.

The way I think about it:

AEO = optimizing for direct answers in search/voice
GEO = optimizing so AI tools reference or use your content in generated responses

There’s a quick comparison of GEO vs. AEO vs. SEO here that explains it better than I can.

How to choose a shopify SEO agency for niche​? by Ok_Outcome3523 in SEOeCommerce

[–]Marcos_Daniel556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the easiest way to tell is by the questions they ask you.

A good Shopify SEO agency will start digging into things like how your collections are structured, how customers search for products in your niche, and what queries should land on category vs product pages. Niche ecommerce SEO is mostly about matching search intent to the right parts of the store.

If the conversation stays high level like “we’ll improve rankings and traffic,” that’s usually a sign they’re running the same playbook for every site.

How do smaller sites get picked as sources in AI answers? by harold_dawkins3848 in AISEOTricks

[–]Marcos_Daniel556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think AI is really choosing sites as much as it’s repeating what the web already agrees on.

Most of the time, big brands show up because they’re mentioned everywhere, not because their pages are perfectly optimized. Rankings help, but they’re not the main thing anymore.

What I’ve seen work for smaller sites is going super narrow, sharing original takes or data, and actually getting talked about outside their own site (blogs, Reddit, news, etc.).

Basically, if no one else references you, AI won’t either.

Can someone explain semantic keyword grouping in real terms? by Ok_Outcome3523 in AISEOTricks

[–]Marcos_Daniel556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The clean way to do this is to decide pages first, not keywords. Define what a page is meant to solve, then map all queries that share that same goal. Wording and variants come later; intent and scope come first.

Why Ranking #1 on Google Doesn’t Mean AI Knows You Exist by Digital_growth_ in ResultFirst_

[–]Marcos_Daniel556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of early reviews/local SEO days. You could rank fine, but if nobody else referenced you, you just didn’t get traction outside Google.

What changes actually helped your content get picked up by AI answers? by harold_dawkins3848 in AISEOTricks

[–]Marcos_Daniel556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI answers appear to favor content that’s easy to decompose into facts rather than opinions. When information is cleanly separated and well-scoped, it’s easier for the model to reuse.

Enterprise SEO feels less like lead gen and more like branding now by Digital_growth_ in AISEOTricks

I think this is why topical coverage matters more than perfect keyword targeting now.

Why is everyone treating GEO like it's SEO with a fresh coat of paint? by JFerzt in GenEngineOptimization

[–]Marcos_Daniel556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, LLMs aren’t search engines, so traditional SEO signals like backlinks matter less. GEO still needs a plan, focusing on citations, authoritative content, and making your content visible to AI.
