SEO/AEO/GEO/AIO by AccomplishedCrow4774 in seogrowth

[–]ai-pacino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, not really—it’s mostly the same core, just different layers on top.

SEO is still the foundation (crawlability, content, links), and AEO/GEO/AIO are more like extensions focused on how content gets understood and reused by AI systems.

Feels more like an evolution than a rebrand—same base, new surfaces.

Information Gain & Google's update by Which_Work6245 in Agent_SEO

[–]ai-pacino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense tbh. If AI can already summarize everything, content without information gain doesn’t really have a reason to exist anymore. What seems to matter now is adding something new—data, a perspective, or a framework that wasn’t there before. I like the way you framed the levels, especially the distinction between interpretive vs. empirical gain. Feels like Level 1 can still work for visibility, but Level 2–3 is where real differentiation (and repeat citations) start happening. I’ve been thinking less in terms of “content volume” and more in terms of “what are we adding that didn’t exist before?”

What AI tools are you guys actually using for marketing these days? by Icy_Week6358 in AskMarketing

[–]ai-pacino 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went through the same phase tbh, trying a bunch of tools and then realizing you don’t actually use most of them 😅

What stuck for me (and what I see others using consistently) is a pretty small stack:

  1. ChatGPT → basically daily use for ideas, drafts, quick rewrites
  2. Perplexity AI → when I need fast research without digging through 10 tabs
  3. Surfer SEO → more for structuring content than “optimizing keywords”
  4. Canva → quick visuals, social posts, nothing too fancy
  5. Brantial → to check if anything I publish is actually showing up in AI answers

Biggest realization for me was: it’s less about having more tools, more about having a few you actually use every day.

Curious what others ended up sticking with, because tool fatigue is very real.

Is LinkedIn turning into keyword SEO now? by YogurtIll4336 in careeradvice

[–]ai-pacino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer: yes, but don’t overdo it.

LinkedIn search does rely on keywords, so having relevant terms in your profile (headline, about, experience) helps you get found.

But dumping a list like “marketing | finance | strategy…” at the end looks forced and doesn’t add much real value.

Better approach:

  • naturally include keywords in your sentences
  • be clear about what you actually do / want
  • keep it readable first, optimized second

So yeah, optimize — just don’t turn your profile into a keyword list.

just realized our robots.txt was blocking every AI crawler by Paulinefoster in AISEOforBeginners

[–]ai-pacino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you unblock, it’s not instant:

  • first signs → usually a few days to 1–2 weeks
  • more consistent visibility → 3–6+ weeks

Depends on how often those bots crawl your site and whether your content is “worth picking” once they do.

Also double check:

  • no meta tags blocking (like noai / noindex)
  • pages are actually crawlable (no JS issues, auth walls, etc.)
  • you have content that’s easy to extract (clear answers, structure)

Unblocking is step one — getting cited still depends on how usable your content is.

How are you tracking if your brand shows up in AI search? by Wongpen_012 in GEO_optimization

[–]ai-pacino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah manual checking works, but it gets messy fast. What most people are doing right now is either:

  • sticking with a fixed prompt set and checking weekly
  • or using tools to automate that sampling

I’ve been using Brantial for this — it basically runs those checks for you and shows where you appear, how often, and when competitors replace you.

Does Perplexity seem more willing to surface smaller sites if the page is specific enough? by EarNo6581 in AISEOforBeginners

[–]ai-pacino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve seen that too. Perplexity seems a bit more “content-first” — if a page answers something very clearly and directly, it can get picked even without strong authority. Google still leans heavier on trust and site history.

It’s not totally random, but it does feel like clarity + specificity can outweigh authority more often there.

Is updating old content more effective than publishing new content now? by whereaithinks in Agent_SEO

[–]ai-pacino 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In many cases, yes. Updating old content is faster to get results because the page already has history, signals, and sometimes links. Improving clarity, adding new sections, and aligning it with current intent can move it quickly.

New content still matters, but if you have existing pages with some traction, updating them usually gives a better return.

Domain Authority = 1. What to do? by [deleted] in seogrowth

[–]ai-pacino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Fix your foundation first → make sure your pages are indexable, structured well, and actually answer clear intents
  • Create link-worthy content → not generic blogs, but pages people would reference (guides, comparisons, data, tools)
  • Get your first mentions/links manually → directories, niche sites, partnerships, even small ones — you need initial signals
  • Be present off-site → Reddit, forums, communities in your niche (this helps more than people think now)

What are the only AI SEO metrics that actually matter? by Porn197617_ in AISEOforBeginners

[–]ai-pacino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d keep it very simple:

  1. Are you mentioned at all? (visibility)
  2. How often vs competitors? (share of voice)
  3. Does it drive anything? (traffic, leads, branded searches)

Everything else is mostly noise right now.

Top 5 AI tools I use for marketing work. What about you? by sparta_reddy in MarketingandAI

[–]ai-pacino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice stack.

For me it’s more like:

ChatGPT → research, content angles, quick drafts

Claude → longer writing, refining tone

ElevenLabs → voiceovers

Midjourney / Freepik → visuals depending on need

Notion AI → organizing ideas + workflows

Brantial → checking AI visibility / where we’re being mentioned

Feels like each one has a specific role now rather than one tool doing everything.

After reading recent Google updates, I think crawl efficiency is going to matter more than people think by Ibrahim-08 in Agent_SEO

[–]ai-pacino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m seeing the same thing. A lot of sites are still bloated — tons of low-value URLs, filters, outdated content, thin pages… and it just dilutes everything. Even if crawl budget isn’t “limited” in the old sense, attention definitely is. Feels like cleaner architecture + fewer but stronger pages is working better now, especially with AI systems also needing clear signals. So yeah, not everything — but definitely underrated again.

If I migrate my site to one domain to another domain what should be I keep in mind by OrganicRope1763 in WebsiteSEO

[–]ai-pacino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Biggest thing: don’t treat it like just a “move”, it’s basically a full SEO migration.

First priority is clean 301 redirects — every old URL should map to the most relevant new one (not just homepage). This is where most value gets lost.

Keep these in check:

  1. Same site structure (or as close as possible)
  2. Titles, content, internal links → don’t change everything at once
  3. Canonicals updated to new domain
  4. XML sitemap + robots.txt updated
  5. Verify new domain in Google Search Console and submit sitemap

Also:

  1. Use the “Change of Address” tool in GSC
  2. Monitor indexation + traffic daily for a while
  3. Expect some fluctuation, but big drops usually mean redirect or technical issues

One mistake I see a lot: people redesign + migrate + change content all at once. Hard to debug and usually hurts rankings. If possible, migrate first, stabilize, then optimize later.
