AEO & GEO: Be The Brand Buyers Ask For
Quick question: if nearly 60% of searches never click, why optimize only for blue links? That’s why SmartFinds Marketing uses AEO & GEO to place you in the zero-scroll answer, ultimately turning intent into pipeline.
Meanwhile, as AI Overviews roll out, many publishers report a 1–25% decline in Google referrals. Being an AI SEO Agency, we turn those lost clicks into conversions. So do you want your brand to be recommended by AI, or replaced by it?

GEO Is Not the Future, It’s Now!
Search has already evolved. In fact, AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google SGE aren’t just augmenting traditional search; rather they’re redefining how people find information, products, and solutions. As a result, in this new era, visibility doesn’t come from page rank alone; it comes from being part of the answer.
That’s the core of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): ensuring your brand shows up in the right context, at the right time, inside AI-generated results. Read our latest blog on SEO and AI: How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Search Rankings.
Why Artificial Intelligence in Digital Marketing?
We’re in an era where AI has become as indispensable as our smartphones. In many ways, it’s more like that friendly librarian who knows just the right book to recommend.
Whether it’s the social media algorithms shaping our feeds to reflect our tastes or chatbots and virtual assistants anticipating our needs, AI has become a core aspect of our daily operations. In fact, it’s there, working behind the scenes, often unnoticed, yet profoundly shaping how we interact with the digital world around us.
So delaying your adoption of AI marketing could mean falling behind your competitors.
Here’s something to think about: Over 80% of industry professionals are incorporating AI technology into their online marketing strategies. Are you part of the 20% still holding back?
Another research shows that $107 billion is the global market revenue forecast for AI in marketing in 2028.
