   AEO or GEO New Strategy or Fancy Scam Words

   In this episode of SEO Kwentuhan, Gab and Gelo talk about AEO and GEO and whether these are real new strategies or just rebranded SEO terms. They discuss AI search, ChatGPT visibility, client expectations, traditional SEO fundamentals, and what SEO practitioners should really focus on as search behavior continues to change. Transcript Summary 00:01 - 00:51 Gelo opens the episode by introducing the topic AEO or GEO and asks whether these are real new strategies or just new buzzwords in SEO. Gab mentions that terms like AEO, GEO, and AIO are becoming common not only on social media but also among clients. 00:51 - 02:35 Gab shares that almost all of his clients now ask about AEO and GEO. He also mentions that many job posts already require experience with AI Overviews and LLM optimization. He explains that these terms started gaining popularity around the rise of ChatGPT search, and at first he saw them as buzzwords used for marketing. But over time, the demand became real because clients started looking for these services. 02:35 - 04:16 Gelo talks about how clients now use ChatGPT themselves and ask why their businesses are not appearing in AI search results. Gab says he still prefers traditional Google search and does not fully trust AI Overviews unless the result provides a proper step-by-step guide. If the AI answer is lacking, he checks the sources directly. 04:17 - 07:12 Gab explains the difference between traditional SEO, AEO, and GEO. Traditional SEO focuses on ranking websites in blue link search results. AEO or Answer Engine Optimization focuses on becoming the answer shown in AI Overviews and different search formats like videos, images, and shopping results. GEO or Generative Engine Optimization focuses on visibility inside AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Perplexity. Gab explains that even brand mentions without links can help GEO visibility. 07:12 - 11:36 Gelo asks if there is real evidence that AEO or GEO works. Gab shares examples from e-commerce clients where traffic and conversions from ChatGPT or AI tools can already be tracked through UTM parameters and WooCommerce data. However, he also admits that proving exact queries and causation is still difficult. Both hosts agree that many so-called GEO strategies still resemble traditional SEO practices and that the industry is still heavily experimenting. 11:37 - 15:59 Gab says there is still no solid checklist for GEO or AEO because most successful case studies still rely on traditional SEO foundations. He shares that brand mentions and Reddit engagement seem to influence AI visibility. Gelo adds that original studies and datasets can increase the chances of being cited by LLMs. Gab also explains that social media mentions may influence how AI tools recognize and cite brands. 16:27 - 18:40 The conversation shifts to agencies calling themselves AEO or GEO specialists. Gab honestly says many agencies are simply using these labels because the demand already exists. From his perspective, the work is still largely SEO, but clients are actively searching for these services because they want visibility inside AI tools. 18:40 - 21:36 Gelo asks whether SEO practitioners should start studying AEO and GEO. Gab explains that fundamentals still matter the most. Traditional SEO remains the foundation, especially for beginners. He says AI automation and AI workflows are a different skill set compared to offering SEO as a service. 21:36 - 26:14 The hosts discuss the future of content websites in the AI era. They talk about how many purely content-based websites are losing traffic or getting de-indexed, while real businesses and strong brands appear more resilient. They also warn listeners about manipulated traffic metrics, fake authority signals, and low-quality link farms. Gelo encourages SEO practitioners to embrace AI and integrate it into their workflow. 26:15 - 28:47 Gab says they are still testing AI-related workflows before releasing any new course or training. He emphasizes the importance of collecting real case studies first. In the conclusion, Gab explains that AEO and GEO are not necessarily scams, but they are often repackaged SEO concepts with new branding. From a client perspective, these labels work because businesses want solutions for AI visibility. 28:47 - 33:00 The episode closes with advice for SEO practitioners to continue experimenting, stay proactive, and avoid blindly following every new tactic being promoted online. Gab warns listeners to be careful with strategies that promise guaranteed AI visibility. Both hosts encourage listeners to keep testing and adapting as search continues to evolve.

   SEOs Might Lose Jobs To Al. What Do YOU Bring To The Table That Al Can't Replace

   In this episode of SEO Kwentuhan, Gab and Gelo dive deep into the reality behind AI automation, content generation, SEO careers, freelancing, and the skills that still make humans irreplaceable. From critical thinking and strategy to client communication and relationship building, this conversation uncovers what truly separates valuable SEOs from replaceable ones. If you’re an SEO, VA, freelancer, marketer, or someone worried about AI taking over your industry, this episode is for you. Transcript Summary: 00:00 - 02:37 Gelo introduces the episode and discusses the growing concern that AI may replace SEO jobs. Gab shares that the discussion was inspired by a Facebook post asking: “What do you bring to the table that AI can’t replace?” Gelo explains that AI replacing some jobs is already happening across industries, and SEO professionals should focus on providing value that AI cannot fully replicate. Businesses are actively exploring AI to reduce manpower costs, making adaptation necessary for marketers and SEOs. 02:37 - 05:26 Gab points out that many people wrongly believe SEO is only about writing content. He explains that SEO also involves: Technical SEO Link building Local SEO Strategy implementation Gelo says that in the past, being good at content writing alone was enough to be considered an SEO. Now, AI can already generate content, so SEOs need broader skill sets to stay valuable. 05:26 - 09:55 Gab asks what AI is currently capable of in SEO. Gelo explains that AI can assist with ideas and content generation, but: It still needs human judgment Outputs are often generic without proper context AI struggles to deeply understand customer pain points and business goals Gab adds that AI cannot truly experience real-world customer behavior or emotions. They also discuss how AI cannot fully replace: Relationship-building Networking PR outreach Human connection with writers and journalists 10:03 - 14:15 Gelo shares that AI can already handle around 80% of article creation, especially grammar and optimization. The remaining 20% still requires: Unique insights Original research Real-world expertise Added depth Gab emphasizes the importance of: Subject matter experts Fact-checking YMYL (Your Money Your Life) content accuracy Legal and regional compliance He also recommends using AI project knowledge bases in tools like ChatGPT or Claude to improve outputs using: Brand guidelines ICPs Industry-specific information 14:15 - 18:28 Gab stresses that people who refuse to learn AI are more likely to struggle in the future. Both speakers agree that AI should be embraced as a tool rather than feared. They discuss AI-powered SEO tools and automation platforms but note that: Most tools still have limitations Human implementation and oversight are still needed AI-generated strategies are not always reliable 18:28 - 27:08 Key Skills Discussed: Technical implementation Backend/server knowledge Communication skills Sales and client-facing abilities Critical thinking Storytelling using data Prompt engineering Chain prompting and follow-up questioning Curiosity and continuous learning Gelo says implementation skills are extremely valuable because AI still cannot execute everything properly. Gab highlights the importance of: Connecting data to business outcomes Explaining SEO results clearly to clients Communicating value even when attribution is difficult Both speakers repeatedly emphasize: Critical thinking Connecting the dots Human judgment Gab ends the section by saying curiosity is one of the most important traits to develop in any industry. 27:09 - 32:39 Gab asks whether AI helps beginners compete with experienced SEOs. Gelo describes AI as a “double-edged sword.” AI helps newer SEOs: Learn faster Strategize quicker Compete with traditional SEOs However, AI also creates: Information overload Fake expertise Low-quality automation content Confusing online advice Gab warns that many people online are simply copying AI-generated templates and pretending to be experts. 33:21 - 36:46 Gab asks about the biggest misconceptions spread by AI doomers. Gelo says exaggerated claims like: “I replaced my entire marketing team with AI” “SEO is dead” are often just clickbait. They agree that: AI still needs human experts SEO continues evolving rather than disappearing The discussion also compares: Highly technical SEOs Client-facing communicators Both agree that different skill sets can survive if paired properly. 37:23 - 42:49 Gelo believes almost every industry will be affected by AI, especially: Marketing Education Customer service BPO Coding and engineering They discuss: AI-assisted healthcare consultations AI passing professional exams Real-time AI translation replacing multilingual support roles Gab mentions recent layoffs in tech companies and how global freelancing competition may become tougher. 43:33 - 46:36 Gelo explains that without AI: Organic clicks would likely remain stronger Content production would be much slower Research and development would take longer AI has dramatically sped up: Research Coding Website implementation Tool creation However, the downside is the rise of mass-produced low-quality content and AI-generated spam. 46:38 - 55:44 Learn AI tools properly instead of fearing them Focus on SEO fundamentals Develop judgment and accountability Learn how to connect strategies with business outcomes Improve critical thinking and communication skills Gab warns beginners not to blindly believe social media success stories about freelancing and AI automation.

   Ang Daming AI Tools Ngayon, Pero Ano Talaga ang Kailangan Para sa SEO

   There are so many AI tools available today, and everywhere you look, there’s a new platform, feature, or workflow being promoted as something you “need” for SEO. But instead of making things easier, this constant stream of tools often leads to confusion, wasted time, and unnecessary spending. It becomes harder to figure out what actually matters and where you should focus your attention. In this episode, Gab and Gelo break down that reality. They share their personal experiences with trying, testing, and even dropping tools, and talk about how to decide what’s truly worth using. This is not about chasing every new AI trend.
