Search doesn’t look like ten blue links anymore. Discovery now happens across search results, AI overviews, chat interfaces, voice, and device surfaces, and a growing share of journeys end without a click. That doesn’t mean your content “doesn’t work”. It means the bar has shifted: pages must be easy to parse, easy to quote, and strong enough to earn trust when the answer is synthesised elsewhere.
This 22-page guide, “Optimisation: SEO, AEO, GEO, AIO, SXO, LLMO”, breaks down the modern optimisation stack in a practical way:
• SEO: technical clarity (crawl, index, speed, canonicals, schema)
• AEO: answer-first structure (question headings + tight lead answers)
• GEO: being selected and cited by generative systems
• AIO: using AI with governance to scale output without losing accuracy
• SXO: reducing friction after the click so intent turns into outcomes
• LLMO: entity consistency + information gain so assistants recognise and reuse you
You’ll also get usable patterns you can apply immediately:
• A “question > lead answer > depth > FAQs” layout that keeps pages quotable
• A schema mindset (Article/FAQ/HowTo/Breadcrumb/Organisation) that matches what’s actually on the page
• A simple prompt-testing loop to check how assistants summarise you, whether you’re cited, and where framing breaks
• An entity ledger approach (names, IDs, sameAs links, consistent terminology) that reduces ambiguity across your site
• A rollout rhythm: audit and baselines > fix vitals + answer blocks > build clusters + earn citations > iterate SXO
If you publish blogs, build landing pages, or manage a brand site, this is a clean framework for turning “content” into something that performs across every surface, not by guessing, but by structuring, measuring, and iterating. It’s built for people who want clarity, repeatability, and proof.
