Search and AI visibility

I do not understand AEO or GEO. How can I make it easier for AI to find and describe me?

AEO and GEO are names for work that helps you get found in search and AI answers. AEO means “answer engine optimisation”. GEO means “generative engine optimisation”. You do not need to learn these terms to start. Use the name people know you by. Say what you create. Keep your bios up to date and link your official accounts where you can. Give your videos clear titles and descriptions. If you have a website, put key facts in text that search engines can read. Check your OCG record and link your accounts. These steps help make your online identity clear. They do not promise a place in an AI answer.

Will having an OCG record improve my AEO or GEO?

OCG can help with one part of this work. It gives search and AI tools a clear record of you, your accounts and your choices. Keep it correct and up to date. We have not yet measured whether a record leads to more AI mentions, visits or a higher search position. So we cannot promise a set increase.

Can I stop doing SEO, AEO or GEO once I have an OCG record?

No. Keep your bios up to date, make useful content and look after any website you use. OCG adds a record of your identity and AI choices. It does not replace your content or the trust you build with your audience. You do not need a website to use OCG.

Will this guarantee I show up in ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok or Google?

Your record gives these tools a source they can read. Each tool still decides what to use and show. We cannot promise that you will appear, or that a wrong answer will change at once. Check your details and link your accounts to make your record useful. Your AI choices matter too. Prohibited tells AI not to use that part of your identity in its answers.

Why does it matter if an AI answer gets facts about me wrong?

A brand may ask AI about you before choosing whom to contact. A wrong answer could create a wrong first impression. OCG gives it a record you can check and correct. That is a possible risk, not a measured loss of work. AMISS tested the accuracy of AI answers. It did not measure lost income or prove that OCG improves those answers.

Why does identity matter more as AI grows?

We think a clear identity and clear permissions matter more as AI makes copying easier. OCG helps Creators state those choices. It does not own their identities.

What matters most when AI can make so much content?

We believe trust matters most. People want to know who you are and why they should care about your work. AI can help make content. It cannot build a trusted bond with your audience for you.
