A practitioner's guide to AEO and GEO
How to get your business recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — before your competitors figure out the search results page is already dying.
The problem
When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini a question, the AI reads your site, extracts your data, and often never sends them to you at all. The real estate that matters now is a paragraph inside someone else's answer.
Who this is for
How RAG retrieval works, how to fix crawlability, how to write content that gets cited — these mechanics apply to any business competing to be named inside an AI-generated answer. Every worked example in the book uses B2B SaaS as the throughline, since that's where AI-search competition is currently fiercest — direct fit if that's you, still fully usable if it isn't, with a little adapting.

Preface — The Silent Heist
For 25 years, digital visibility ran on one transaction: rank on Google, get the click. That toll booth is being dismantled — not next year, now.
The Middleman Disappearance: when a user asks Google a question, they get ten links and go find out themselves — value distributed across ten businesses. When that same user asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini, the AI ingests top sources, synthesizes a single answer, and often names a specific recommendation — without the user ever leaving the chat. Your site got read, your data got extracted, your positioning got summarized. You got zero clicks.
