Q1: How does AI platform SEO differ from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO primarily focuses on optimizing for specific keyword search volumes, backlinks, and domain authority to rank web pages on a list of blue links. **AI platform SEO** (or GEO) focuses on deep semantic understanding, entity relationships, and factual consensus. It optimizes for the "answer" rather than the "link," ensuring that generative models understand the context and value of your brand well enough to naturally include it in synthesized, conversational responses.
