In detail
Since AIO launched, traditional SERP CTR has declined (users get answers from the AI summary without clicking). Pages cited in AIO get dual brand + source exposure, making this a high-value citation format in the GEO era. SEO-friendly structure + Schema markup + authoritative source signals are key to entering AIO.
