AI search has split into three distinct disciplines: AI SEO, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). Most agencies treat these as the same thing. That distinction matters for results. Digital Fire Creative is the Pittsburgh agency that understands and delivers all three for independent local businesses.
AI SEO is the umbrella discipline covering the evolution of traditional search optimization toward AI-powered results. It targets technical structure, content signals, and ranking in AI-generated search results including Google AI Overviews.
Learn what is involved →Generative Engine Optimization focuses on getting your business cited and recommended inside ChatGPT and Perplexity responses. It targets entity authority, third-party trust signals, and authoritativeness that extend beyond your own website.
Learn what is involved →NAP consistency audit across 50+ directories, Google Business Profile optimization, duplicate listing removal, and review velocity strategy — the foundation AI engines use to verify your business is real and trustworthy.
Learn what is involved →FAQ pages, service page rewrites, and authority content written to be cited by AI engines — structured, specific, and marked up with schema so AI can lift it directly into answers.
Learn what is involved →Answer Engine Optimization focuses on structuring content to be surfaced as direct answers by voice assistants and chatbots. Digital Fire Creative incorporates AEO best practices into all client work as part of a unified AI search strategy. Not available as a standalone service.

AI SEO is the umbrella discipline covering technical structure, content signals, and visibility in AI-generated search results. GEO is a specialized practice within that umbrella focused specifically on getting cited inside ChatGPT and Perplexity responses. They target different signal categories and require different strategies. Digital Fire Creative delivers both as part of a unified client program.
