[01] Definition

What is AI search optimization?

AI search optimization is the combined practice of making a brand visible in traditional search results and in AI-generated answers across Google AI Overviews and AI assistants.

It brings together technical SEO, answer-ready content, entity and schema work, and off-site citation building, measured with one metric that reflects what buyers actually see: Share of Answer.
