Sometimes I'm forgetting that one is about answers and the other is about the machine-readeable. Plus, on top of there is GEO as well!

How you guys find it - confusing?>

    Yes, it can feel confusing at first because you are thinking about people and machines together. Just focus on helping people clearly, and the rest become eaiser.

    It is a bit confusing, but a simple way to think about it is: AEO focuses on getting your content selected as a direct answer, AIO is about making your content structured and machine-readable so AI can easily understand it, and GEO goes a step further by aiming to have your content used or cited in AI-generated responses.

    The difference is that GEO, AEO, and AIO are totally focused on generative AI tools, while SEO focuses on organic search.

    Yeah, it's confusing because they overlap a lot.
    Simple way to see it:
    AEO = direct answers (snippets, voice)
    AIO = structured + AI-friendly content
    GEO = getting cited in AI responses
