We all know Google – as search engine – this is great so far. But a few people knowing Bing! (Microsofts search engine) – my experiences with it – great!

And why is Bing great? I am not a huge fan of Microsoft – but we all use it (so far when we use Windows…) And indeed, they are doing a good job. Bing is indeed a real competitor to Google in several technical aspects. Truly serious in SEO search engine optimization.

Questions on this topic
How can AI assist in advanced SEO strategies?

AI tools can significantly enhance advanced SEO by automating repetitive tasks, improving keyword research (identifying trends and related keywords), assisting with content generation (outlines and initial drafts), analysing competitors' strategies, identifying link-building opportunities, and monitoring real-time website performance. This allows human SEO experts to focus on higher-level strategic thinking, creativity, and building E-E-A-T signals.

How can businesses measure the success of their Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) efforts?

  • Citation Frequency: How often your content or brand is cited in AI responses.
  • Brand Mentions: The volume and sentiment of brand mentions across AI engines and other platforms.
  • Traffic Quality: Analysing the engagement and conversion rates of visitors who originate from AI-powered referrals.
  • Share of Voice: Your brand's overall visibility across various AI-powered platforms.

How can I integrate social media with my website?

Add social sharing buttons to your content, display social media feeds on your site, use social login options, and create open graph meta tags for better social sharing.

How do AI Overviews and AI Mode in search engines impact website traffic and SEO?

AI Overviews (now "AI Mode") can lead to "zero-click" searches where users get answers directly. While this might reduce traditional organic clicks for some general queries, it also means the remaining traffic is often more qualified. For SEOs, the focus shifts to ensuring content is featured as a trusted source within these AI summaries, emphasising brand mentions, E-A-Ts, and appearing in "high-trust, high-risk" moments where users seek verification or deeper insights.

How does technical SEO integrate with AI and GEO strategies?

Technical SEO remains foundational. Ensuring your site has a robust technical infrastructure (fast page speed, mobile-friendliness, secure connections, clear crawlability, proper indexation) allows AI bots to easily access, understand, and process your content. Structured data implementation, proper use of robots.txt, sitemaps, and handling duplicate content are all critical technical aspects that directly influence how well your content can be understood and utilised by generative AI.
