Why SEO/AEO? How does it work?

Let’s suppose you googled “Best Compact Tractor for 5-7 acres in Dallas, Texas.“

Traditionally, a search engine would go out and retrieve as many pages as it could find that would match that specific phrase. It might use location data to return websites for dealers near you and might use previous browsing history to guess at preferred brands, but ultimately, it’s a matching game. You ask a question, and the search engine returns dozens of different pages that most closely match your question.

AI works quite differently in a three-step process.

01.

First, it infers intent. Five acres isn’t exactly row crop territory, so you might just need a tractor for brush clearing and land maintenance. So it’ll not only find tractors in that horsepower range but also assume you want to know which attachments are best for that application. It might also go ahead and pull in maintenance costs, average resale value, your proximity to dealerships, etc. Based on previous use, it might even know whether this is your first tractor or your fifth.

02.

Secondly, it’ll rewrite your query several times, with that intent, to try to surface material that may not have come up with the initial query. So “Best Compact Tractor for 5-7 acres in Dallas, Texas” might also become “best land management tractors for 5 acres” and “best tractors to clear land in Dallas” and “how much horsepower do I need in a tractor for 5-7 acres.”

03.

It then follows this up with a “fan out” approach to gathering content. It uses each variation of your query to look for information where it thinks it will find it. It can look up showroom pages to get product specifications, look up geographic surveys to learn about the land you’ll be working on, and read comparison video transcripts, Reddit threads, product reviews, etc.

It then takes all this information, cuts it up, and pastes together a one-answer summary for you.

So how does it decide which information to use? Whatever is most visible, the fastest to get to, and the easiest for it to slice up. There’s a lot to unpack here, and it would take a couple of these videos to go in-depth. Still, the short of it is, if your site is slow, if text doesn’t include specifics, if you rely on images to convey information, if the code isn’t well marked up, etc., then your site is going to get skipped over. AI may even prefer to use a different dealer several states away from the user because it’s easier to find the information it needs on that dealer’s site.

This seems like a whole new world of search, but AI isn’t unknowable. The same standards that have driven SEO for ages remain in place. Clear, concise, well-marked content will get picked up and cited, just as it ranks highly in traditional search. It’s really just how that content lives on your website that matters. And we’ll talk more about that in future videos.
