On "The AEO Playbook: How to Get Cited & Stay Visible"

The AEO framing is starting to obscure what's actually happening: you're just doing good SEO work with a new distribution problem. Making content citable and staying visible when AI abstracts your answers is real, but treating this as a separate discipline or "playbook" oversells it. The practical moves are old — build authority, earn mentions, own the claim space — except now you're also playing for attribution in systems that actively strip your traffic. Don't get caught thinking AEO is a separate game; it's SEO's new pressure point, and the playbook is still fundamentals executed harder.
