AI SEO glossary
Every term AI search has added to SEO, defined once in the plainest phrasing that is still correct. Grounding, fan-out, OAI-SearchBot, GEO, AEO and the rest.

The Right Way to Learn SEO: the Roadmap I Created
I built this roadmap because almost nobody teaches SEO in the order it actually makes sense. Six free, ungated lessons, each one assuming the one before it. Start at lesson one and work down.
Search everywhere Lesson 01
Where search actually happens: six categories of surface, and how to pick the two or three that are yours.
SEO fundamentals Lesson 02
How search works from zero: crawling, indexing, ranking, technical foundations and a realistic timeline.
Keyword research Lesson 03
Six stages from raw demand to a keyword map, and the three metrics everybody misreads.
Search intent Lesson 04
Reading a results page to decide what kind of page deserves to exist, in what format and at what angle.
Site architecture Lesson 05
Where the pages step four says should exist actually live, and what the parent, siblings and links to them look like.
Content SEO Lesson 06
What actually goes on the pages step five said should exist, and how to keep them alive afterwards.
