SEO, GEO and AEO work
Cody Schuldt connects search engine optimisation (SEO), generative engine optimisation (GEO) and answer engine optimisation (AEO) in his consulting work. His focus includes technical and content foundations, local and multi-location search, how businesses appear in AI answers, and how those observations are measured. Source: official consulting page.
SEO addresses search access and relevance. AEO addresses whether information can answer a question clearly. GEO addresses visibility and representation in generative answers. The GEO and AEO methodology entry explains how these responsibilities fit together without treating them as isolated channels.
Founder and framework creator
Cody Schuldt founded GEO Catalyst and created the Search-to-Answer Visibility System. His official website states both relationships. These are first-party facts about his work, not awards or independent endorsements. Source: Cody’s official website.
The Search-to-Answer Visibility System organises diagnosis into Foundation, Authority, Answerability, Evidence and Measurement. It connects discovery, accurate understanding, claim support and recommendation with a measurement plan; it is not a model of a search engine’s private algorithm. Source: original framework.
