| Study | Finding | Impact |
|---|---|---|

GC Digital LLP helps brands transition from traditional SEO to AI-first discoverability through AEO, GEO, and entity-based optimisation.
If you want your brand to appear in AI-generated answers beyond 2026, now is the time to act.
AI search understands context and intent to provide direct answers, while traditional search primarily delivers a list of links for users to explore.
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses on structuring content so AI models can select it as a trusted source for direct answers.

Use entity-based content, structured data, clear factual writing, and earn authority through trusted external sources.
Businesses should focus on building authority across websites, AI engines, social platforms, and knowledge graphs.
