What is Search engine optimization (SEO)?

Also called SEO.

Search engine optimization is the practice of improving a page's position in a search engine's ranked results, so more people click through to the site.

SEO and GEO overlap but optimise for different outcomes: a rank in a list of links versus representation inside a generated answer. Much SEO groundwork, particularly crawlability and authority, still helps GEO.
