Clear, concise definitions for every term, from A to Z.
A 301 redirect automatically redirects visitors and search engines from an old URL to a new one. The HTTP status code 301 indicates that the redirect is permanent. It is used, for example, during a website relaunch or a domain change. This allows search engines to recognize which new page replaces the previous one and to pass on ranking signals. However, this does not guarantee that previous rankings will be fully carried over.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the process of optimizing content so that it appears as a direct answer: in featured snippets, in “Related Questions,” and in Google AI Overviews. While SEO focuses on improving your page’s ranking, AEO focuses on ensuring that your content itself is the answer.
Google AI Overviews are AI-generated summaries that Google displays directly in the search results for certain search queries. They answer questions by compiling information and may include links to supporting websites. This allows users to get answers without necessarily having to open a website. A mention or link in AI Overviews cannot be guaranteed.
AIO stands for Artificial Intelligence Optimization: the optimization of content and brands for AI systems. The term describes the same approach as GEO and LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization), just under a different name. GEO is the term that is gaining traction.
Attribution refers to companies’ efforts to determine which advertising contributed to an inquiry or a purchase. For example, someone might see an Instagram ad, later search for the company on Google, and make a purchase there. Depending on how success is measured, the purchase may be attributed to Google, even though Instagram may also have played a role.
An Author Vector is the algorithmically quantifiable profile of a real person: built from their publications, their verifiable expertise, and their reputation across various sources. Search engines and AI systems use such profiles to assess how trustworthy a piece of content is. The term was coined by bobdo.
The Citation Score is a metric that indicates how frequently and prominently a source is cited in AI responses. It counts citations of your pages as sources, not mere mentions of your brand. As a benchmark, it shows whether measures to improve AI visibility are effective.
Community management involves a company managing its comments and messages on social media. This includes answering questions, responding to criticism, and moderating spam or offensive comments. The company can handle these tasks itself or outsource them to an agency. At bobdo, community management is included in our services upon the client’s request.
