Frequently asked questions
Does AI optimization replace SEO?
No. AI systems still depend on accessible pages, understandable entities, authoritative content, and external signals. Traditional SEO remains part of the foundation.
Should content be written only for AI?
No. Content should first help the intended human audience. Clear structure and factual specificity also make that content easier for machines to interpret.
