I think by the time the industry settles on a new term it’s all just gonna be back to “SEO” as AI takes over everything.

Hey Bluesky SEO folks, how do we feel about the use of “AEO” for answer engine optimization instead of just calling it, well, “SEO?” Are people just trying to make fetch happen?

Ok ChatGPT, you're a wordsmith and acronym crafting expert. I'm looking for alternate names for the acronym "SEO". Search Engine Optimization seems outdated. Based on what you know of the industry and how it has evolved, what are some other 3 letter acronyms we can use to replace "SEO".

SDX - Search Discovery Experience
CFO - Content Findability Optimization
SXI - Search Experience Integration
DXP - Digital Experience Presence
DVO - Discoverability Value Optimization

for the record - I hate all of these, but this is chatGPTs world, I'm just living in it...

Search Experience Optimization?

Though I did use “answer engine” in my 2018 #BrightonSEO Batman deck 🦇 😊

We're all struggling here. The problem is that SEO is too broad to describe AI focused SEO.

See, I don't think so as they're rapidly becoming just one thing. Case in point: anything anybody types into Google gets a possible AIO, they've said over a billion people have interacted with AIOs, to me that's just search now.

Okey. What would you call a newsletter about this, so it was super short and descriptive so people knew what they would get ?

WSVO

We can’t add more letters - that’s against the rules

Search Experience Optimization.

Zooms out from ‘engine’ and takes into account the whole consumer search experience from search results to first-click on landing to browsing the site.

And preserves the acronym 🤣

I like this.

This makes the most sense to me. Search engines are just a tool of information retrieval. But our understanding of what a "search engine" is is already so well defined. As AI breaks down those preconceptions of what IR looks like, it would be good to acknowledge the "zooming out" at the wider UX.

I’m no expert in linguistics but maybe “SEO” is undergoing a process where SEO is becoming a word in its own right? Perhaps meaning a process of enhancing visibility of content in third party automated information retrieval systems?

buckbee.bsky.social•108 days ago

yes to this.
