Frequently asked
What does a generative engine optimization do?
They overlap almost completely. GEO emphasises generative systems, AEO emphasises answer engines, and AISO is the umbrella term. In job postings the titles are used interchangeably, so search all three.
How long does hiring take?
Senior AI search roles average 67 days to fill. Posting where practitioners already look and publishing a salary range are the two fastest levers on that number.
