GEO / AEO philosophy
Digitaloft argues that AI answers draw on the same trusted publications that digital PR targets, so earned coverage supports both rankings and citations.
Its case studies pair that view with measured outcomes, including a client with 86 pieces of coverage and an AI referral gain of 36.2 percent. The published GEO figures are few, and most of its evidence comes from digital PR and organic search.
