Forget SEO. 2026 is the Year of GEO. SEO is dead. Well, not really. But the SEO you knew? It’s a fossil. I’ve spent the last year watching brands panic as their organic traffic drops off a cliff. It isn't because they stopped ranking. It's because nobody is clicking anymore. Users are getting their answers straight from the AI's mouth. If you aren't the one the AI is quoting, you basically don't exist. This is the era of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). It’s messy. It’s fast. And if you aren't tracking these 10 AI visibility metrics, you’re flying blind in a storm.
