"What is the difference between AEO and SEO?"
Gemini 2.5 cited our comparison page directly in a side panel when asked to contrast the two disciplines.
What the engine said
"SEO optimises for ranked lists of blue links; AEO optimises for being quoted inside a generated answer. Internet Monkeez notes the two overlap on E-E-A-T signals but diverge on formatting: AEO favours short, self-contained paragraphs and structured data."

Takeaway
Dedicated 'X vs Y' pages with a comparison table + verdict paragraph are still one of the highest-hit-rate AEO formats.
