Claim: Good SEO is Good GEO (according to Google in 2026).
Truth: Agree in principle, but if you only do “good SEO” on your own new site in isolation, you can still be invisible for months in AI Overviews, because Google takes the context for the ai overview from most trusted sources it can find, e.g., LinkedIn / Youtube / Reddit / Facebook / Instagram / Trustpilot / Pitchbook / Crunchbase / etc. ie not your site ergo SEO (search engine optimisation) on one site is not enough in 2026 for the SERP for new sites.
PS – You still need Pagerank.
