SEO consulting firm expands beyond traditional rankings to help clients show up in generative AI answers through GEO and AEO services

ATLANTA, GA

ATLANTA, GA — Bruce Jones SEO, a search engine optimization consulting firm, today announced the expansion of its service offerings to include Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), helping businesses maintain visibility as more consumers turn to AI-powered tools such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok to find products, services, and information.

The shift in how people search has changed the rules of online visibility. Instead of simply ranking on a results page, businesses now need to be cited as a trusted source inside AI-generated answers — a process that requires a different mix of technical SEO, structured data, and content strategy than traditional search optimization alone.

“Traditional SEO gets you clicks, but AI SEO and GEO get you recommended,” said Jovie Ranico, CEO of Bruce Jones SEO. “Search hasn’t gone away—it’s expanded. Businesses that only optimize for the old rules of Google are going to miss a growing share of how their customers are finding information. That’s why we’ve built out our AI SEO, GEO, and AEO services alongside the SEO fundamentals our clients already count on.”

Bruce Jones SEO’s expanded services include:

AI SEO — combining technical SEO, structured data, and topical authority so AI systems can accurately understand and represent a business
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — improving visibility in AI-generated answers and conversational search experiences, built on strong SEO fundamentals like crawlability, content quality, and authority
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) — structuring content, FAQs, and business information to directly answer the questions people ask through voice assistants and AI search tools
The firm emphasizes that no legitimate SEO provider can guarantee placement in AI Overviews or AI chat tools, since these platforms control their citation decisions. Instead, Bruce Jones SEO focuses on strengthening the technical readiness, content quality, and authority signals that make a business more likely to be discovered and cited—while continuing to support the traditional local search, Google Business Profile, and website optimization work that remains the foundation of any visibility strategy.

Bruce Jones SEO works with businesses across a range of industries, including legal, healthcare, e-commerce, jewelry, nonprofit, and professional services, and has clients across the United States and internationally.

Businesses interested in a free AI visibility and SEO consultation can schedule one directly through Bruce Jones SEO’s website.

Comprehensive analysis of 4.3 million crawler requests shows major frontier bots never request Markdown, leaving Cloudflare Markdown for Agents with zero impact on AI search citations.

PHOENIX, AZ

 AnswerShare, the pioneer of the AI Translation Layer released findings from a new study demonstrating that serving Markdown content via tools like Cloudflare Markdown for Agent has no impact on frontier AI crawler behavior, search engine citations, or recommendations.

Despite claims from industry experts that Markdown solves HTML bloat and makes pages easier for AI to ingest, the study shows that major frontier bots simply do not request Markdown format.

Methodology and Findings

Leveraging an active weekly crawl volume of approximately 1.5 million requests across multiple edge-controlled domains, the study conducted a rigorous, data-driven evaluation.

The first phase of the experiment tested whether wildcard accept headers (such as the complex header sent by OpenAI’s GPTBot) would trigger Markdown delivery.

Testing with 20,000 crawler simulations confirmed that Cloudflare only serves Markdown when it is explicitly requested in the headers via ‘Accept: text/markdown’.

The second phase analyzed a sample of 4,300,723 real-world requests across five domains to determine how often frontier crawlers request Markdown. Out of those requests, only 108,736 (about 2.5%) requested Markdown. Crucially, the frontier bots responsible for the vast majority of AI search traffic never requested Markdown:

• PerplexityBot: 605,811 observations – 0 Markdown requests
• Meta-ExternalAgent: 359,222 observations – 0 Markdown requests
• GPTBot: 260,472 observations – 0 Markdown requests
• OAI-SearchBot: 33,631 observations – 0 Markdown requests
• ClaudeBot: 18,831 observations – 0 Markdown requests

In contrast, only specific specialized or unclassified crawlers requested Markdown:

• ExaSearchBot: 67,578 requests (99.02%)
• ShapBot: 3,588 requests (100%)
• Unclassified bots: 4,615 requests
• Claude-User Impersonators: 248 requests
• GoogleBot impersonators: 32,747 requests

Implications for GEO/AEO

‘While we didn’t study every markdown solution, at least for Cloudflare Agent Markdown, there is zero impact to frontier behavior, citation, or recommendation,’ Maynard concluded. “While we didn’t look at all markdown services, the result for Cloudflare is clear.” said Robert Maynard, Founder of AnswerShare. “They built the pipe, but major AI crawlers aren’t using the faucet. Until AI labs update their scrapers to request text/markdown, enabling the feature yields no real-world impact on frontier AI indexing.

While automated Markdown translation fails to influence key crawlers, organizations looking to meaningfully impact AI engine behavior must look to more direct solutions, such as those provided by AnswerShare.

Manifests, logs and methodology are available at AnswerShare Research.
