Get Google's AI SEO Cheat Sheet

Google just published the official AI Search Optimization guide on developers.google.com and named five popular GEO tactics as a waste of time. This is the no-fluff cheat sheet: the 5 tactics Google explicitly tells you NOT to bother with (llms.txt files, chunking content for AI, AI-specific rewrites, artificial mention farming, schema obsession) — each with the actual quote from the guide, why it does not work, and what to do instead. The 4 things Google actually rewards in AI Overviews and AI Mode (distinctive non-commodity content, clean technical foundations, high-quality images and video, Business Profile + Merchant feed) with the exact "how" for each one. A 7-step site audit you can run this week. And the 5 buyer traps to avoid when an agency tries to sell you GEO. AI Overviews + AI Mode use the same ranking systems as classic Search — distinctive content plus technical hygiene IS the strategy.
