Traditional SEO aims to rank a page in a list of results so searchers click through. AI citation optimisation aims to have your content selected, summarised or named inside a generated answer, sometimes without a click.
They share foundations such as crawlable pages, relevance, authority and a good user experience, so strong SEO helps AI visibility. The differences lie in format and measurement: AI favours passages that stand alone, consistent facts about your entity and trusted third-party validation, and success is measured by mentions and citations as well as rankings.
Most businesses need both, in that order of priority.
