What is the difference between AEO and GEO?

AEO and GEO are two names for the same appearance job: getting named inside AI answers. GEO is the research term; AEO is the common one. Trendscoded is not an AEO or GEO product. It maps the markets buyers compare you in, then reads those answers as evidence of standing.

AEO and GEO both mean: be named, recommended, or cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Grok — not rank a blue link. The label rarely changes the work.

The hard part is still which markets you are judged in. The Market Map names those markets. Standing is measured there. Sources stay attached to the read.
