Understanding Modern SEO: Beyond Traditional Search Optimization
What is SEO?
Search Engine Optimization is the art and science of making your website visible and attractive to search engines like Google. For Kenyan businesses, this means appearing when potential customers in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and across Kenya search for your products or services.
What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?
With the rise of AI assistants and voice search, AEO focuses on providing direct answers to user queries. For Kenyan users increasingly using voice search on mobile devices, this means optimizing for conversational queries like “best restaurants near me in Nairobi” or “affordable hotels in Mombasa.”
What is GEO (Geographic SEO)?
This crucial strategy ensures your business appears for location-specific searches. For Kenyan businesses, this means dominating searches like “car dealerships in Nairobi,” “tour companies in Maasai Mara,” or “hardware stores in Nakuru.”
What is Parasite SEO?
A powerful advanced strategy where we leverage high-domain authority platforms (like Wikipedia, Medium, or Quora) to rank for competitive keywords, then channel that traffic to your Kenyan business. When done ethically, this can dramatically accelerate your visibility.
