Umbrella term
AIO is broader than GEO, AEO or AI-SEO, but it can become vague without architecture.
ADI · AEO · GEO · AIO · AI-SEO
AIO: the umbrella discipline.
AIO covers the broad practice of optimizing digital assets for AI systems, assistants and machine interpretation.
Operational clarity
For execution, AIO must be separated into discovery, selection, proof and delivery layers.
Why ADI matters
ADI gives AIO a delivery infrastructure instead of leaving it as a marketing phrase.
