SEO Vs ChatGPT Visibility

SEO and ChatGPT visibility overlap, but they are not identical. Traditional SEO focuses on search rankings, crawlability, keyword intent, and site quality. ChatGPT visibility adds entity clarity, answer-ready pages, proof assets, structured summaries, and consistent mentions that help AI systems understand what a business does.
