Digital Visibility: The Complete Overview

How do you get found online? SEO, AEO, local visibility and AI search engines — everything that matters, explained clearly.

A website without visitors is like a shop without a shop window. Digital visibility means: the right people find you when they search for what you offer.

The three pillars of visibility

1. Search engine optimisation (SEO)

Google is still the first port of call for most searches. SEO ensures that your website appears near the top for relevant search queries — without paying for it.

2. AI search engines (AEO)

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini — more and more people are using AI instead of Google. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) ensures that your website is cited as a source when AI gives an answer.

3. Local visibility

When someone searches for "Webagentur Homburg", you need to appear. Google Business Profile, local keywords and city pages are the tools for this.
