GEO is the latest version of that story, and it&#8217;s the most legitimate one yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generative Engine Optimization isn&#8217;t a rebrand. It isn&#8217;t a buzzword designed to sell a new retainer.

That&#8217;s the real problem. Not whether GEO matters. It does. The problem is that most of us don&#8217;t have a reporting stack that proves it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This guide is for SEO professionals and agency operators who need to add GEO metrics to their reporting without burning the whole thing down.

Google&#8217;s John Mueller weighed in on the GEO debate in early 2026 and essentially said: it&#8217;s probably not a separate framework, but you do need to understand how discovery is changing. Gary Illyes made a similar point at Search Central Live, emphasizing that AI features share infrastructure with traditional Search.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They&#8217;re not wrong. And they&#8217;re not entirely right either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s where I land on it after watching this space for the last two years: GEO and SEO share a foundation. Structured content, technical soundness, authority signals, E-E-A-T. If your SEO fundamentals are solid, you&#8217;re ahead of most competitors in AI visibility too. The Princeton study confirmed this. The research showed that traditional SEO tactics like keyword stuffing actually decreased AI visibility, while adding verifiable statistics, expert quotations, and structured formatting boosted it by 30 to 40%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the measurement layer is completely different. There&#8217;s no &#8220;position 1&#8221; in a ChatGPT answer. There&#8217;s no SERP to screenshot. The output is a synthesized paragraph that either names your brand or doesn&#8217;t, cites your page or a competitor&#8217;s, and characterizes your business in language you didn&#8217;t write. If you can&#8217;t track that, you can&#8217;t report on it. And if you can&#8217;t report on it, good luck selling it to a client.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s the gap GEO fills. Not a new optimization discipline so much as a new measurement discipline layered on top of SEO fundamentals we&#8217;ve been refining for 20 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_GEO_Metrics_That_Survive_Client_Scrutiny\"><\/span><b>The GEO Metrics That Survive Client Scrutiny<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8591\" src=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-Key-Metrics.png\" alt=\"GEO Monitoring and Reporting Key Metrics\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-Key-Metrics.png 1920w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-Key-Metrics-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-Key-Metrics-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-Key-Metrics-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-Key-Metrics-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-Key-Metrics-1900x1069.png 1900w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-Key-Metrics-513x289.png 513w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-Key-Metrics-573x322.png 573w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-Key-Metrics-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-Key-Metrics-335x188.png 335w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;ve been doing agency SEO for any length of time, you know the difference between a metric that sounds impressive in a slide deck and one that survives a CFO asking &#8220;so what?&#8221; Here are the GEO metrics that hold up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Citation Share<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the closest thing to a keyword ranking in GEO. Of all the AI-generated responses in your client&#8217;s category, what percentage cite your client? Track it across platforms, by query cluster, and over time. This is the metric that shows trajectory and competitive positioning. If your client holds 15% citation share this month and 22% next month, that&#8217;s a story worth telling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Brand Mention Rate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tracks how often AI platforms mention the brand by name, regardless of whether they link to a specific page. This matters because a mention without a citation still influences the buyer&#8217;s perception. When ChatGPT says &#8220;companies like [Client Name] offer this type of service,&#8221; that&#8217;s a positioning win even if no link appears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Share of Voice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> compares your client&#8217;s AI visibility against named competitors. It answers the question every client eventually asks: &#8220;Are we winning or losing?&#8221; Build this as a rolling comparison across the prompt clusters that map to your client&#8217;s revenue-driving keywords.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Sentiment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> measures how AI platforms characterize the brand. Positive, neutral, negative. Are they being described as a leader, an option, or a risk? This is where GEO reporting gets genuinely strategic. If Perplexity consistently positions your client as &#8220;affordable but limited,&#8221; that&#8217;s a messaging problem you can fix with content, and you can show the fix in next month&#8217;s report.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>AI Referral Traffic with Conversion Attribution<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> closes the loop. Filter GA4 for traffic from chat.openai.com, perplexity.ai, claude.ai, gemini.google.com, and grok.com. Then tie those sessions to conversions. The volume is still small for most sites, but the conversion quality is remarkable. Multiple studies have found AI referral visitors converting at 5 to 23 times the rate of traditional organic, depending on the vertical. That&#8217;s the number that makes a CFO lean forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Each_AI_Platform_Handles_Citations_and_Why_It_Matters_for_Reporting\"><\/span><b>How Each AI Platform Handles Citations (and Why It Matters for Reporting)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8592\" src=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-for-AI-Platforms.png\" alt=\"AEO Monitoring and Reporting for AI Platforms\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-for-AI-Platforms.png 1920w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-for-AI-Platforms-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-for-AI-Platforms-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-for-AI-Platforms-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-for-AI-Platforms-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-for-AI-Platforms-1900x1069.png 1900w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-for-AI-Platforms-513x289.png 513w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-for-AI-Platforms-573x322.png 573w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-for-AI-Platforms-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Monitoring-and-Reporting-for-AI-Platforms-335x188.png 335w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest mistakes I see in early GEO reporting is treating all AI platforms as one channel. They&#8217;re not. Each model retrieves content differently, weights authority differently, and surfaces citations differently. Your reporting needs to reflect that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>ChatGPT<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> dominates volume. It holds roughly 80% of the AI chatbot market and drives about 87% of all AI referral traffic. But it only activates web search on about a third of queries. The rest pull from training data, which means your historical content footprint matters as much as what you published last week. Wikipedia accounts for nearly half of ChatGPT&#8217;s top cited sources for factual queries, which tells you something about the authority threshold it applies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Perplexity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is citation-forward by design. Every answer shows its sources, making it the easiest platform to audit for citation presence. The audience skews heavily toward researchers and professionals (41% in knowledge industries, median query length of 10 words). For B2B clients, Perplexity citation tracking is non-negotiable. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/how-to-track-perplexity-rankings-over-time\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We wrote a full Perplexity tracking guide if you want the detailed methodology.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Claude<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> punches above its consumer numbers in enterprise. Over 300,000 businesses use the API, and Anthropic&#8217;s enterprise revenue reportedly surpassed OpenAI&#8217;s by mid-2025. The challenge is that most Claude usage happens through embedded enterprise interfaces, not the public web app. GA4 referral data will understate actual exposure. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/best-claude-tracking-analytics-software\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prompt-level monitoring through a dedicated tool is the only way to get an accurate picture.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Gemini<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has the widest distribution of any AI platform thanks to its integration with Google Search. AI Overviews now reach 2 billion monthly users across 200+ countries. The critical finding for SEO professionals: only 38% of AI Overview citations come from top-10 organic pages, down from 76% in earlier analyses. That&#8217;s a structural break from the assumption that traditional rankings predict AI visibility. Content with strong E-E-A-T signals from positions 11 and beyond is getting cited. Track your clients&#8217; AI Overview appearances separately from their organic rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Grok<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> draws almost exclusively from X (formerly Twitter) for social citations. One study found that 99.7% of X-sourced citations across AI platforms came specifically from Grok. If your client has an active X presence, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewrdigital.com\/blog\/best-grok-tracking-analytics-tools\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grok is a visibility channel you can influence directly.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If they don&#8217;t, that&#8217;s a gap worth documenting in your reporting, even if the recommendation is to deprioritize it for now.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Building_a_GEO_Reporting_Framework_That_Doesnt_Require_Enterprise_Pricing\"><\/span><b>Building a GEO Reporting Framework That Doesn&#8217;t Require Enterprise Pricing<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8594\" src=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Reporting-and-Monitoring-AI-Overviews.png\" alt=\"AEO Reporting and Monitoring AI Overviews\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Reporting-and-Monitoring-AI-Overviews.png 1920w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Reporting-and-Monitoring-AI-Overviews-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Reporting-and-Monitoring-AI-Overviews-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Reporting-and-Monitoring-AI-Overviews-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Reporting-and-Monitoring-AI-Overviews-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Reporting-and-Monitoring-AI-Overviews-1900x1069.png 1900w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Reporting-and-Monitoring-AI-Overviews-513x289.png 513w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Reporting-and-Monitoring-AI-Overviews-573x322.png 573w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Reporting-and-Monitoring-AI-Overviews-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AEO-Reporting-and-Monitoring-AI-Overviews-335x188.png 335w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s the practical part. Most agencies I know aren&#8217;t going to drop $2,000 a month on a new platform to test a channel that currently drives under 2% of traffic. Fair. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/cairrot-review-evalutation-tool-comparison\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s how to build a functional GEO reporting layer without destroying your margins.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Tier 1: Manual Baseline (Free)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Run 15 to 20 buyer-intent prompts through ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. Document whether your client&#8217;s brand appears, which pages get cited, who the competitors are in each answer, and how the brand is characterized. Do this monthly. Export to a spreadsheet. This gives you a baseline and a narrative, which is often all a client needs to start caring about the channel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tier 2: Automated Tracking (Affordable)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cairrot.com\/pricing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cairrot was built for this tier.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It monitors visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Grok from a single dashboard. The GA4 integration ties citation data to real traffic and conversions. The WordPress plugin and Cloudflare integration log AI bot crawls so you can see which platforms are actively reading your client&#8217;s site. And the API is included on all plans, which means you can pipe the data into Looker, Databox, or your own white-label dashboards without paying for an enterprise upgrade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For agencies managing multiple clients, Cairrot&#8217;s multi-brand interface keeps everything organized without switching between accounts. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewrdigital.com\/blog\/best-aeo-tracking-software-tools\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EWR Digital did a solid comparison of AEO tracking tools<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you want to see how options stack up side by side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tier 3: Full-Stack GEO (Enterprise)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Platforms like Semrush&#8217;s Enterprise AIO, Siftly, and others offer deeper analytics including hallucination detection, source-type categorization, and multi-model competitive benchmarking. These make sense when AI referral traffic represents a meaningful revenue line or when clients operate in regulated industries where brand accuracy in AI responses has compliance implications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most agencies should start at Tier 1 this month, move to Tier 2 within a quarter, and evaluate Tier 3 only when the data justifies it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_GEO-Optimized_Content_Actually_Looks_Like\"><\/span><b>What GEO-Optimized Content Actually Looks Like<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8595\" src=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Optimized-Content-for-Monitoring-and-Reporting.png\" alt=\"GEO Optimized Content for Monitoring and Reporting\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Optimized-Content-for-Monitoring-and-Reporting.png 1920w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Optimized-Content-for-Monitoring-and-Reporting-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Optimized-Content-for-Monitoring-and-Reporting-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Optimized-Content-for-Monitoring-and-Reporting-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Optimized-Content-for-Monitoring-and-Reporting-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Optimized-Content-for-Monitoring-and-Reporting-1900x1069.png 1900w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Optimized-Content-for-Monitoring-and-Reporting-513x289.png 513w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Optimized-Content-for-Monitoring-and-Reporting-573x322.png 573w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Optimized-Content-for-Monitoring-and-Reporting-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GEO-Optimized-Content-for-Monitoring-and-Reporting-335x188.png 335w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going through theory is a nice way to understand GEO, but let&#8217;s talk about what to build.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Princeton research gave us a data-backed starting point. The optimization methods that moved the needle weren&#8217;t clever hacks. They were:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Statistics Addition:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Content that includes verifiable numbers, data points, and named research sources gets cited more. Up to 41% improvement over baseline. This isn&#8217;t surprising. LLMs are trained to prefer content they can present as factual and attribute clearly. If your client&#8217;s service page says &#8220;we&#8217;re fast,&#8221; it&#8217;s invisible. If it says &#8220;average project completion in 14 business days across 200+ engagements,&#8221; it&#8217;s citable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Quotation Addition:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Including expert quotes or attributed statements improved citation rates by up to 28%. LLMs treat attributed expertise as a trust signal. Adding a named quote from the CEO, a client testimonial with context, or a cited industry expert gives the model something it can reference with confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Structured Formatting: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear H2\/H3 hierarchy, extractable lists, comparison tables, FAQ blocks with schema. These give AI engines discrete answer units to pull from. A wall of prose is harder for a model to excerpt than a clean heading followed by a direct answer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What didn&#8217;t work:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> keyword stuffing. It actually decreased visibility in the Princeton tests. This should put to rest the idea that GEO is just &#8220;SEO with more keywords.&#8221; It&#8217;s almost the opposite. Specificity, structure, and verifiability beat density.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For implementation,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/connorkimball.com\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connor Kimball&#8217;s content strategy work<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is worth a look if you want examples of how to structure service-industry content for both traditional and AI search.

After leaving a CFO role at a seven\u2011figure nonprofit, I built my first online business and hit #1 in AOL search within weeks\u2014then clients started asking me to replicate those results for them. Since then, I\u2019ve helped businesses turn WordPress sites into high\u2011performing assets through technical SEO, site architecture, speed, and content strategy, and I\u2019ve built and sold a WordPress site after growing it to 1,000+ organic keyword rankings. Today I own or co\u2011own multiple city\u2011based SEO properties that compete at the top in tough U.S. markets, and I now offer AI SEO so brands can show up in Google results and AI\u2011generated answers. To work with me, book a call from the homepage of Omaha SEO (Omaha\u2011SEO.com).","url":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/author\/philbell\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8586","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8586"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8586\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8599,"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8586\/revisions\/8599"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
