About the book
In 2026, SEO does not end with a URL’s position in Google. Search now has several layers: URL discovery, crawling, rendering, canonicalization, indexing, retrieval for a query, ranking, the generated answer, citation — and only then a click or an action. If you only look at rankings, part of the system simply disappears from view.
This book explains the whole chain from URL to business outcome. No magic, no “secret ranking factors”, and no attempt to sell a new label in place of SEO. AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Bing/Copilot, GEO, AEO and LLMO are treated not as a separate universe but as new ways of retrieving information that partly rely on the same fundamentals: document accessibility, relevance, authority, site structure, links, entities and data quality.
