PR Summary

Low Risk
New marketing MDX only; no application logic, APIs, or auth. Risk is limited to content accuracy and SEO metadata.

Overview
Adds a new library article that explains AEO (answer engine optimization) versus GEO (generative engine optimization), how each differs from traditional SEO, and why the practical writing tactics overlap.

The piece includes frontmatter (slug, FAQ, tags, canonical URL, ogImage), a TL;DR, definitions tied to featured snippets and the GEO research paper, a Traditional SEO vs AEO vs GEO comparison table, six citation-friendly content mechanics, and a short How Sim applies this section with internal library links.

Greptile Summary

Adds a new library article explaining the distinctions and overlap among AEO, GEO, and traditional SEO.

• Introduces article metadata, FAQ structured content, citations, a comparison table, and optimization guidance.
• Links the discussion to existing Sim articles about agents, observability, and building workflows.
• The declared cover asset is missing from the public library assets.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The missing cover asset should be added before merging because the published article and its metadata will otherwise expose a broken image URL.

The article content is compatible with the existing MDX and FAQ pipeline, but its declared cover image is absent and the registry silently permits that state, allowing broken page and feed output.

Missing article cover asset

The declared ogImage has no corresponding file under apps/sim/public/library/<slug>/, but the content registry still publishes the article and its image metadata, causing a broken cover on the page and a nonexistent image URL in RSS and sitemap output.
