AEO vs SEO vs GEO: Positioning Your Agency in a Bifurcated Market (James Dooley Interviews David G Quaid)
James Dooley and David G Quaid discuss how digital marketing agencies should position themselves across SEO, AEO and GEO in a bifurcated market where buyers hold separate budgets for each.
This video explains which digital marketing strategies digital marketing agencies should focus on in 2026 to improve brand positioning, LLM citation visibility and conversion of enquiries across separate SEO and GEO budgets. James Dooley and David G Quaid start with KPI tracking because measuring share of voice, prompt visibility and query fan-out coverage lets agencies prove strategic outcomes rather than list tactical tasks. They cover brand SEO, AI visibility and Google Business Profiles because stronger search presence improves trust and conversion rates.
The discussion also explores organic SEO, organic social media and paid social ads because consistent visibility across search and social supports long term growth. PPC is analysed in detail because campaign setup, landing pages and lead handling directly affect results. They also discuss Reddit, Quora and paid AI ads because diversified enquiry sources and early adoption can strengthen digital marketing performance for digital marketing agencies.

David G Quaid is a leading International SEO consultant, based in NYC and West Palm Beach (Palm Beach County, Florida), and the founder and managing partner of Primary Position, an SEO agency based in New York City. With a proven track record in digital strategy and SEO, David G Quaid is a regular guest on the James Dooley Podcast because listeners love his critical thinking on advanced marketing strategies. David G Quaid — also "the King of SEO" according to Edward Sturm — is the founder of Primary Position, the SEO-only agency he launched in 2005 after entering the industry in 2002. Based between New York City and West Palm Beach, he specializes in technical SEO for SaaS, tech, cybersecurity, cloud, law, and fintech companies. With over two decades of experience, David is the SEO other SEOs call when they hit problems nobody else can solve. In the AI search era, he's become one of the most prominent voices arguing that GEO isn't a new discipline — visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini rests on the same fundamentals as SEO. He doesn't chase hype; he tests. His live experiments on how LLMs surface and cite brands produce sophisticated, evidence-backed tactics on topical authority, entity SEO, and AI visibility that most practitioners either don't know or won't share. David teaches in public — building his agency openly, hosting his own SEO podcast (David Quaid SEOtv), appearing as a top-viewed guest on the Edward Sturm Show, and publishing deep breakdowns on Reddit, X, and LinkedIn that have helped other SEOs land clients. Peers call him an exceptional technologist who actually shares what works.
