It’s live. And you can try it yourself. Call it SEO or GEO (I believe it's **still SEO** and nothing changes) even [a16z says it the opposite](https://a16z.com/geo-over-seo/). I fully respect whoever wants to say it GEO.*\n\n![ai mode](/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/ai-mode-scaled.png)\n\nStarting note: You can visit Google Discovery Engine page here: [https://cloud.google.com/generative-ai-app-builder/docs/reference/rest](https://cloud.google.com/generative-ai-app-builder/docs/reference/rest)\n\n## What’s This Demo?\n\nThe **Google Discovery Engine Demo** is a live search experience powered by the same underlying technology that fuels **Google’s AI Overviews** and **AI Mode**.\n\nBut here’s the twist: it only searches **my site** — [metehan.ai](https://metehan.ai).\n\nYou can:\n\n- Ask natural language questions\n- Get real-time answers from my indexed content\n- Follow up with relevant contextual queries - just like AI Mode or Perplexity\n\n> **Try the live demo** → [https://metehan.ai/aimode.html](https://metehan.ai/aimode.html)\n\n## Try Asking:\n\n- “What is cosine similarity?”\n- “What is SEO?”\n- “How should I optimize product pages for semantic SEO?”\n- “What are Google’s entity signals?”\n\nThe engine returns real answers based on my articles, frameworks, and SEO tools, giving you a peek into **how AI interprets structured content**.\n\n## How SEOs Should Use This\n\n### 1. Explore Naturally\n\nSearch like a human. No keyword stuffing or operator syntax. Just real questions and real AI-powered interpretation. See what passages or pages are triggering the relevant queries.\n\n### 2. Use Follow-Ups\n\nAsk a second question. The context is preserved, making this an ideal tool to test content depth and topical coverage.\n\n### 3. Test Query Intent\n\nDoes your site surface for mid-funnel queries? If not, you’re not just missing rankings, you’re invisible to AI engines.\n\n### 4. Client Education\n\nShow your clients how search is changing. Let them see what AI-native answers actually look like. It’s the most powerful “aha moment” you can deliver.\n\n## Why I Built It\n\nI built this demo to make one thing clear:\n\n> **The future of SEO isn’t just about ranking. It’s about being understood by machines that think in probabilities and context.**\n\nI showcased this at **[BrightonSEO](https://brightonseo.com/people/metehan-yesilyurt)** to demonstrate how Discovery Engine changes the way content is evaluated, not by keywords, but by **semantic understanding and conversational coherence**.\n\nThis is my public demo, a sandbox for what comes next.\n\nI also recommend these official guides from Google.\nhttps://cloud.google.com/generative-ai-app-builder/docs/answer\nhttps://cloud.google.com/generative-ai-app-builder/docs/answer-generation-models\n\n## Try the Demo Now\n\n[metehan.ai/aimode.html](https://metehan.ai/aimode.html)\n\nExperience what happens when your content is interpreted by AI-native engines and get a head start on the new SEO race.
