How FlowIntent used its own MCP stack to capture a 1600% trend before the competition.

The Discovery: While competitors fought for "AI SEO" (1.3k vol), we spotted "GEO SEO" (Generative Engine Optimization) surging 1600% with a low difficulty (KD 28).

The Challenge: Invisible in a Crowded Room

In early 2026, the "AI SEO" market was a bloodbath. Every SaaS tool, agency, and consultant was fighting for the same keywords. The cost-per-click (CPC) for these terms had hit $23.34.

The Solution: The FlowIntent Protocol

Step 1: Trend Spotting with DataForSEO

Keyword: "Generative Engine Optimization" (GEO)
Yearly Trend: +1600% (Explosive Growth)
Difficulty: 28 (Easy)
CPC: $4.83

Step 2: Competitor X-Ray with Exa

We ran the exa tool to find the top ranking pages. We found that most competitors treated GEO as a "future concept," while we pivoted to treating it as a "right now" necessity.

Step 3: The "Answer Capsule" Strategy

Using our AEO Writer Agent, we structured the content with Answer Capsules optimized for Perplexity and Gemini.

H2: What is the difference between SEO and GEO?
While SEO optimizes for clicks on a results page, GEO optimizes for citation share within an AI answer. SEO targets 10 blue links; GEO targets the single primary citation.
