About this glossary
The SEO and GEO Glossary is a searchVIU project.
What the glossary is for
The glossary explains 792 SEO and GEO terms in 21 categories, from crawling and indexing to AI search and agent protocols. Every term is available in English and German.
We care about content that is technically accurate and genuinely useful when you look something up. Entries are updated regularly. Each entry shows the date it was last updated.

A test environment for searchVIU
This website also serves as a test environment for searchVIU's crawling and monitoring. Technical errors may therefore appear here on purpose and temporarily, for example wrong redirects or missing pages.
Notes on individual entries
- Historical marks retired techniques and past Google updates. They stay in the glossary because they still come up in professional writing.
- Entries on legal topics name the relevant law. They are not legal advice.
AI tools
We use AI tools to help write the texts; searchVIU is editorially responsible for them.
Who is behind it
searchVIU is SEO monitoring for complex websites and has been online since 2017. In-depth guides on many topics are available at searchviu.com.
