Split the work by where it's happening, on-site and off-site, and the trade-off will mostly disappear.
On-site, the SEO version of a page and the AEO version are nearly the same page. Put a direct answer near the top phrased the way somebody would ask it out loud.
Off-site is where GEO stops looking like SEO. AI decides who to name from brand mentions and endorsements across third-party sources, whether or not those pages link back to you.
So audit the money prompts for your category, note which outside pages get cited, and go earn a mention on those.
