What GEO / AEO practitioners can learn from Thomas Vavougios
- **Citations are volatile**: for the same query, sources can differ sharply across time and platforms — single snapshots mislead, so monitor continuously. - **Trust signals gate inclusion**: E-E-A-T, author/source credibility and factual consistency increasingly act as the threshold for being cited. - **Make monitoring systematic**: turn core questions, competitors and brand terms into fixed probes you run on a schedule and diff over time.
