Optimize your portfolio for SEO
Original: Your Portfolio Is Invisible. Here's How I Fixed Mine.
Short summary
Portfolio visibility now requires both SEO (for Google) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization for ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude). The author improved discoverability through semantic HTML, rendering hidden content upfront, robots.ts/sitemap.ts setup, and Core Web Vitals optimization, achieving measurable search impression spikes within 48 hours.
- •AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is now critical alongside traditional SEO as AI assistants become primary discovery interfaces
- •Technical fixes: use semantic HTML tags, render all content in initial DOM (not conditionally), configure robots.ts and sitemap.ts
- •Proven impact: search impressions jumped immediately post-implementation (April 28, 2026), with sustained growth over 12 days
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
