Books and research

SEO Algorithm Cracked

SEO Algorithm Cracked: Modern Search Decoded. Reverse-Engineered. Explained. was published as a Kindle eBook on 13 March 2026.[4] The book reverse-engineers how modern search engines rank pages, drawing on patents, antitrust testimony, public infrastructure documentation and cross-engine algorithm research.[4] It is held in the catalogue of the National Library of Australia, which records it as published in Perth, Western Australia, in 2026.[5][14]

The GEO Patent Book

The GEO Patent Book: What 103 patent filings from Google, DeepMind and OpenAI say about being cited by an AI answer was first given to attendees of the generative engine optimisation (GEO) workshop Moeller taught at the Shenzhen SEO Conference 2026. A public edition followed in October 2026 as a free 55-page PDF released under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence.[6] The book describes what the patent filings say rather than claiming what any search engine does in production.[6] The National Library of Australia also catalogues this title.[7][15]

Software

Moeller publishes open-source SEO software under the AGPL-3.0 licence. Climby AI SEO is an AI-based SEO audit tool,[16] and the AI Visibility Tracker is a self-hosted tool that records brand mentions and citations across AI answer engines.[17]
