Short answer: think of "Googlebot optimization" as the technical side of SEO that makes your site easy for Google’s crawlers to fetch, render and index — it overlaps with regular SEO (content, links, UX) but digs into crawling rules, server responses and how pages are rendered. This distinction echoes what and touched on: same goal as SEO, different focus. (developers.google.com)

Practical checklist you can apply right away: make a clear robots.txt at the site root and test it; publish an XML sitemap that lists the pages you want discovered; use correct HTTP status codes and single canonical URLs for duplicates; keep important pages reachable from normal navigation (avoid orphan pages); and reduce low-value URL noise (session IDs, excessive parameters). A minimal robots.txt example:

User-agent: *
Disallow:

Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml

Test robots and sitemaps after changes. (developers.google.com)

If your site uses JavaScript, treat rendering explicitly: Google queues pages for rendering, runs a headless Chromium, and then indexes the rendered HTML — so either server-side render/pre-render critical content or confirm the client-side output is visible to Google. Use the URL Inspection and Rich Results tools to see the rendered DOM and loaded resources; blockable resources (CSS/JS) can prevent Google from seeing the page properly. (developers.google.com)

Workflow: register the property in Search Console, verify ownership, then use Index Coverage, URL Inspection and Crawl Stats to spot blocked pages, soft errors, or indexing gaps. Follow Google’s quality/search guidelines and avoid cloaking or manipulative tricks (a point raised) — short-term hacks risk manual actions. When in doubt, fix crawlability first, then tune content and links. (developers.google.com)

There isn't much difference between normal search engine optimization and Google bot optimization. When you're optimizing your website for the search engine it also optimizes for Google bot too.

Googlebot optimization because goes a level deeper than SEO. Search engine optimization is focused more on the process of optimizing for user’s queries. Googlebot optimization is focused upon how Google’s crawler accesses your site.
Googlebot is Google’s search bot that crawls the web and creates an index. It’s also known as a spider. The bot crawls every page it’s allowed access to, and adds it to the index where it can be accessed and returned by users’ search queries.
