What is AEO?

Understanding Answer Engine Optimization

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of optimizing your content and online presence to be cited, featured, and recommended by AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, and SearchGPT.

Unlike traditional SEO that optimizes for search engine rankings, AEO focuses on becoming the authoritative source that AI models reference when generating answers. This requires structured data, entity optimization, authoritative content, and strategic positioning.

As AI reshapes how people find information, AEO is becoming critical. Studies show that over 60% of searches now involve AI assistance, and users increasingly trust AI-recommended businesses. Without AEO, your competitors who optimize will capture this growing market.

Competitive Edge

Without AEO

Don't miss the AI search revolution

Research shows that over 60% of searches now involve AI assistance, and that number is growing exponentially. Businesses without AEO are invisible when potential customers ask AI for recommendations, missing thousands of discovery opportunities daily.

One of the biggest risks is competitor dominance—if your competitors optimize for AI first, they'll capture the citations and recommendations that should be yours. Early adopters are seeing 300+ AI citations while non-optimized competitors get zero mentions.

Professional AEO ensures your business is discovered, cited, and recommended by AI answer engines. Our strategies position you as the authoritative source across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, and emerging platforms—capturing visibility in the fastest-growing search channel.
