Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

The practice of structuring content so that search engines and AI assistants can extract it as a direct answer.

AEO overlaps with GEO and classic SEO. It focuses on clear questions and concise answers, structured data, and content that can be quoted without losing context.

Typical AEO tactics include answering the main question in the first paragraph, using descriptive headings and adding FAQ sections.
