AEO Answer Engine Optimization
When customers ask a question, be the answer.
More searches end with an answer, not a click on ten blue links. Answer Engine Optimization structures your expertise into clear, trustworthy answers that search engines and voice assistants can lift straight into results — with your brand attached.

Good questions
AEO questions, answered.
What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of structuring content so search engines and assistants can use it as a direct answer — in featured snippets, “People also ask” boxes, voice results and AI summaries. It focuses on questions, clarity and structure rather than just keywords.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO aims to rank a page. AEO aims to have a specific answer from that page selected and shown. They work together: SEO earns the page its place, AEO makes the answer easy to extract.
How is AEO different from GEO?
AEO targets answer features inside search engines and voice assistants. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) targets being mentioned and cited by AI chat tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. Most brands benefit from both.
Does FAQ schema still help?
Google now shows FAQ rich results for very few sites, but structured data still helps machines understand your content accurately. We use schema as a clarity layer, not a trick.
