Frequently Asked Questions
What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of optimizing digital content to appear as sources in AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and voice assistants. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on ranking in search results, AEO ensures your content is cited and recommended by AI when answering user queries.
Why is AEO important in 2025?
AEO is critical because over 60% of searches now involve AI answer engines instead of traditional search engines. Users increasingly get direct answers from AI without clicking through to websites, making it essential to be the source AI cites and recommends. Being featured in AI responses establishes brand authority and drives qualified traffic.
How is AEO different from SEO?
While SEO focuses on ranking high in search engine results pages (SERPs), AEO focuses on being cited as a source by AI answer engines. AEO requires structured data, clear question-answer formats, authoritative content, and optimization for natural language queries. The goal is to be recommended by AI, not just to rank in traditional search results.
What are the key elements of AEO?
Key elements of AEO include: structured data markup (Schema.org), clear and concise answers to common questions, authoritative and well-cited content, natural language optimization, FAQ sections, strong E-E-A-T signals (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness), and proper semantic HTML structure.
