AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)

AEO, or Answer Engine Optimization, is the practice of optimizing so your content becomes the answer an answer engine gives. Answer engines — AI assistants, voice search, and featured answers — return a direct response rather than a page of links, so AEO focuses on being the quoted or cited source for a question.

AEO contributes to AI Visibility, the broader outcome of showing up prominently across AI-generated answers.
