AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the process of optimizing web content to be cited by AI search engines like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity as authoritative answers to user questions.

Is AEO replacing SEO?

No. AEO builds on top of SEO. You still need strong technical SEO (site speed, structured data, quality content) as the foundation. AEO adds AI-specific optimizations like speakable markup, structured FAQ data, and entity-first architecture.

How do I start with AEO for my business?

Start by implementing Schema.org structured data on your website, adding FAQ sections with proper markup, creating HowTo guides for common customer questions, and adding speakable CSS selectors to key content. Or contact us for a professional AEO audit.
