Answer / Ask Engine Optimization (AEO)
Optimise to be cited, not just ranked.
Answer Engine Optimization is SEO for a world where the result is a synthesised answer, not a list of links. AEO makes your content the passage that AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini lift and cite.
That means answer-first structure, entity clarity, corroborated expertise, and formatting that's trivially extractable by a model — the difference between being the source and being invisible.

FAQ
Common questions
How is AEO different from SEO?+
SEO wins the ranking; AEO wins the citation inside a generated answer. They overlap, but AEO optimises for extraction and trust, not just position.
Can you prove AI citations?+
I track branded mentions and citations across engines for your prompt set — it's directional, but measurable.
Is AEO the same as GEO?+
Closely related. AEO focuses on answer engines specifically; GEO (generative engine optimization) is the broader umbrella, delivered under Search Everywhere Optimization.
