FAQ

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is a digital marketing strategy focused on optimizing content so that AI‑powered answer engines (e.g., ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, Perplexity, etc.) can directly surface it as concise, authoritative responses rather than merely showing links in traditional search results. The main purpose of AEO is to get mentioned and cited in AI answers when potential buyers are looking for solutions.
Why is AEO important now?
With increasing reliance on generative AI chatbots for information, AEO shifts optimization from click-driven SEO to being featured directly in AI-generated answers. High-intent buyers are replacing traditional search with AI for product discovery. With rising organic traffic declines and 60%+ zero-click searches, companies risk becoming invisible if they don’t adapt.
What should I look for in a strong AEO platform?
A capable AEO platform should offer:
1. Robust analytics: real-time tracking of citations and mention frequency across multiple AI platforms with high coverage
2. Actionable optimization recommendations: AI-powered pattern recognition, content gap analysis and clear, prioritized guidance for improving AI visibility
3. Automated AI-optimized content creation:
4. Structured‑data and NLP support: schema markup assistance, entity recognition, question‑focused content structuring
