AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)

Optimising content to be cited by answer engines like Google's AI Overviews, Perplexity, and ChatGPT.

AEO is the discipline of shaping web content — its structure, its answer clarity, its entity signals — so that answer engines cite it in generated responses.

Unlike classical SEO, AEO is measured in citation share, not ranking position. A page that earns citations in AI Overviews is often more valuable in 2026 than a page ranked #3.

Example

A comparison page structured as a table often earns citations that a prose version of the same content would not.
