As artificial intelligence becomes a primary way people search for information, businesses are beginning to focus on a new discipline known as Answer Engine Optimization. For a foundational overview, see "What Is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?".
Answer Engine Optimization helps ensure that AI systems correctly interpret and recommend businesses when users ask questions.
What Is Answer Engine Optimization?
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) focuses on structuring websites so AI systems can clearly understand services, expertise, and authority.
Unlike traditional SEO, which focuses on ranking pages in search results, AEO focuses on helping businesses appear in AI-generated answers. For a deeper comparison, see "The Difference Between Traditional SEO and AI Visibility."
