Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is structuring content so answer engines — AI chatbots, voice assistants, and Google's AI features — can extract it as a direct answer. In practice AEO and GEO overlap heavily, and vendors use the labels interchangeably; GEO became the dominant term, though some market the same work as AEO. Core tactics: concise 40–60-word answers under question headings, FAQ content, comparison tables, and structured data.
