What is AEO and why does it matter?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) helps your content become the source that AI assistants and answer engines pick when users ask questions.

From search to answers

Users increasingly ask AI assistants directly instead of clicking many links.

AEO focuses on clear, structured answers rather than only rankings.

The goal is to be selected as the best direct answer.

What content works

Add lists, steps, and practical examples that can be quoted easily.

Maintain author/date credibility signals.
