What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?

AEO optimizes content for answer engines – systems that deliver direct answers instead of only link lists.

AEO overlaps heavily with GEO and classic snippet SEO: answers first, entities, FAQs, and citable passages. The goal is visibility in AI Overviews, assistants, and zero-click surfaces – not only position 1 of the blue links.
