Answer Engine Optimization
Dominate AI-powered search across all major platforms with entity-first strategies that make your brand the cited source. When users ask AI engines questions, your brand becomes the answer.
What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of optimizing your brand to be the cited source in AI-generated answers across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on ranking position, AEO focuses on citation frequency and entity authority. With 40% of business professionals now using AI tools for research, AEO ensures your brand appears as the authoritative source when AI engines answer questions about your industry, products, or services.

The New Search Paradigm
Traditional SEO focused on ranking #1 in Google search results. But AI-powered answer engines have fundamentally changed how people discover information. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other platforms now provide direct answers—and your brand needs to be the source they cite.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the strategic discipline of optimizing your digital presence to become the authoritative source that AI engines reference when answering user queries. It's not about ranking—it's about becoming the answer.
