Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
Get your content discovered in AI-powered answer engines like Google AI Overviews and Perplexity. When people ask questions, your brand's answers appear.
What is Answer Engine Optimization?
The next evolution of SEO for the AI era
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is a cutting-edge content strategy designed to make your brand's content discoverable in AI-powered answer engines. Unlike traditional SEO that targets search engines, AEO optimizes your content to be selected and displayed by AI systems like Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants.
When someone asks a question that your brand can answer, AEO-optimized content increases the likelihood that your answer will be featured prominently in AI-generated responses, giving you unprecedented visibility and authority.
How AEO Works
Our AI automatically optimizes your posts for maximum visibility
Q&A Format
Posts are structured as questions and answers, making it easy for AI systems to extract and understand your content.
Structured Data
Schema.org JSON-LD metadata is automatically added to your posts, helping AI systems understand and categorize your content.
Natural Language
Content uses natural language patterns that AI systems recognize and prefer, increasing selection probability.
- "Here's how..."
- "The key is..."
- "What makes X different..."
