AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)

Optimizing so that 'answer engines' — AI search, voice assistants, featured snippets — adopt your information as the answer. Overlaps heavily with GEO and LLMO.

Notes

Usage of AEO vs GEO vs LLMO varies by author, but the underlying practice is the same: write direct answers in an extractable form. Place a self-contained 40–60 word answer right under each heading (an “answer capsule”) and back it with sourced facts.

Whatever the label, the foundation is identical: crawlable server-rendered HTML, a clear heading hierarchy, and concrete facts with named sources.
