Answer engine optimization (AEO)
Structuring content to answer specific questions directly so search engines and assistants can surface it as the answer.
Definition
AEO emphasises question-and-answer formatting, concise definitions, FAQ sections, and schema markup such as FAQPage and HowTo, so both classic featured snippets and AI answers can lift the response. It overlaps with GEO but centres on explicit questions people ask.
Why it matters when choosing a tool
Content that answers questions plainly earns visibility in snippets and AI answers, and it also serves human readers better.
Where you will meet it
