What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?
AEO is the practice of optimizing your content and brand so it is cited and recommended by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews — the AI-era successor to traditional SEO.
How do AI visibility tools work?
They repeatedly query AI assistants with prompts relevant to your category, then track whether and how your brand is mentioned, the sentiment of those mentions, and which sources the AI cites.
Is AEO different from SEO?
They overlap but differ. SEO targets ranked links on a results page; AEO targets being named inside a generated answer, where there is often no link list at all.
