What is Answer Engine Optimization?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the work of structuring a website so that answer surfaces, including Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, featured snippets and voice assistants, quote it directly when someone asks a question. It relies on concise answer blocks under question-shaped headings, FAQ and definition content, and schema that tells the engine what each passage answers.
