# Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

Optimizing content to be the source of an AI-generated answer rather than a ranked link.

Sibling discipline to GEO. AEO is more answer-centric: structuring content so that AI engines extract a specific factual answer and cite you for it. Heavy use of FAQPage schema, structured answer blocks, and entity-clear writing.
