What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?

AEO is the practice of structuring content so search engines and assistants can lift it as the direct answer to a question, in featured snippets, People Also Ask boxes, voice results and AI summaries.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO helps a page rank. AEO shapes the content on that page so a specific passage is chosen as the answer. They work best together.

What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?

GEO is the work of making your business easy for AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot to find, understand, trust and cite when they generate answers.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?

No one can. AI systems decide for themselves. What we can do is improve the signals they rely on, and measure how often you are mentioned and cited so you can see the trend.

What is the difference between a mention and a citation?

A mention is when the AI names your business in its answer. A citation is when it links to your website as a source. Both matter, and we report them separately.
