The AEO Standard
Answer engine optimization is the work of making a practice legible to the engines that now answer for it: stating plainly who you are, what you treat, where you are, and who you serve, in a form an engine can read and repeat. The AEO Standard is our public account of what those engines look for before they will name you. It is not about tricking an engine; it is about being the clearest, safest practice for it to cite.
- What is answer engine optimization, and how is it different from SEO?
- What does an AI engine actually look for before it will name my practice?
- How do I make my practice something ChatGPT and Gemini can quote?
- Why does AI cite some practices and skip others in the same city?
