Frequently Asked Questions

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It's the process of making sure your business shows up when people ask AI assistants (like ChatGPT or Google's AI Overview) about your type of business. Traditional SEO targets Google's blue links — AEO targets the AI answers that are replacing them.
