What Is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

AEO focuses on helping businesses appear in:
- Featured snippets
- AI-generated answers
- Voice search results
- Question-based searches
- Conversational search results
The goal of AEO is simple:
Provide the clearest and most useful answer when customers are searching.
