Dictionary
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)
Optimizing content to be cited by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.
Definition
Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of structuring content so AI search engines can extract, cite and quote it. It emphasizes clear definitions, factual short paragraphs, schema markup, source authority and topical depth — the things LLM-powered retrieval pipelines actually parse.
Example
A SaaS adds a clean FAQ block, schema.org markup and short standalone definitions at the top of each article; within weeks they start appearing in Perplexity citations and ChatGPT browsing answers.
