Frequently Asked Questions

7 answered
What is AEO and why does it matter now?

Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) is the practice of structuring your content so that AI-powered search tools — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT search, Perplexity — can accurately extract and cite your answers. As AI-generated results displace traditional blue-link clicks, being cited in those answers is where visibility is moving.

How is AEO different from traditional SEO?

SEO optimises for a ranked list of blue links; AEO optimises for being the source an AI cites when it constructs an answer. AEO requires explicit structure — FAQ schema, entity markup, concise answer blocks — that tells a language model exactly what your answer is, not just that your page is relevant.

Does AEO benefit local businesses too?

Significantly — local businesses that appear in AI-generated 'best [service] in [city]' answers gain high-intent traffic that would otherwise go to aggregator sites. AEO for local also means proper LocalBusiness schema, service area markup, and review schema integration.

What content changes are required for AEO?

Pages need concise, self-contained answer blocks for each key question your audience asks. We either write this content or restructure your existing copy. FAQ sections, step-by-step how-to content, and definitive 'what is' sections are the highest-leverage formats.

Is AEO a one-time project or ongoing work?

The structural foundation (schema, entity markup, page architecture) is set once and holds long-term. Ongoing AEO — adding new FAQ content, monitoring new AI query patterns, expanding answer coverage — is available as a subscription add-on and compounds in value over time.

What is the difference between schema markup and full AEO?

Schema markup is a component of AEO — it makes content machine-readable. Full AEO also includes content strategy (what questions to answer), answer formatting (concise, direct, citable), entity disambiguation (helping AI models identify your brand accurately), and ongoing monitoring. Schema without the right content strategy produces limited results.

What does your AEO project process look like step by step?

Phase 1 (days 1–2): audit identifying schema gaps, missing FAQ coverage, and entity issues. Phase 2 (weeks 1–2): content restructuring and schema writing. Phase 3 (week 2–3): implementation and Rich Results Test validation. Phase 4 (week 3+): Search Console submission and 30-day monitoring setup.
