Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) Services

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) structures your content so search engines and assistants can lift it as a direct answer: featured snippets, People Also Ask boxes, voice search results and AI answers. We find the questions your customers ask, write short, accurate answers near the top of each page, add FAQ and how-to structure and mark them up with schema.

Many searches now end on the results page or inside an AI assistant. If your page gives the clearest answer, it is the one quoted, often with your brand name and a link. AEO turns your expertise into that answer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is writing and structuring content so search engines and AI assistants can use it as the direct answer to a question, in featured snippets, People Also Ask, voice results and AI answers.

AEO focuses on being the direct answer to specific questions. GEO focuses on how AI tools describe and recommend your brand overall. Both rely on clear, trustworthy content.

FAQ structured data helps search engines and AI tools understand your questions and answers, even when Google does not show FAQ rich results for every site.

Featured snippet and People Also Ask optimisation is included from our Create plan, and AI answer optimisation is part of Elevate.

SEO aims to rank pages; AEO aims to be the answer shown in featured snippets, voice assistants and AI tools. Good AEO builds on good SEO.

We find them from Google's People Also Ask, your sales and support conversations, and keyword tools, then prioritise by demand and business value.
