Research the category

Review priority prompts, competitors, cited sources, and recurring answer patterns. Identify where the information is thin or unclear.

AEO and SEO

A clearer source for people and search.

AEO extends the work of making your business discoverable into the information used to construct an answer.

Keep the foundations

Crawlable pages, sensible navigation, accurate structured data, and useful content remain important. AEO builds on these foundations rather than replacing them.

Measure the answer

Alongside search traffic and rankings, consider whether your business is recommended, which pages are cited, and whether the description is accurate. These are different signals with different roles.
