Frequently asked questions

What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
AEO is optimizing content so AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews — can find, understand and quote it. It overlaps with SEO but weights crawler access, schema markup and extractable Q&A structure over backlinks.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO ranks documents in a list; AEO wins citations inside a generated answer. Rankings still matter, but an answer engine needs your page to be crawlable by AI bots, machine-readable (schema) and chunkable into self-contained answers.
How long does an AEO fix take to show results?
Technical fixes — robots.txt allows, llms.txt, schema — are usually picked up within days to a few weeks of recrawl. Content structure changes depend on recrawl frequency of your site.
