AEO (AI Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing your content to be cited by AI search engines. While GEO measures whether AI engines mention your brand, AEO measures whether your content is structured and formatted in ways that AI engines prefer to extract and cite.
Think of GEO as brand visibility (are you recommended?) and AEO as content citability (are you quoted?). Both matter for appearing in AI-generated answers.
JSON-LD depth: FAQPage, HowTo, Article, Product, Organization schemas. AI engines extract structured data to build accurate, attributed answers.
Clean H1-H6 hierarchy, question-format headings that match AI queries, and clear section organization for content extraction.
Dedicated FAQ sections with FAQPage schema, Q&A patterns, and expandable content. FAQ content is among the most-cited by AI engines.
Word count, paragraph structure, definitions, statistics, and publication dates. In-depth content gets cited significantly more often.
Organization/Person schema with sameAs social links, author attribution, and logo. AI engines cite content from established entities.
Lists, tables, code blocks, definitions, bold key terms, and numbered steps. Structured formats are easier for AI to extract and quote.
robots.txt allows GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot. Plus llms.txt and sitemap for AI-native discovery.
Internal linking depth, external citations, breadcrumbs, content categorization, and navigation breadth signal expertise.
