AEO

The common abbreviation for Answer Engine Optimization.

What it means

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization, the practice of making content easy for AI answer engines to find, understand, cite, and recommend. Marketers use the term to describe the shift from optimizing for ranked search results to optimizing for direct, synthesized AI answers. Being "AEO-ready" typically means having clear structure, accurate facts, strong entity signals, and machine-readable data.
