What is AEO (answer engine optimisation)?
Answer engine optimisation (AEO) is the practice of structuring website content so search engines can lift it as a direct answer, in places like Google’s AI Overviews, featured snippets, “People also ask” and voice assistants. It relies on clear question-led headings, concise answers, structured data and accurate, well-sourced information.
What’s included
- Question research from search and customer data
- Question-led page structure and headings
- Concise, quotable answer blocks

How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO aims to rank pages. AEO aims to have your content used as the answer itself, which needs tighter structure, shorter answers and structured data.
Does AEO replace SEO?
No. AEO builds on good SEO. Pages still need to be indexed, fast and trusted before search engines will quote them.
How do you measure AEO?
We track which queries show your content in featured snippets, People also ask and AI Overviews, and the traffic those placements bring.
