If you’re serious about staying visible in an AI-driven world, you can’t ignore your AEO strategy. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is how brands are getting picked up by AI engines like ChatGPT, Google’s SGE, and voice assistants. The good news? You don’t need a total website overhaul to start. A few smart moves can set your AEO strategy on the right path right now.
1. Answer Specific Questions in Your Content
Today’s search engines and answer engines love clear, direct responses.
✔ Add an FAQ section to important pages on your site.
✔ Start blog posts with a quick 2–3 sentence answer before diving deeper.
✔ Think like your customers: “What would I ask if I needed this?”
This simple shift makes your content far more likely to be selected by AI tools delivering answers.
2. Add FAQ and HowTo Structured Data
Structured data is like a shortcut that tells search engines, “Hey, this content answers a question!”
✔ Use FAQ schema on service pages, product pages, and blogs.
✔ Implement HowTo schema when you’re explaining a process.
✔ Keep answers clear, natural, and free from keyword stuffing.
By strengthening your structured data setup, you’ll boost both your SEO and your AEO strategy at the same time.
3. Write for Humans, Not Robots
Algorithms may run the searches, but humans are still making the decisions.
✔ Break up long paragraphs for easy scanning.
✔ Write like you’re talking to a real person, not submitting a technical report.
✔ Keep sentences varied and avoid heavy jargon unless absolutely necessary.
AEO strategy isn’t about gaming the system. It’s about helping real people get the real answers they need ~ fast.
