The focus is owning the direct answers to your buyers' most valuable questions, in Google features, assistants and AI chat. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) structures your content so search engines and assistants can lift a direct answer from it: featured snippets, People Also Ask boxes, AI Overviews, voice answers and chat replies.
Buyers increasingly ask full questions and accept the first good answer they see. If your page holds the clearest answer, you win visibility even when no click happens, and you are the brand they remember when they are ready to buy.

How I work
- Collect questions. Pull questions from Search Console, PAA, competitors, support tickets and sales notes.
- Prioritise. Rank them by buying intent and gap: where a better answer could realistically win.
- Write and restructure. Lead with the answer, then support it with steps, data, examples and sources.
- Mark up and link. Add matching schema and connect answers through internal links and hubs.
- Track and refresh. Watch snippet and AI citation changes and refresh answers when the SERP shifts.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between AEO and SEO?
SEO aims to rank pages; AEO aims to be the answer itself. AEO builds on SEO, because engines usually pull answers from pages they already trust, but it changes how each page is written and structured.
Is AEO the same as GEO?
They overlap. AEO focuses on direct answers in search features and assistants; GEO focuses on being cited and recommended inside generative AI answers. In practice I run them together.
Do zero-click answers hurt my traffic?
They can reduce clicks on simple questions, but they build brand recall and often lead to branded searches later. The aim is to win the answers that lead to high-intent follow-up clicks.
Will FAQ schema still help?
Google shows FAQ rich results for very few sites now, but well-written FAQ content and accurate markup still help engines and AI tools understand the page. The content matters more than the markup.
How quickly can a snippet be won?
Sometimes within days of a page being recrawled, sometimes never if the competitor answer is stronger. That is why I target a portfolio of questions rather than betting on one.
