Answer Engine Optimization (AEO): Be Found by AI, Not Just Google

AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are answering your customers' questions before they ever click a link. StratifySEO helps you optimize for this new reality.

What is AEO?

A new layer on top of SEO

AEO vs traditional SEO

AEO targets AI answer engines that summarize information directly. SEO targets ranked search result pages. Modern strategy needs both.

Why zero-click is growing

Google AI Overviews and AI assistants increasingly answer questions inside the search interface, reducing clicks but increasing brand visibility for cited sources.

Structured content gets cited

Schema.org markup, FAQ blocks, clear headings, and concise answers signal to AI engines that your content is safe to cite verbatim.
