AEO, Answer Engine Optimization
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of structuring content so it is likely to be cited by AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google's AI overviews when those tools generate direct answers to user questions. Where SEO focuses on ranking in a list of search results, AEO focuses on becoming the source those results reference. AEO-optimized content is direct, factual, structured, and written to answer specific questions clearly.
At Wire Design Company, every website is built with AEO in mind — page structure, copy, and technical setup are all designed to support both search and AI visibility.
