More people now type a full question, or speak it, and get an answer on the results page itself. Featured snippets, “People also ask” boxes, voice assistants and AI answers all pull a short passage from a page they can understand and trust.
AEO is the work of writing and structuring your pages so that passage is easy to find: the question as a heading, the answer in the first lines, and facts that match across your website, Google profile and listings. It builds on SEO, because a page still has to be crawlable and useful before anyone can quote it.
One honest note. Google says no special tag or file is needed to appear in its AI answers, and normal search fundamentals still apply. If someone sells you a secret AEO trick, they are guessing.
AEO works across four places customers now get answers.
Short answer boxes at the top of Google, taken from a page that states the answer clearly.
Spoken questions like “near me” searches get one short answer. Clear local details help.
AI summaries that link to the pages they used. Good SEO fundamentals and helpful content are the entry ticket.
Assistants that recommend businesses in conversation. We cover this wider effort under GEO.
The scope is agreed in writing before work starts.
We search your key questions in Google and AI tools and note where you appear, where competitors appear and why.
A list of the real questions your customers ask, from search results, your enquiries and your sales calls.
We rewrite your service pages so each question has a short, direct answer first, followed by the detail.
New FAQs and short guides for the questions your site does not answer yet, written for people first.
Schema markup added where it fits, always matching the text visitors can see on the page.
Name, address, phone, services and profiles kept identical across your website, Google profile and listings.
Crawling, indexing, speed and mobile layout, so your answers can be found at all. See technical SEO.
Each month we repeat the key questions and report whether your business appears, with screenshots where possible.
Same business, same facts. Only the structure changes.

We rewrite headings and opening lines, add FAQs, and add structured data that matches the visible text.

Countries we plan AEO for
AEO sits alongside our other search services: SEO, GEO, local SEO and technical SEO. If your site needs rebuilding first, see website design.
Quick answers before you get in touch.
AEO, or answer engine optimization, is writing and organising your pages so search engines, voice assistants and AI tools can pick them as the direct answer to a customer’s question.
SEO helps your pages rank in search results. AEO focuses on the individual answer inside a page, so it can be quoted in a snippet, a voice reply or an AI answer. AEO needs SEO underneath, because a page that cannot be found or crawled cannot be quoted.
The two overlap a lot. AEO concentrates on answering specific questions, including snippets and voice. GEO concentrates on being mentioned and cited in longer AI-generated answers. We plan them together, and you can read more on our GEO page.
No. Answers change with the question, the person asking, their location and the day. Anyone promising a fixed result is guessing. We commit to clear work, honest monthly checks and steady improvement.
It helps machines read your page, so we add it where it fits and make sure it matches the visible text. Google says no special markup is required to appear in its AI answers, so clear content always comes first.
Search engines need time to recrawl your updated pages, and AI tools refresh at different speeds, so we avoid promising dates. Each month we check your key questions and show you what has changed.
Send us your website address and the five questions customers ask most. We will check where you appear today and tell you in plain English what to fix first.
