You run your business like a pro. Marketing? That’s our job.
Are You Ready?
You’re optimizing headlines, tweaking meta descriptions, building backlinks and somehow still getting leapfrogged in the search results. Why?
Because search has changed. Again.
Google is no longer just a list of links. Now, it’s an AI-powered, answer-generating machine ...and unless your content is built for it, you’re invisible.
Enter AEO: Answer Engine Optimization. And yes, it’s real.
AEO is about optimizing your content not just for keywords, but for answers... clear, structured, authoritative responses that AI search engines can pull directly into:
You’re no longer competing just for Page 1 - you’re competing for the instant answer at the top of the SERP.
It’s not either/or. It’s both/and. But your strategy needs to evolve - fast.
Google is actively testing and rolling out AI Overviews. That means:
If you’re not structuring your content to show up in this new format, you’re handing visibility to competitors who are.
AI-powered search isn’t coming - it’s already here. And while SEO fundamentals still matter, visibility is now earned by how well you answer, not just how well you rank.
If you’re creating content without AEO in mind, you’re building for yesterday’s algorithm.
If you want to dominate in today’s search landscape, your content needs to work with AI, not against it. That means structuring every post, page, and guide to serve up fast, useful, AI-friendly answers.
...and without losing your rankings or your mind.
Still wrapping your head around AEO? You’re not alone. As AI-powered search continues to evolve, even seasoned marketers are trying to figure out how to balance traditional SEO with the demands of real-time, AI-driven results. Here’s what you need to know.
Nope. Think of AEO as an evolution of SEO, not a replacement. You still need solid keyword research, backlinks, and search intent alignment - but AEO adds a layer that helps your content get picked up by AI features like Google’s AI Overview and Featured Snippets.
Right now, Google doesn’t provide a dedicated report for AEO visibility - but you can track it manually by:
Not necessarily. Many CMS platforms (like WordPress or Webflow) have plugins or built-in options for adding schema. For more complex markup or large-scale rollouts, your dev team might need to step in - but basic FAQ or How-To schema is pretty plug-and-play.
Structured, question-based, and informational content performs best. Think:
AEO impact isn’t always immediate, but snippets and AI features can update faster than traditional rankings. If your content is well-structured and answers a real query, you could see visibility within a few weeks. The key is consistency - and tracking the right metrics.
DIY marketing can cost more than it saves. Learn how guesswork, wasted time, and missed opportunities hurt your business growth.
