How to Implement AEO

for Maximum Visibility

Published on March 6, 2025 by Chris Martin Favicon 192

Now that you understand what AEO is and why it’s essential for your business, it’s time to put it into action. Implementing AEO may sound complex, but by following a few structured steps, you can ensure your content is AI-friendly and positioned to appear in direct answers, voice search, and featured snippets.

Step 1: Use Structured Data Markup

Structured data helps search engines understand and categorize your content. Implementing Schema.org markup, such as FAQ, How-To, and Speakable Schema, makes it easier for AI-driven search engines to surface your content as a top answer.

Step 2: Create Question-Based Content

AEO thrives on answering user queries. Optimize your content by identifying common customer questions and providing clear, concise answers. Using an FAQ format can significantly increase your chances of appearing in "People Also Ask" (PAA) boxes and featured snippets.

Step 3: Optimize for Voice Search

With more users turning to voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri, your content needs to match conversational search patterns. Keep answers short, use natural language, and aim for a reading level that is easy to understand.

Step 4: Format for AI-Friendly Search

Search engines prioritize well-structured content. Use:

  • Clear headers (H2, H3) to break up sections.
  • Bulleted lists for scannable content.
  • Concise, direct answers within the first 100 words of your page.

Step 5: Improve Website Speed & Mobile Friendliness

AI-driven search prioritizes fast, user-friendly websites. Ensure your site loads quickly, is mobile-optimized, and provides a seamless user experience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Even with these steps, you might have a few lingering questions about AEO implementation. Here are five key questions and answers to help you get started:

A quick way to check is by searching for common industry-related questions. If your content isn’t appearing in featured snippets or voice search results, optimization may be needed.

Not necessarily! Many CMS platforms offer plugins that help add structured data without needing to code.

Just like SEO, AEO requires continuous updates. Regularly audit your content, monitor search trends, and adjust accordingly.

SEO focuses on ranking pages higher in search results, while AEO ensures your content is surfaced as a direct answer in AI-powered search results.

Results can vary, but most businesses see improvements within 3 to 6 months as search engines index and prioritize their optimized content.
