What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is optimizing content to be the direct answer an AI or search engine returns to a question, rather than one of ten blue links. It overlaps heavily with GEO: AEO emphasizes question-answer structure, while GEO emphasizes being cited across generative engines.
