Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
Get your content cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Mistral as the authoritative source.
AEO is the practice of optimizing content for citation in LLM-generated responses — distinct from SEO, which optimizes for search rankings. This skill audits, optimizes, and tracks AEO performance.
Distinct From SEO
| SEO | AEO | |
|---|---|---|
| Optimizes for | Click-through rankings | Being cited as authoritative source |
| Audience | Humans browsing search results | LLMs answering questions |
| Success metric | Position 1-10, organic traffic | Citation count across LLMs |
| Key signals | Backlinks, keywords, page speed | E-E-A-T, structured data, factual density |
| Update cadence | Weeks-to-months | Days-to-weeks (LLM training cycles) |
Both can coexist — the same content can rank #1 on Google AND get cited by Perplexity. But the techniques differ: SEO rewards keyword density + backlinks; AEO rewards primary-source signals + structured facts.
