Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
End-to-end practice of optimizing content to be cited by LLMs when they generate answers. Covers the technical foundations (how LLMs select sources), content structuring patterns (Q&A schema, citation-worthy patterns), measurement (which content gets cited, by which LLM, how often), and the strategic positioning that differentiates AEO from traditional SEO and from AI-SEO.
This skill is provider-aware but provider-agnostic: works for content optimized for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, and emerging AI surfaces.
