What Is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

Answer engine optimization is the practice of structuring content so it can be directly quoted as a complete, accurate answer by AI chat assistants and voice search systems.

AEO favors self-contained, unambiguous answers near the top of a page — the same structure (question as heading, direct answer as the first sentence) used across this glossary.
