Definition

What is answer engine optimization (aeo)?

AEO is the practice of structuring content for direct extraction into AI-generated answers and voice search results. Compared to GEO (broader brand inclusion), AEO is the page-level discipline of getting your specific passage quoted. Hallmarks: question-form headings, atomic 1-2 sentence answers in the first 200 words, FAQPage schema, and HowTo schema for procedures.

FAQ

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) questions from Pretoria operators

Is AEO different from GEO?
AEO is a subset of GEO. AEO focuses on direct passage extraction for question-form queries. GEO covers the broader entity-and-brand inclusion problem across all query types.
What is an answer capsule?
A 2-3 sentence atomic paragraph in the first 200 words of a page that directly answers the title's question. It is the passage AI engines extract most easily.
Should every paragraph be an answer capsule?
No. Leading capsules earn extraction; later paragraphs provide depth and trust signals. The mix is what wins.
Does long-form content still help AEO?
Yes. Long-form pages with strong capsules outrank short pages with weak structure. Extraction comes from the capsule; trust comes from the depth.
How is AEO measured?
Track citations in Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Gemini per page. Pages that win regular extraction become AEO-optimized; pages that do not need restructuring.
