AEO Instead of SEO

ByBecky Rolland

What is AEO exactly?

AEO or Answer Engine Optimization, is replacing SEO. AEO utilizes AI programs to provide users with both accurate and concise answers to their searches.

Some ways you can AEO for your website include:

1. Organize your content clearly

  1. Frame content logically: use heading H2 and H3 to break down information and improve legibility.
  2. Use both numbers and bullet points: By using a list, search engines and users can find key information faster than reading a paragraph.
  3. Keep it brief: make all your information short and sweet, and avoid long wording.

2. Optimize for Featured Snippets:

  1. Give direct answers: When answering questions, make sure to give the most direct answer possible within the first 40-60 words.
  2. Arrange for featured snippets: Use bullet points and/or numbered lists for questions and definitions with multiple answers.
  3. Use schema markup to provide structured data that helps search engines understand your content. Think of an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) or a How-To article section on a website.

3. Address User Intent:

  1. Recognize user questions: identify the most common questions people ask about your content and incorporate those answers into the content. You can even use the questions as a headline.
  2. Answer directly: Make sure your content is legible and helpful when answering questions.
  3. Utilize FAQs when creating the FAQ sections—double-check to have short answers to increase the chances of being in the answer box.

4. Enhance Readability and Engagement:

  1. Split up text: use tables, bullet points, and numbered lists to split up text and make information more legible.
  2. Apply visual aids: Some people need visual aids to understand concepts better. Use infographics, images, and charts to make information easier to read.
  3. Keep everything up to date: ensure your content is current with all relevant information to keep it fresh and maintain engagement.
  4. Refresh information: Periodically update your content to ensure it remains current and accurate.

By applying these AEO strategies, you can foster more organic engagement and build trust within your brand.
