Traditional keyword-based SEO has surrendered the throne to AEO. Autonomous buyers don’t browse through a list of results; they query response engines and LLMs (Large Language Models) to find the best option based on hyper-specific parameters.

In AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), the opposite is true. The first sentence should contain the core answer.

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the discipline of optimizing your content so that AI response engines can: -find it -understand it -and use it as a source when answering questions. You're not optimizing for clicks on your link. You're optimizing for AI to speak for you.
