Answer engine optimization (AEO) consultant
Be the source the answer quotes.
Answer engine optimization (AEO) means answer engines lift a passage and cite it — this is the work of being the passage they lift.
What it is
An answer engine doesn't rank you, it quotes you
Which means the unit of work changes. A page that ranks well can still be unquotable: the answer is buried mid-paragraph, hedged, or split across three sections a machine won't reassemble.
AEO is page-level craft — the question stated plainly, the answer directly beneath it, marked up so there's no ambiguity about what's being answered.
What I actually do
The work itself
- I find the questions your buyers actually ask, in their words
- Restructure pages so each answers one question, near the top
- Write answers that stay accurate when lifted out of context
- Add FAQ and structured-data markup so the machine reads it correctly
- Monitor which answers cite you, and fix the ones that quote you wrongly
How it works
Three stages
Find the questions
From search data, sales calls and the things customers email you.
Write the answers
One question per section, answer first, detail after.
Watch the citations
Track what gets quoted, and correct what gets quoted badly.
Who it's for
Businesses whose customers ask before they buy
- Service businesses with a long consideration step
- Anyone whose FAQ lives in a PDF
- Products that get compared and misdescribed
- Categories where the answer decides the sale
