We map entities and relationships so your content aligns with how engines understand topics.

E-E-A-T & citations system
Author creds, sourcing rules, and version history that increase trust signals.
Measurable impact

FAQ

AEO FAQs

AEO structures content so engines and assistants can extract precise, trustworthy answers: concise summaries, schema, entities, citations, and helpful UX.

SEO is broader. AEO focuses specifically on answer formats (snippets, PAA, HowTo), trust signals, and content structures that assistants surface.

No. We prioritize high-intent queries and retrofit pages with answer modules, schema, and citations first-then expand.

Answers/snippets won, PAA coverage, CTR, non-brand clicks, assistant visibility, and conversion lift on instrumented pages.
