Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the work of making content eligible, clear, verifiable, and measurable across systems that generate direct answers. This guide separates durable practices from citation and schema myths.
No page can force an AI citation. This guide shows how to meet ordinary eligibility requirements, build evidence passages that travel, and measure retrieval without ranking promises.
Shared keywords do not prove harmful overlap. Diagnose page jobs, evidence, internal links, and search behavior, then keep, reposition, merge, or retire each URL.
Use AI to organize a source-bounded brief, expose evidence gaps, and test the outline. Keep factual authority, information gain, and publication judgment with the editor.
