Voice & Conversational Search Optimization
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is what happens when someone asks instead of searches. "Hey Siri, find me an HVAC company near Myers Park." "ChatGPT, who's the best dentist in NoDa Charlotte?" These are conversational queries — and they require a completely different optimization strategy than keyword-based SEO.
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) IS the practice of structuring your content, schema, and entity signals so that AI assistants, voice search systems, and conversational AI platforms cite your business as the direct answer. AEO targets the response — not the ranking position.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant a local service question, they receive a spoken or typed answer — not a list of links to scroll through. AEO makes your business that answer.
