A practical guide to Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) outlines strategies to enhance brand visibility in AI chatbots. Key recommendations include measuring current AI visibility, creating high-quality content, engaging with user-generated content platforms, and focusing on authoritative mentions across the web. AEO differs from traditional SEO by emphasizing brand representation in AI rather than just optimizing one's own site.

Websites with higher organic search traffic tend to be mentioned more frequently in AI search systems like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity, with the strongest correlation found in Perplexity. User-generated content sites like YouTube and Wikipedia are favored, while social media and corporate sites lag behind. Overall, creating engaging content in forums and videos is essential for visibility in AI searches.
