Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
AEO is the practice of making a business, product and buyer problem easy for people and answer systems to extract, attribute and reuse. Inclusion in ChatGPT or other AI answers is not guaranteed.
In OwnedSignal’s use
AEO work starts with entity clarity, answer-first pages, FAQ and service schema, and prompt tests treated as observations.
A mention in an AI answer is one data point. It is not proof of pipeline and not a ranking we can sell.
