        "text": "You’ll know your AEO strategy is working when your content starts appearing in AI Overviews, “People Also Ask” boxes, featured snippets, and voice responses—even if overall traffic numbers don’t spike immediately. The key is tracking answer placements and citation quality, not just clicks.\n\nMany wins show up first as qualitative changes in how users find and describe you.\n\nKey indicators:\n- Growing presence in AI Overviews for target queries\n- Featured snippets and FAQ rich results tied to your pages\n- Higher share of branded searches and referral mentions\n- Better conversion rates from visitors landing on Q&A‑structured pages\n\nPractically, tag and monitor pages with FAQ and HowTo schema, and track which queries they capture in search tools and analytics.\n\nThink of AEO success as “being quoted more often by machines,” which gradually compounds into more qualified traffic and leads.",
