        "text": "If you rely heavily on AI assistants, answer engine optimization directly affects how often your business is mentioned and recommended.\n\nAEO is essentially about making your brand easy for AI to recognize and trust as a source of answers.\n\n**Key factors**\n- Use structured data (Article, FAQPage, LocalBusiness) to define your entity.\n- Create content that explains who you are, what you do, and where you operate.\n- Publish original data, frameworks, or methodologies AI can cite.\n- Monitor AI citations and featured snippets as a core performance metric.\n\nAlign your content with the way assistants summarize topics and recommend services, not just how search engines rank pages.\n\nThink of AEO as your brand’s “AI discoverability” strategy, especially in voice-driven environments.",
