        "text": "AEO software can surface gaps in your documentation—missing FAQs, incomplete how‑tos, and unclear product explanations—but it can’t write authoritative content if your internal knowledge is scattered or undocumented. You’ll still need subject matter experts to fill in the details.\n\nThe tools may suggest topics and structures, yet the real expertise must come from your team to earn trust from answer engines.\n\nKey factors:\n- Availability of SMEs to clarify processes and edge cases\n- Ability to translate internal know‑how into public content\n- Workflow for reviewing and approving new documentation\n- Use of the software’s content briefs as starting points, not final drafts\n\nStart by using AEO insights to prioritize the most confusing or high-impact topics, then run short interviews with SMEs to gather accurate answers. Turn those into FAQ and how‑to content backed by schema.\n\nThink of AEO as a spotlight on where your documentation is weak, not a replacement for the expertise needed to fix it.",
