        "text": "Answer engines evaluate trust using signals similar to, but broader than, traditional search—expertise, consistency, reviews, and cross-channel corroboration. You need to look credible to both humans and machines.\n\nThey favor content from sources with clear authorship, strong topical authority, and aligned information across the web.\n\nKey factors:\n- E-E-A-T (experience, expertise, authoritativeness, trustworthiness)\n- Consistent business details across profiles and directories\n- Volume and quality of third-party reviews and mentions\n- Clean, well-structured content with minimal contradictions\n\nAudit your brand’s footprint: bios, case studies, reviews, and external citations, then shore up weak areas before aggressively scaling AEO. Make sure your claims are backed by evidence.\n\nA trust-focused AEO approach trains answer engines to see your brand as a reliable source, increasing the likelihood of being cited for multiple related questions.",

Strengthen E-E-A-T signals and cross-channel consistency before scaling AEO to increase your odds of being cited."
