        "text": "The core technical requirement for AEO is making your site easily crawlable and machine-readable for AI bots like GPTBot, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended. If answer engines can’t access or parse your content, they can’t cite you.\n\nBeyond basic SEO health, AEO adds structured data, clear entities, and answer-first formatting to help models extract accurate information reliably.\n\nKey factors:\n- Allow AI-related bots in robots.txt and avoid blocking key resources\n- Maintain fast, mobile-friendly pages with clean HTML\n- Implement schema.org types (FAQPage, HowTo, Article, Organization)\n- Use consistent names, labels, and terminology for important entities\n\nReview your robots.txt and security settings, ensure performance is solid, then add JSON-LD schema and question-based headings to priority pages. Re-validate markup with rich results tools.\n\nThink of technical AEO as building “clean pipes” for AI crawlers so your content flows into their training and retrieval systems without friction.",
