        "text": "If your AEO strategy isn’t producing visible answer placements after several months, the most common issues are vague questions, weak direct answers, missing or incorrect schema, and thin authority signals. Machines need clear, well‑structured, trustworthy content to promote you as the answer.\n\nIt’s rarely just one problem; usually, content quality and technical implementation need to be aligned.\n\nKey failure points:\n- Questions that don’t match how users actually search\n- Long, meandering content with no concise answer blocks\n- Schema that doesn’t reflect visible text or contains errors\n- Limited evidence of expertise (no bios, examples, or citations)\n\nPractically, run an audit focusing on 20–30 key questions: check title and headings, the first paragraph, and schema for each.\n\nUse what you learn to tighten answers, simplify structure, and add credibility so answer engines feel safe elevating your content.",

Audit 20–30 key questions, ensure each has a clear answer near the top, fix schema, and strengthen expertise and trust elements to recover."
