Answer Engine Optimization.

The work of being cited when someone asks a model instead of a search bar.

Traffic from answer engines looks nothing like traffic from Google. It's fewer clicks, higher intent, and the surface that decides your visibility isn't a SERP — it's a paragraph. We design for that paragraph.

Practically, this means re-shaping existing content for citeability, publishing structured data an LLM can parse, and building the kind of off-site presence (reviews, mentions, structured profiles) that models actually train on.
