Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) Services
Be the source AI answers cite—across Google SGE, Microsoft Copilot, and more.
Answer engines are changing how people search. Instead of ten blue links, users see a single synthesized answer that cites a handful of sources. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) helps your site become one of those sources—so your brand appears in AI answers, featured snippets, and “People also ask.”
At FOG Digital Marketing, we structure content, markup, and internal links so answer engines can understand, trust, and reference your pages. The result: more high-intent visibility where decisions happen.
What Is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of shaping your site’s information so it can be extracted, summarized, and cited by systems like Google’s AI Overviews/SGE, Microsoft Copilot, and other assistants. It builds on SEO fundamentals—crawlability, relevance, and authority—but focuses on clear answers, verified sources, and schema that reinforce credibility.
Why AEO Matters Now
Zero-click reality: Users get instant answers; citations are the new clicks.
Trust signals: Engines prefer content with sources, author identity, and evidence.
Format fit: Structured FAQs, definitions, and step-by-steps win summaries.
Local impact: Clear NAP, services, and city pages help AI route local intent to your business.
