AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation)
The discipline of formatting content so AI assistants will cite it.
In depth
AEO uses short, declarative paragraphs, dated authorship, explicit definitions, stats with sources, and rich schema (Article, FAQPage, HowTo, DefinedTerm). The goal is being the cited source inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot answers.
