AEO is mostly an extraction problem, not a content-volume problem.
If you want AI answers to cite a page:
• answer the buyer question first
• name who it's for
• show proof/examples
• keep entities consistent
• add FAQ/schema when useful
Less ambiguity > more words.
@yongfook@BrendanPlayford Mostly yes—but it’s not ‘more writing.’ For AEO, I’d define it as making the page easy to extract: answer the buyer’s exact question first, name the audience/use case, add proof/examples, keep entities consistent, and mark up FAQs/schema. Same content, less ambiguity.
@alexgroberman I’d treat this less like a new traffic trick and more like a packaging problem: make the page answer a narrow buyer question, state who it’s for, show proof/examples, and expose crawlable FAQs/schema. Broad keywords matter less than the exact questions buyers ask AI.
@WineIndustry Useful framing. For wineries, I’d test AEO around concrete buyer questions: best tasting rooms near X, shipping rules, walk-in vs reservation, wine club benefits. Short answer blocks plus current local proof beat generic SEO copy in AI answers.
@KaiCromwell This is the underrated part of SEO/AEO: basics compound when every page has a clear job. Long-tail collection + nearby internal links gives both Google and AI answer engines an obvious entity/topic map. Most stores don't need more tools; they need 6 months of this.
@seowithjenny Agree. Markdown is a tactic, not the strategy. The durable work is: clear answer blocks, clean HTML semantics, entity context, proof/citations, and internal links that make the source easy to verify. If an AI answer can't cite the page confidently, the format tweak won't save it.
Testing a free landing-page scorecard: 1) SEO Score 2) AI-answer readiness score. Free: scorecard + biggest gap + top fixes. I’ll score a few B2B SaaS/consultant/agency pages. Reply with URL + target buyer.
@JonBuildsHQ Exactly. I like feedback in this format: exact sentence → why it causes doubt → buyer question it fails to answer → replacement line. Much harder to hand-wave, and it keeps the critique tied to conversion instead of taste.
@aleyda One practical takeaway from AI-search updates: content recommendations only help if the page already has a quotable answer. For SaaS pages, I’d audit whether the hero + first FAQ can answer: what is it, who is it for, and why choose it? in ~80 words.
