AI search optimization, explained

How to make your website easier for AI assistants and answer engines to find, understand and cite.

What is AI search optimization?

AI search optimization — sometimes called generative engine optimization (GEO) or answer engine optimization (AEO) — is the work of making your website easy for AI systems to access, interpret and trust. It builds on the same foundations as good technical SEO.

The foundations that matter

AI systems can only use what they can reach and read. The basics come first:

  • Crawlers are allowed to access your pages
  • Key content is present in the delivered HTML, not only rendered by JavaScript
  • Clear titles, descriptions and headings
  • Accurate structured data describing your business
  • Consistent name, contact and service information
  • A sitemap and healthy internal links
