How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO helps you rank. AEO helps answer engines cite you as a direct source. You optimize for clarity, structure, and quotable knowledge — not just rankings.

Is llms.txt a ranking factor?

It’s not a guaranteed ranking factor. Think of it as a discovery/navigation file for LLMs, especially useful when combined with sitemaps and a knowledge graph.

What content gets cited more often by AI?

Clear answers, step-by-step instructions, tables/checklists, code examples, and trustworthy sources — aligned with what’s visibly on the page.

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

If you want more than rankings — if you want to be the cited answer — AEO is the playbook.

1) Write “answerable” content

Start with a one-sentence TL;DR
Use checklists, steps, and tables for key info
Include code snippets and credible sources

2) Provide AI discovery entry points

This site exposes llms.txt and knowledge.json as discovery/navigation assets.
