A1. Zero‑Click Is Stealing Your Clicks. AEO Gets Them Back.
People are getting answers without clicking. Search engines and AI tools often show a summary at the top and name a few sources. If your brand isn’t one of those named sources, buyers may never reach your site. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) helps your business get named and cited inside those summaries.
What this means for a small business
Buyers ask AI, skim the summary, and make a shortlist.
If your pages don’t give short, clear answers with proof, you’re not making that shortlist.
AEO is simply: clear answer up top → a bit of proof → easy next step.
A simple plan that works
Start your page with the answer. Two or three plain sentences that a 10th‑grader could understand.
Add proof that feels real. A short client quote with a date or a quick outcome (“cut turnaround from 10 days to 4”).
End with a tiny next step. “Get the 30‑Day AEO Plan (free)” or “Book a 25‑min call.”
Finish with 2–4 common questions. Keep each answer under 3 sentences.
Keep your business details consistent on Google Business Profile and top directories.
Quick action (copy/paste)
Add this at the top of your Services page:
“If you want your brand to be named in AI answers, we build answer‑first pages with real proof so you get short‑listed—fast.”
Light, relatable tip
