AEO FAQ
What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of structuring content, schema, and online entities so AI search engines — ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — cite your business as the answer when users ask local questions.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO targets traditional Google search results (10 blue links + Map Pack). AEO targets AI-generated answers above and inside those results. They overlap heavily but require different content structure, schema, and off-site signals.
Does AEO work for small Ottawa businesses?
Yes — especially for service businesses. AI engines lean heavily on local entity signals, FAQ schema, and authoritative mentions, all of which are achievable for small local businesses.
How long does AEO take to show results?
Most Ottawa businesses see citation pickup in ChatGPT and Gemini within 3–6 months. Google AI Overview inclusion can happen faster (4–8 weeks) once content + schema are in place.
Will AEO replace traditional SEO?
No — AEO complements SEO. Google still drives the majority of high-intent traffic, but AI-search now answers roughly 1 in 3 queries. You need both to dominate Ottawa search in 2026.
