01 / THE SHIFT
Search is no longer just a list of links.
People now ask complete questions and expect complete answers. AI Overviews, assistants, and conversational search synthesize information before a customer ever reaches a website.
AEO is the discipline of making your brand eligible for that answer. It combines technical accessibility, entity clarity, expert content, structured information, and off-site authority.
