Why do AI citations matter?

AI citations are the sources that support generated answers. Being cited increases trust, referral traffic, and brand recall inside AI search experiences.

Can I force an AI citation?

No. You earn citations by publishing crawlable, trustworthy, specific content and reinforcing it with authoritative third-party references.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO builds crawlable authority in traditional search. AEO packages that authority into direct, structured answers, entities, FAQs, schema, and third-party citations that AI engines can understand, trust, and cite.

What should we look for in an AEO agency?

Look for an answer engine optimization agency that executes technical SEO, schema, answer-ready content, entity optimization, citation building, and AI visibility measurement instead of only delivering dashboards.
