AI assistants now answer a meaningful share of the questions your buyers used to type into Google. Answer engine optimization is the practice of making your content the source those assistants cite.
The fundamentals overlap with classic SEO: server-rendered pages, clear headings, one question answered per section. What changes is the unit of consumption. An assistant does not send a visitor to your page; it extracts a passage. So each section needs to stand alone: a direct answer in the first sentence, then evidence, then a source-worthy detail like a number or a named method.
Start by checking whether AI crawlers can fetch your site at all. Then rewrite your top ten organic pages so that every H2 could be quoted verbatim as an answer. Measure referrals from assistant domains in your analytics tool monthly.
