Can I implement AEO on my existing website?

Yes. AEO can be implemented on existing websites by adding structured content, FAQs with schema markup, TL;DR-style summaries, clear headings and entity definitions, and internal linking. The AEO Masterclass from Elevate AI Consulting uses a live website as the example to show exactly how AI search engines read and choose content—you can apply the same principles to your site.

How does AEO help with zero-click search?

AEO structures content so AI systems can extract direct answers and present them to users without requiring a click to your website. In zero-click search, users get their answer in the AI interface (e.g., ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews). AEO makes it more likely your brand is the one cited. The AEO Masterclass by Thiago E. Ferreira shows how to optimize for this behavior.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO focuses on ranking pages in search results. AEO focuses on being selected as the answer in AI-generated responses, often in zero-click search experiences where users get their answer directly from the AI. AEO builds on top of SEO: strong SEO is the foundation; AEO improves how AI systems interpret and surface your content. Thiago E. Ferreira's AEO Masterclass explains both and how they work together.

Is AEO replacing SEO?

No. AEO is not replacing SEO. AEO builds on top of SEO. Strong SEO provides the foundation; AEO improves how AI systems interpret and surface your content. SEO helps you rank in search results; AEO helps you become the answer that AI systems choose to cite. Both are important, and they work together—as covered in the Elevate AI Consulting AEO Masterclass.

What AI search engines does AEO optimize for?
