The first 40–60 words of each section are a ready-made answer the AI can take without reworking.
Question-format headings
H2 and H3 in question format match user queries and land in featured snippets and AI Overviews.
FAQ and named entities
A FAQ block with FAQPage schema and named entity density increase the chance of the AI engine extracting a fragment.
Facts and citability
Concrete figures, statistics and attributed expert quotes make content the first candidate for inclusion in an AI answer.
We rewrite pages so ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite your site.
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the content structure that lets AI answer engines find a direct answer from the first lines rather than blindly scanning the whole page. Question-format headings, FAQ, facts, named entities and "sliceable" fragments raise citation rates by up to ~40% according to the Princeton GEO study.

Quick answer
AEO content adaptation means restructuring pages so ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews find and cite the direct answer. The main techniques: direct answer in the first lines, question-format H2/H3, FAQ block with FAQPage schema, named entities and factual data. According to the Princeton GEO study, this optimisation can raise citation rates by up to ~40%.
This page explains what AEO content adaptation means, how it differs from classic SEO and how we rewrite pages to appear in answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Yandex Neuro. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is a subset of GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): a special structure that lets an answer engine extract a citable fragment without reworking it. The key elements are: a direct answer in the first 40–60 words of each section, question-format H2/H3 headings, a FAQ block with FAQPage schema, named entity density (terms, brands, methodologies, locations), concrete figures instead of generalities and attributed expert quotes in blockquote. Below: the step-by-step adaptation process, a comparison table of regular content vs AEO content, data from the Princeton GEO study on how these techniques affect citation rates, 10 frequently asked questions and our AI-SEO packages with real prices.
How do we adapt content for AI answer engines?.
Eight steps: from audit to publishing the AEO page
Adapting content for AEO is not editing for its own sake. We first check how the current page appears (or fails to appear) in AI answers, then restructure the content architecture according to citation rules: direct answer at the start of each section, question-format headings, named entity density, FAQ with FAQPage schema and attributed facts. Below are the eight concrete steps we follow for each page.
AEO page structure: each section opens with a direct answer the AI engine can use without reworking.
1Audit the current page: check whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite your content for target queries.
2Define the page's main question: the single phrase the AI answer engine looks for a response to.
3Rewrite the lead block: a 40–60 word direct answer with a concrete fact or figure in the first lines.
4Convert declarative H2s into question format ("How…?", "How much…?", "What is…?").
5Add named entities: terms, brands, methodologies, locations — at least 15 per 1,000 words.
6Embed an attributed expert quote in a blockquote — it increases the fragment's weight for AI citation.
7Build a FAQ block (5–10 pairs) and mark it up with FAQPage schema from schema.org.
8Verify the result: test the page in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews and record the citation rate increase.
How does AEO content differ from regular content?.
AEO-adapted content: concrete figures, named entities and FAQ raise the chance of appearing in featured snippets and AI Overviews.
Comparison: regular content vs AEO content by key criteria
The key difference is not length or keywords, but "sliceability": whether an AI answer engine can take a specific fragment and insert it into a response without reworking it. Regular SEO content is optimised for ranking; AEO content is optimised for extraction. Below is a comparison table across seven criteria.
Criterion
Regular content
AEO content
Section opening
Introduction, context, warming up the reader
Direct answer of 40–60 words with a fact or figure
Heading format
Declarative: "Types", "Benefits", "Price"
Question: "What is…?", "How much does… cost?", "How to choose…?"
Named entities
Sparse, unsystematic
At least 15 per 1,000 words: terms, brands, methodologies, locations
1–3 sentences per paragraph — "sliceable" fragments
How effective is AEO optimisation according to research?.
Princeton GEO study: citation rate increase of up to ~40%
In 2023, researchers from Princeton University and several other universities published the first academic study on optimising content for generative AI engines: GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). They tested various techniques: source authority, citations, statistics, simplified language, query reframing, adding named entities and Wikipedia-style writing. Result: several techniques, including adding statistics, citations and named entities, raised "citability" (visibility of the position in the AI response) by an average of up to ~40% compared with the baseline version of the page. These are the first quantitative data on the effectiveness of AEO/GEO optimisation.
Expert opinion
«According to the study "GEO: Generative Engine Optimization" (Princeton et al., 2023), certain content optimisation techniques — adding statistics, expert citations and named entities — can increase a page's visibility and citation rate in generative AI engines by an average of up to ~40%.»

Conclusion
In short: what AEO is and what you get.
AEO content adaptation means restructuring page architecture so ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Yandex Neuro find and cite your site. The key elements: a direct answer in the first lines of each section, question-format H2/H3, a FAQ block with FAQPage schema, named entity density of at least 15 per 1,000 words, concrete facts and figures instead of generic words and attributed expert quotes in blockquote. According to the Princeton GEO study (2023), this optimisation can raise citation rates by up to ~40%. We audit, rewrite content to AEO rules and verify the result in real AI engines.

ChatGPT ranking
So ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overview recommend your company when a customer asks “who’s the best in Valencia” — from €490 a month.
Ranking inside AI models works differently from classic SEO: what matters is how facts about your company are structured, how quotable they are, and whether you show up in the sources the models read. Every month we check what ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity say about you and fix whatever keeps you out of the answer. The field is young, so we work on subscription: models keep changing and a set-it-once setup doesn’t hold here. In Spain these services run €1,500–5,000 a month — we come in three times cheaper.
