Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of structuring content so it gets pulled directly into featured answers on search engines and voice assistants, such as Google’s featured snippets or answers read aloud by Siri and Alexa. It overlaps with GEO but focuses more on traditional answer boxes than AI chatbot citations. Example: A moving company formats its “How much does it cost to move a one bedroom apartment” content as a clear, direct answer near the top of the page, increasing its odds of appearing in Google’s featured snippet box.
