FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about AEO and how AEOShark works.

What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?+
AEO is the practice of structuring your content so that AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude cite your brand as a source when answering user queries. Unlike SEO which targets search rankings, AEO targets AI citations, the new way people discover brands.
How is AEO different from traditional SEO?+
SEO optimizes for Google's blue links. AEO optimizes for AI-generated answers. When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity a question, the AI pulls from sources it trusts: structured, authoritative, well-cited content. AEO gets you cited in those answers, not just ranked in a list.
Which AI tools does AEOShark help me get cited in?+
AEOShark's workflow is built around the major AI answer engines: Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Bing Copilot. The research phase uses live web search to analyze which brands each of these tools is currently citing for your target queries.
Do I need any technical or SEO background to use AEOShark?+
No. You answer five setup questions about your niche, target audience, and keyword list. AEOShark handles the research, analysis, prioritization, and writing automatically. The only task requiring your judgment is approving or editing the heading structure before the article is written.
What is the one manual step in the workflow?+
Step 06: AI Verification. You manually check each of your target queries across the major AI tools and record which brands are being cited. This step requires human verification because AI tool outputs are personalized and dynamic. Every other step in the 10-step workflow is fully automated.
What do I get at the end of each AEOShark project?+
One DOCX file containing 11 deliverables: the full article, meta titles and descriptions, FAQ schema JSON-LD, image prompts, a Pinterest pin package, social media captions, internal link notes, a content refresh trigger, a topic cluster map, an infographic outline, and an external link suggestion. Everything formatted and ready to publish.
Can I use AEOShark across multiple niches or for client work?+
Yes. Each project in AEOShark is scoped to a specific niche, target market, and keyword set. You can run separate projects for different clients, products, or content verticals, each one producing its own independent research pipeline and article output.
