FAQ
An AEO writing tool checks content structure before publishing. It verifies that paragraphs are standalone, sentences are short enough for AI extraction, and FAQ answers follow the format AI systems prefer. Most AEO tools track visibility after publishing. Writing tools fix the problem earlier.
Yes. The rules AI systems use to index and cite content are consistent across niches. Sentence length limits, paragraph independence, and FAQ structure matter whether you write about finance, health, or technology. The specific banned words list is based on the AEOShark content system.
