AEO (answer engine optimization)

AEO (answer engine optimization) is structuring your content so search features and AI assistants can lift a direct answer from it and cite you.

In practice that means stating the answer in the first sentence under a question-shaped heading, keeping facts specific and dated, and marking questions and answers up with structured data.

Why it matters to an agent

Buyers and sellers increasingly ask questions like "how much does it cost to sell a house in North Vancouver" and read the answer without clicking. Being the quoted source keeps your name in front of them.
