What is answer engine optimisation?

AEO is the practice of structuring content so it wins featured snippets, voice answers and other zero-click surfaces where the user gets the answer without visiting a page. It relies on question-shaped headings, self-contained answers of 40 to 60 words and precise structured data.

Is AEO worth it if users never click?

Yes — the answer box carries brand attribution and is the strongest trust signal on the results page, and it consistently lifts branded search afterwards. Measurement shifts from clicks alone to answer ownership plus downstream branded demand.

By identifying queries where a snippet already exists, then answering the question directly in the first two sentences under a matching heading, in the format the current snippet uses. Matching the existing format — paragraph, list or table — matters as much as the wording.

What schema does AEO need?

FAQPage, HowTo where genuinely procedural, Article, Organization and Product markup, all matching visible page text exactly. Markup that does not match what a user can see risks a manual action rather than a richer result.
