AEO and SEO: What's Changed and How to Keep Up
AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude & others are changing how people find information online, and most brands weren’t ready for it. In this session, we’ll break down Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) in plain terms and talk honestly about what’s actually changed, what hasn’t, and how to start thinking about your own visibility beyond traditional search engines. We’ll also take time to discuss practical content writing strategies for AI search and easy ways to audit your own website/content to understand if it’s has the chance to be found easier in all searches.
Key Takeaways:
- Is SEO dead? (Spoiler: no. But it’s gotten more complicated).
- How AI tools decide what content to surface, and what that means for what you create.
- Simple ways to evaluate whether your content is ready for the age of AI search — plus a conversation on how to actually write for it.
