How AEO/cowriter Works

AEO/cowriter evaluates your drafts based on evidence-based AEO criteria, including answer clarity, information gain, self-containment, and semantic structure. This analysis ensures that AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini can effectively discover, understand, and cite your content.

What is AEO?
Optimize content so AI can cite it.

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of writing content that AI-powered answer engines can discover, understand, and cite.

Unlike traditional SEO that focuses on rankings, AEO focuses on being selected as the authoritative answer source by AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini.

Why use AEO/cowriter?
Pre-publication AEO analysis for every draft.

AI answer engines reference content that offers valuable information, unique insights, clear definitions, and self-contained passages. AEO/cowriter evaluates your drafts based on these criteria before you publish.

32.9% of AI citations come from well-structured, comparative content. AEO/cowriter helps you build that structure into every piece.
