Assistive Engine Optimization
Assistive Engine Optimization
Description
Assistive Engine Optimization (AIEO or AEO) is the strategic process of optimizing a brand’s digital ecosystem—content, structure, and signals—so it is correctly understood, trusted, and recommended by AI Assistive Engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Bing Copilot. Jason Barnard defines Assistive Engine Optimization as "The art and science of persuading AI Assistive Engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Siri, Alexa, and Copilot to recommend your solution to their users as the best in the market."
The Assistive Engine Optimization definition
This broader framework expands beyond just answers to cover the entire user journey through AI-powered experiences, from the initial query to the final conversion.
