How to Get Recommended by AI: AEO Guide
More people are asking AI tools direct questions instead of browsing long lists of search results. That means your business now has to compete to be clearly understood and confidently recommended.
If your site is vague, inconsistent, or thin, AI systems are less likely to surface it. If it is specific, structured, and trustworthy, your odds improve.

Strong service descriptions, geographic specificity, useful FAQs, consistent business information, and better trust evidence all help.
What to fix first
Start with your homepage, core service pages, FAQ content, and business consistency across the web. Then support those with articles that answer real buyer questions directly.
