What is answer engine optimization for B2B content?
Answer engine optimization for B2B content is how you earn citations in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews, not just rankings in Google. It works by structuring self-contained answers (30, 80 words) on the pages buyers actually evaluate: FAQ hubs, comparison pages, and product page Q&A blocks. SEO earns the click. AEO earns the quote.
Here's the part most agencies miss: AEO isn't a schema trick, it's a content operating system. If you're not cited, competitors define your category inside the answer, and that's where shortlists now form. The Starr Conspiracy builds operational AEO programs for B2B that protect SEO fundamentals while growing citation share as discovery shifts to AI.
