What is AEO?

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of making your Shopify store discoverable, citable, and purchasable inside AI answer engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode, and Microsoft Copilot.

Unlike traditional SEO — which targets Google’s blue links — AEO targets the answer itself. When a shopper asks “best running shoes under $120” and an AI recommends your store by name, that is AEO working.
