Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Answer Engine Optimization

Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of optimizing web content so AI-powered answer engines — like ChatGPT Search, Perplexity AI, Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, and Claude — can discover, understand, and cite your website when users ask questions. Unlike traditional SEO (ranking in link lists), AEO focuses on becoming the source AI systems quote in direct answers.

Yoast and Rank Math are excellent traditional SEO plugins. Answer Engine Optimization adds a dedicated AEO layer: AI citation tracking, AEO Score per post, AI FAQ generation, competitor gap analysis for AI visibility, llms.txt for AI crawlers, and schema types optimized for answer engines. It works alongside them — not as a replacement.

Yes. Every feature in this plugin is free with no Pro tier, no feature locks, and no upsell prompts. AI-powered features use your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini) so there are no hidden subscription costs from us.

No. Core features — schema markup, AEO scoring, site audit, FAQ management, Open Graph tags, llms.txt, and local business schema — work completely without any API key. API keys only unlock AI content rewriting, AI FAQ generation, and content briefs.

Yes. The plugin automatically outputs Article, FAQPage, WebSite, Organization, and post-specific JSON-LD schema. You can also build custom schema with the visual Schema Builder supporting 40+ Schema.org types including Product, HowTo, LocalBusiness, Recipe, and Event.

FAQPage schema is one of the strongest signals for AI answer engines and Google featured snippets. When you mark up questions and answers with structured data, AI systems can extract and cite your answers directly. The plugin auto-generates FAQs with AI and deploys FAQPage schema on every page with FAQ content.

The plugin optimizes the signals AI engines use: structured data, clear Q&A format, direct answers, semantic clarity, and crawlability (llms.txt, AI bot directives). While no plugin can guarantee citations, sites with strong FAQ schema, high AEO scores, and comprehensive structured data consistently perform better in AI answer results.

Yes. When WooCommerce is active, the plugin automatically generates Product schema with price, currency, availability (InStock/OutOfStock), aggregate ratings, SKU, brand, and product images on every product page.

Yes. The plugin adds direct answer blocks, conversational FAQ formatting, speakable schema signals, and flags answers over 40 words for voice search trimming — all designed to improve performance in Google Assistant and voice-based AI queries.

Yes. The Local Business module supports multiple locations with NAP (Name, Address, Phone), opening hours, geo coordinates, area served, and LocalBusiness JSON-LD schema — optimized for "near me" and local AI queries.
