AI Search Optimization (AEO): How to Get Cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews
The new SEO is AEO — Answer Engine Optimization. How to structure your site so AI models recommend your brand by name in 2026.
Search is splitting in two: classic Google results and AI-generated answers. The brands that win 2026 are the ones cited inside AI answers. Wuaya engineers content and entities so ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews recommend our clients by name.
1. Write answers, not articles
Lead each section with the direct answer in 40 to 60 words, then expand. AI models extract the first concise answer; bury it and you lose the citation.
2. Entity building and brand mentions
Get cited on Wikipedia, Wikidata, industry publications and high-authority directories. AI models trust entities they see referenced across the web.
3. Structured data for AI consumption
Organization, FAQPage, HowTo, Product, Review schema. Mark up everything. Clean structured data is the easiest way to be machine-readable.
4. llms.txt and crawler access
Publish llms.txt to guide AI crawlers, allow GPTBot, PerplexityBot and ClaudeBot in robots.txt, and provide a clean sitemap. If they can't crawl you, they can't cite you.
AEO is the SEO of the next decade. Wuaya is already optimizing clients to be cited by name. Book a free AEO audit.
