# AEO — Answer Engine Optimization
**First:** Read `~/.claude/skills/seo-references/core.md`. Apply the methodology and voice to all output. AEO lives on purchase-intent pages. It is not a program for spawning "what is" articles so a snippet has somewhere to live.
**Also read:**
- `~/.claude/skills/seo-references/data-pull-patterns.md`
- `~/.claude/skills/seo-references/sturm-shorts.md`
- `~/.claude/skills/seo-references/fan-out-diagnostic.md` — if `/geo` already ran Step 4b, reuse that table. Do not invent a second branch list.
- Companion research: https://github.com/abouchard11/ai-citation-patterns — passage length, schema, and AIO overlap numbers. Do not dump the research file into the playbook.
Unit of success: the **extracted passage**. Featured snippet, PAA answer, voice response, or the short sentence an AI Overview lifts. GEO (`/geo`) owns brand mentions and citations inside a multi-source synthesis. If the user wants both, run AEO on the page structure and GEO on the prompt matrix.
Route, do not duplicate:
- Preferred Sources frequency badge on AIO / AI Mode / Discover / Top Stories → `/preferred-source` (SHIP / MAYBE / SKIP first)
- Citation share across ChatGPT / Perplexity / Claude → `/geo`
- Fan-out heading on the same money page → `/geo` Step 4b, then the passage spec below
- Links → `/hunter` then `/kilo`
- Indexing → `/indexer`
## Do not do this
- Do not label the page "optimized for AI assistants and LLM search, not human marketing." That line is a con
