Brand recognition
Answer engine optimisation
The practice of earning the quoted answer itself, the snippet, the voice reply, the answer box, rather than a ranked position on a results page.
AEO shifts the unit of competition from the page to the passage. A page can rank fourth and still own the answer, because answer surfaces look for the clearest quotable paragraph, stated plainly and marked up so a machine knows which question it resolves. Pages that open with their conclusion get excerpted; pages that warm up for eight hundred words get skipped.
