# Recently, Many Friends Have Asked Me to Do GEO and AEO

Let me write an educational piece
Hoping to become the first person in the crypto circle doing AEO business

AEO and GEO are two extremely critical new concepts in content and traffic distribution in the AI era

## I. What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)
👉 AEO = Answer Engine Optimization
Simply put:
It's not about getting users to click on you, but letting AI directly "use your content as the answer"

For example, on ChatGPT or Google's AI search:
User asks:
How to make money in Web3?
If your content structure is clear, authoritative, and easy to cite
👉 AI might directly "cite your viewpoint" as the answer
✅ The core logic of AEO:
Not traffic → clicks → conversion
But rather:
👉 Question → AI organizes → gives answer directly (you get cited)
✅ How to do AEO (3 core points)
1️⃣ Write "standard answer structures"
AI loves this kind:
Definition
Classification
Steps
Summary
For example:
Web3 money-making methods fall into three categories: ……
2️⃣ High-density "citable sentences"
For example:
The essence of AEO is letting content be directly invoked by AI
The most stable income in Web3 comes from transaction fee sharing
👉 This type of sentence is most easily captured by AI
3️⃣ Authority + clear expression
AI will prioritize citing:
Clear logic
No fluff
Content that looks like a "standard answer"

## II. What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)
👉 GEO = Generative Engine Optimization
If AEO is "being cited"
Then GEO is a higher level:
Let AI prioritize referencing you when "generating content"
✅ The essence of GEO:
👉 You become AI's "content library"
For example, user asks:
How do crypto KOLs operate?
When AI generates the answer
If you've done GEO:
👉 Your viewpoint will be "integrated"
Even becoming the default logic
