In 2025, getting your site to rank on Google is no longer the endgame. It’s just the start.
SEO still matters, it gets you indexed, keeps your content visible, and helps drive organic traffic. But with AI Overviews now appearing in over 80% of queries, and zero-click searches hitting record highs, the real battle for attention is happening inside the search results.
That’s where Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) comes in.
AEO is about showing up not just in search, but as the answer. It’s what gets your content featured in snippets, AI summaries, and voice assistant responses. Unlike traditional SEO, which drives users to your website, AEO captures attention before they even think of clicking.
It’s a shift from long-winded blogs to tight, structured responses. From keyword density to user intent. From “how do we get traffic?” to “how do we earn trust in one sentence?”
The result? Fewer visits, but better ones. Higher conversion rates. Lower bounce. Longer session times. Because when people do click, they already trust you.
SEO gets you seen. AEO gets you chosen.
And in 2025, smart marketers are doing both.
