AEO Or AI Engine Optimization Tips

AEO Or AI Engine Optimization Tips

Hey, there! Andrew Anderson, and today we're gonna be talking about AEO or AI Engine Optimization. Pretty much everybody's heard of SEO or Search Engine Optimization, but AEO is a new one. It's where you show up on AI, and we had a really good quote. AI is where people search for things. And our SEO is where people search for things, but AI gives them answers, AEO.
And to do that, there's a couple of things that you need or you won't show up if you don't have them. One, you have to have a very fast mobile website. Okay. And if you're not in the 90s on that, good luck on getting in the AI search engines. They really pride themselves or it's one of the biggest factors. It is with Google too and Bing, but even more so with AEO, on the AI search engines, 'cause they want quick answers.
And so, you can go to iQSiteSpeed.com, and it's a free test. You just put in your email and your name and it'll immediately show up. And you should be in the 80s or the 90s on your mobile site speed.
Your accessibility is the next thing that should be pegged at 100. And then you have your best practices should be pegged at 100, and then your SEO should be pegged at 100 as well. And if not, then you know, you need to contact somebody to get that done. We specialize in doing superfast websites. Most of ours are pegged at 100, and you can check our own website out too at iQMarketers.com, but those are really important.
The other thing is your schema. Now, there's a schema which is basically, it tells the search engines and the AI engines on what your whole website's about, the services you offer, your hours, how many reviews you've gotten.
There's two ways to get that done. There's the original one which is schema.org which is very basic. It's basic but it's not. It's got a ton of info. What's happened is Google went in and tripled that about the information and the segmentation and how it's arranged, and that's what's key right now. And in fact, used to be able to get by with updating your schema once a year, maybe twice a year. Now, we update it for our clients every single week. Okay. Because things are changing that fast, and that's from Google, and everybody else has adopted it because it's a good setup.
And if you see it, it's very, it's much more thorough. It's got price range in there. It's got hours of operations, it's got list of services, it's got FAQs in there which are a big portion. Another big thing, if you don't have your FAQ sign up set up right for your business, you aren't gonna show up in AEO. You're just not going to.
And the kicker is that in May, okay, check this out, AI searches accounted for 8% of the searches out there. They jumped up to 8% which is huge. And then the other surprise, and although I've been predicting this for over a year now, Bing Itself jumped up to 12%. So 20% of all the searches now are non Google stuff and non YouTube. So, they took up 20% in one month. In just the month of May, they're up to 20%. So, you really should get on top of that if you wanna stay relevant because you could be ranking number one on Google and you could see your traffic drop in half if you're not on AEO too.
So, if you need some help with that, that's what we do. We specialize in it. We've been a leader in that for, oh, since 2020, late 2020-2021. And the stuff that we do really works well. So, you can dominate your search with AEO, and if I had to put all my effort in one thing, I'd be putting it, well, SEO and AEO. And as I've said, if you see on our website, I don't have exact figures on this, but we brought in a couple billion dollars in organic leads for our clients over the years that we've been in business.
And if there's anything we can do to help you, that would be great. So, regardless if you use us or somebody else, make sure you get set up for AEO or AI Engine Optimization. It's coming down the pike. It's gonna take people by storm.
Most of the other agencies are clueless on how to do this, and I'm talking to big guys and the little guys combined. They just haven't focused on it enough and they were thinking that they didn't have to pay attention to it. Well, guess what? It's already here and it's coming in waves. So, that's it. So, get your act together in AEO so you don't become irrelevant and people can't find you.
So, alright. Andrew Anderson signing off. If you got any questions, suggestions, let me know. Have a profitable 2025, the Golden Age is coming and we want you to be part of it. See you. Bye-bye.
