About AEO.wiki

From AEO.wiki, the Answer Engine Optimization reference · Last reviewed · By · Published by Local Blitz · How we research

AEO.wiki is a free, vendor-neutral reference on answer engine optimization: how AI and search answer engines find, choose and cite sources, and what site owners can do about it. It is written by Simon White and published by Local Blitz. Every factual claim links to a source, preferably the engine's own documentation.

Why it exists

Advice about AI search changes quickly and is full of unverified claims. This wiki collects what Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity and independent researchers have actually published, dates it, and separates documented facts from common practice.
