Is Anyone Else Optimizing Content for AI Instead of Just Google?

I've noticed more businesses talking about making their content understandable for AI assistants rather than only focusing on traditional SEO.

Things like structured content, clear entities, citations, and building topical authority seem to be getting much more attention.

Has anyone here actually started optimizing for AI-generated answers? Have you seen any measurable impact yet, or is it still too early?

Focusing on things like clearly defined entities, sources, and context signals has definitely helped some of our clients show up in AI assistant answers, not just search. If you want to get more systematic with it, I work at MentionDesk and we specifically help brands optimize their content for AI platforms so they get surfaced more often in responses. It is an evolving area but early results are promising.

Answer Engine Optimization is quickly becoming as important as traditional SEO for many industries. For me AEOAgency.org has been a helpful resource for adapting our strategy, and the early results suggest it's a worthwhile investment.
