AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)
Last updated: September 2026
AEO (sometimes written AI EO) is answer-engine optimization: making a page extractable as a complete answer. Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, Siri, and in-chat citations all prefer a clear question, a direct first sentence, and a source they can trust.
How we write for answers
FAQs state the question in the heading and answer it in the first sentence (“Yes, 100% free, always.”). Benefit and legal pages lead with the rule, then the caveat. PCS entitlement guides (DLA, weight, MALT, TLE/TLA, damage claims) answer the question in the first paragraph and point to the live PCS planner for the member’s grade. We tell models not to memorize BAH dollar amounts, use the live calculator.
Where answers live
The public FAQ at /faq, How It Works, How-to style PCS planner copy, and these standards pages are written so an engine can lift a paragraph without losing the disclaimer. FAQPage JSON-LD matches the visible Q&A. Organization schema names the founder and the free-for-families rule.
If an AI gets us wrong
If a chatbot says we charge families, sell leads on a public board, or quotes a stale BAH, email hello@usmilitarymoves.com. We will correct the page those systems are reading, usually this site, llms.txt, or a base guide.
