Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

Is Your Institution Ready for AI Search?

AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Perplexity are rapidly becoming the new front door for student search. Instead of browsing a list of links, students increasingly receive direct answers that recommend institutions and programs.

Before launching a full AEO strategy, it helps to understand where your institution stands.

The AEO Readiness Diagnostic is a simple 12-question self-assessment designed for higher ed teams to quickly evaluate their readiness for AI-powered search.

Use it to identify gaps in areas like:

  • Program page clarity and structure
  • Consistency of tuition and program information
  • FAQ and structured content usage
  • Content governance and ownership
