This is the daily podcast for marketers, founders, and SEOs who want their brand to be the answer AI engines give. Each episode breaks down a new AEO tactic, a real algorithm change, or a brand that just won (or lost) visibility inside AI search. Topics include: how ChatGPT decides which brands to recommend, how Perplexity chooses its sources, how Google AI Overviews differ from traditional SERPs, how to structure content for LLM citation, schema strategies for answer engines, and the emerging field of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). Brought to you by AEO Engine — the platform brands use to monitor, measure, and grow their AI search visibility. Whether you're a B2B marketer, DTC founder, or in-house SEO, this podcast turns the daily chaos of AI search into a concrete playbook you can execute on. New episode every morning. Transcripts on every episode.
