Search is no longer what it used to be. The user asks — AI answers. No clicks, no transitions, sometimes not even a chance for your site to be seen. That’s why Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is emerging — a strategy that helps your content appear directly in AI responses from ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, and other assistants.
AEO isn’t a “trend” — it’s a necessity.
And the key point: AEO doesn’t replace SEO — it strengthens it.
SEO brings traffic from classic search, GEO increases expertise in generative answers, and AEO makes your content “citation-ready” — short, precise, and easy for AI to interpret.
— How AEO works and why it’s becoming the 2025/2026 standard
— The difference between AEO, SEO, and GEO (and why all three must work together)
— How to write content that AI selects for its answers
— Which formats AI assistants prefer
— A step-by-step checklist for adapting your website to AEO
If you work with info sites, reviews, educational content, or expert materials — this is a topic you cannot skip. AI is already changing the rules, and those who adapt first will win.

Countries are tightening rules, platforms are falling under restrictions, and the familiar digital landscape is changing right before our eyes. Here’s the most important.
Since late November WhatsApp began facing restrictions, and in December Roblox and FaceTime were banned. Restrictions are being introduced gradually, but the trend is obvious — pressure is increasing.
From November 6 — restrictions for teens on Kick.
From December 10 — across the whole lineup: Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram.
Australia is essentially creating social networks that are “18+ by default.”
