GEO, AEO, and AI search

Answerability

Also known as: ability to answer

How clearly content supplies the information needed to answer a specific question.

A practical example

A pricing page explains package inclusions and how add-ons are billed.

What should I know?

This is a practical quality criterion, not a universal search engine metric.

GEO, AEO, and AI search in practice

In AI answers, distinguish a name mention, an actual recommendation, and a source link. Compare the same questions, models, and markets. A single conversation can vary and does not represent all possible answers.
