Structured data (JSON-LD, Schema.org) provides semantic meaning to your content. Instead of AI systems trying to parse HTML and guess what your content is about, structured data explicitly tells them. This dramatically improves AI understanding and recommendations.

E-E-A-T stands for Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. It's important for both search engines and AI systems. You improve it by clearly demonstrating your expertise, building authority through citations and backlinks, and establishing trust through transparent business information, reviews, and credentials.

Not necessarily. Most recommendations can be implemented in any CMS (WordPress, Shopify, custom platforms, etc.). Some recommendations may be easier in certain systems, but we work with whatever you're using and guide you through implementation.

No. AEO recommendations align with search engine best practices. Clear structure, quality content, and proper markup benefit both traditional search and AI systems. In fact, improving for AI typically improves your traditional SEO simultaneously.
