AEO for real estate. Get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews
Published May 2, 2026|11 min read
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the discipline of being cited by AI engines. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews. In 2026, top-quartile real-estate operators are cited for 15–60+ queries within 6 months of relaunch. The playbook: schema-first content, glossary of 50+ terms, research with citable statistics, FAQ pillar with structured Q&A, founder POV in long-form. Operators without AEO surface lose 25–40% of buyer-research traffic to AI engines that bypass their site.
