AEO Optimizer

Q: How do I know the AEO Optimizer output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Before marking this task complete, verify each item:; Every H2 in the article is now a direct question ending with "?"; Every question-format H2 has an answer capsule immediately below it (no intervening text); Every capsule is between 50 and 80 words — count precisely, not approximately.

Optimize an article for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) so AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude can extract, quote, and cite it. Use when asked to AEO-optimize, make content AI-readable, improve AI citation chances, or adapt an article for answer engines. Produces an AEO-optimised rewrite with question headings, 50–80 word answer capsules, a paragraph-length audit, and flagged trust signals.

What to give it

▸Article content — Paste the full draft text, or provide a URL Claude can fetch

▸Target audience (optional) — Helps calibrate question phrasing — e.g. "beginner founders" vs "senior engineers"

▸Primary keyword or topic (optional) — If provided, Claude ensures H2 questions cover it directly

▸Existing URL (if published) (optional) — Used in the audit report to note the live page

▸Preserve exact section order (optional) — Defaults to yes — Claude rewrites in place, doesn't restructure

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Before marking this task complete, verify each item:

✓Every H2 in the article is now a direct question ending with "?"

✓Every question-format H2 has an answer capsule immediately below it (no intervening text)

✓Every capsule is between 50 and 80 words — count precisely, not approximately

✓No links appear inside any capsule block

✓Every capsule has the HTML comment markers noting word count

✓Paragraphs throughout the article body are ≤3 sentences (flag any exceptions in the report)

✓The H1 title is unchanged

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not place links inside answer capsules — links break AI extractability and will cause the capsule to be skipped or paraphrased

Do not write capsules longer than 80 words — oversized capsules are less likely to be extracted cleanly by AI engines

Do not rewrite the H1 title — it serves SEO purposes and should follow different rules from H2s

Do not add hedging phrases ("it depends", "there are many factors") inside capsules — commit to a direct, extractable answer

Do not fabricate trust signals — only surface and note signals that actually exist in the article; inventing statistics undermines credibility
