Comment "AEO" to get the full Answer Engine Optimization playbook + the exact 8-step checklist I use on every site I ship.
Webflow just shipped automatic LLM optimization. It reformats your site so ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity can actually read and cite you. Most websites are invisible to AI right now — and your customers are starting to search there instead of Google.
First, AEO is replacing SEO. Search is shifting from blue links to AI answers. Like the move from yellow pages to Google, but faster.
Second, your site has to be readable by AI engines. Schema markup, FAQ blocks, llms.txt at your root. Like leaving a clear note for the librarian.
Third, AI engines cite original work. Frameworks, your own data, your opinions in your voice. Like quoting a textbook — the source matters.
Fourth, this works on Webflow, WordPress, or any platform. The principles travel. Like learning to cook — the recipe works in any kitchen.
The good news? You don't need to rebuild your site from scratch.
Because most AEO wins layer on top of what you already have:
1. Add llms.txt to your root
2. Add schema markup to posts
3. Restructure content as Q&A
4. Add dates and update freshness
The full breakdown is on my site — comment AEO 👇
