AEO Strategy

Conversational Search

Conversational search is the search mode where users interact with AI search engines through natural language dialogue. Users can follow up, provide context, and refine queries, while AI remembers the entire conversation context.

Why It Matters for AEO

Conversational search makes queries more specific and contextual. Your content needs to cover query depths from broad to specific, as users progressively refine their needs through dialogue.

Practical Examples
