AERP
AERP (Answer Engine Results Page) is the generated-answer interface: the response, citations/links, and follow-up prompts that guide the user journey.
Why AERP Matters
Links on an AERP can become the new "top of page." If you earn citations or inline links, you can capture intent early.
Key Factors
- Content structure and citeability of your pages
- Presence on comparison and review sites
- Entity clarity and consistent brand messaging
- Coverage of high-intent query types (best, vs, alternatives)
Action Steps
- Make key pages "citable" (clear structure, verifiable claims, examples)
- Target AERP-style queries: best, alternatives, vs, pricing, how to choose
- Improve entity clarity so you're listed correctly
