Hey fellow AI Adventurers,<\/P>

\u00a0<\/P>

I’ve been going deep on how our marketing strategies need to evolve for AI\u2014not just using tools like the\u00a0HubSpot AI Assistant\u00a0for creation, but fundamentally changing how we optimize for\u00a0discovery.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/P>

For years, we’ve focused on SEO for human searchers. But now, AI engines (ChatGPT, SGE, etc.) are a new, primary audience consuming our content to generate answers. This calls for a new practice I’ve been terming\u00a0“AI Engine Optimization” (AEO).<\/P>

\u00a0<\/P>

It’s less about traditional keyword tactics and more about:<\/P>

\u00a0<\/P>

Structured Clarity:\u00a0Is your content easily parsable for key entities and concepts?<\/P>

\u00a0<\/P>

Demonstrable Authority (E-E-A-T):\u00a0How do you signal your expertise\u00a0to a machine?<\/P>

\u00a0<\/P>

Verifiable Accuracy:\u00a0Are you providing data and citing sources that AI can trust?<\/P>

\u00a0<\/P>

It’s exciting to see that HubSpot is already on the cutting edge of this. I was experimenting with their new\u00a0AEO Grader\u00a0tool\u00a0\u2014it gives a fascinating technical snapshot of how a site is perceived by AI. I ran my own site (SEOsiri) through it, and the results confirmed that this is a critical new area to focus on.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/P>

This solidifies for me that we need to be optimizing our HubSpot-hosted blogs and sites to become the primary, authoritative sources for these new answer engines.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/P>

So, I\u2019m curious about your thoughts:<\/P>

\u00a0<\/P>

Have you tried the AEO Grader yet? What were your takeaways?<\/P>

\u00a0<\/P>

Are you actively changing how you structure content for AI-driven search?<\/P>

\u00a0<\/P>

I’ve compiled my full strategic framework and research on this into a guide. If you want to dive deeper beyond the technical check and into the core strategy, you can read it here:<\/P>

\u00a0<\/P>

Looking forward to the discussion!<\/P>

\u00a0<\/P>

Cheers,<\/P>
