AEO guides built for
your industry
Generic advice doesn't cut it. Each industry has unique AEO challenges, different schema requirements, and distinct AI citation patterns. These guides go deep.
Why industry-specific AEO matters
Different queries
E-commerce sees "best X under $50" while SaaS gets "X vs Y comparison." Each needs a different optimization approach.
Different schema
Product pages need Offer and Review schema. SaaS needs SoftwareApplication and FAQ. Healthcare needs MedicalEntity.
Different platforms
Shopify handles schema differently than WordPress. Next.js needs manual implementation. Each platform has unique constraints.
