Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is transforming how buyers discover brands, but earning an AI citation is only the beginning of the customer journey. While marketers focus heavily on visibility metrics, the real opportunity—and risk—lies in what happens after the click. AI-referred visitors arrive with higher intent, greater context, and stronger buying signals than traditional search traffic, making landing page optimization more critical than ever. The brands that win in the AI era won't just optimize for answers—they'll optimize for conversions.
