ASK ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (AEO) for Golf Courses

Q1. What Is Ask Engine Optimization (AEO)?
A1. Also referred to as ANSWER Engine Optimization, AEO is the practice of optimizing your website content to appear in VOICE SEARCHES and AI-POWERED search engines like Siri, Ask Google, Alexa, ChatGPT, and Google and Apple Maps.

Q2. Why Is AEO Important in 2025 and Beyond?
A2. Over 50% of searches now are done via Voice Search rather than traditional search engines like google and bing with quickly growing adoption, especially by those under 50 years old. Optimizing your website for AEO searches also improves your traditional Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Bottom line is if you want to be found in voice searches, your website needs to have special AEO code added for the Voice Search crawlers to find and index your website and content.

Q3. How Does AEO Benefit Golf Courses?
A3. AEO helps your course be listed when golfers are searching for a course to play or wanting to learn more about your course. It enables people to quickly learn who you are and what additional services you may offer (eg. league, restaurant, events, etc.). Because AEO is relatively new, most courses in the United States have not optimized their website for AEO so you will have a competitive advantage if your website has had AEO code added by a team that specializes in golf courses and golf-related businesses.
