While waiting, here are general tips + a sample to help you level up any AEO-focused LinkedIn post.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d What makes a LinkedIn post \u201cAEO-ready\u201d\n\nThese practices help your post get noticed and *cited* by AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, etc.:\n\n- **Start with a clear hook**: a question, bold stat, or statement that grabs attention immediately.  \n- **Answer first, explain later**: the AI systems, readers, and the algorithm favor posts that deliver value without fluff. Leading with the answer helps ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/aeo/comments/1uvno2z/what_worked_for_our_aeo_after_testing_for_a_few/?utm_source=openai)).  \n- **Use formatting**: listicles, short paragraphs, headings, bullet points\u2014these help with readability and AI extraction ([linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/finnmcalister_you-dont-need-to-be-on-every-platform-to-activity-7445647813302075393-BqzZ?utm_source=openai)).  \n- **Include proof or evidence**: case studies, stats, examples\u2014original insights make your content \u201ccite-worthy\u201d ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/aeo/comments/1sqkxvr/everyone_is_talking_about_aeo_these_days_this_is/?utm_source=openai)).  \n- **Link to broader signals of authority**: off-site mentions, reviews, community engagement; structured data/schema if writing for your website ([linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/finnmcalister_you-dont-need-to-be-on-every-platform-to-activity-7445647813302075393-BqzZ?utm_source=openai)).  \n- **Be consistent across your content**: use similar language, tone, and themes across your profile and posts so AI systems can link the dots around who you are and what you do ([linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/finnmcalister_you-dont-need-to-be-on-every-platform-to-activity-7445647813302075393-BqzZ?utm_source=openai)).\n\n---\n\n## \u270d\ufe0f Example: Before & After\n\nHere\u2019s how you could transform a post using those principles.\n\n**Before:**\n\n> I\u2019ve been reading a lot about AEO lately and I think people are doing it wrong. You shouldn\u2019t just write content and hope for citations, you need to plan. What does planning mean? It means thinking ahead, structuring content, building authority. That\u2019s it.\n\n---\n\n**After:**\n\n> \ud83d\udca1 Want to be the answer AI gives\u2014not just another Google result? Here\u2019s how to \u201cplan\u201d for AEO in 3 steps:  \n>  \n> 1\ufe0f\u20e3 **Audit your questions**  \n> \u2003 \u2022 Look at support tickets, GSC queries, even Reddit threads\u2014these show what people *actually* ask.  \n> \u2003 \u2022 Pick conversational long-tail prompts.  \n>  \n> 2\ufe0f\u20e3 **Structure for extraction**  \n> \u2003 \u2022 Put the direct answer in the 1st or 2nd line.  \n> \u2003 \u2022 Use questions as headings.  \n> \u2003 \u2022 Brief paragraphs and bullet points help AI extract answers.  \n>  \n> 3\ufe0f\u20e3 **Build proof & authority**  \n> \u2003 \u2022 Use stats, examples, or case studies.  \n> \u2003 \u2022 Make sure you\u2019re listed outside your site (forums, YouTube, industry posts).  \n> \u2003 \u2022 Consistent voice and branding across your profile help AI understand who you are.  \n>  \n> \ud83c\udfaf When you do this, AI systems begin *citing* you\u2014not just linking to you. That\u2019s how your visibility grows from \u201cranked\u201d to \u201creferenced.\u201d\n\n---\n\nIf you share *your* draft, I\u2019ll rewrite it specifically to be punchier, AEO-friendly, and more likely to get traction."
