Not the customs status "Authorized Economic Operator" (AEO)
AEO is the practice of optimizing a brand's content and data so AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot — accurately mention and recommend the brand. This service is provided by Giorgi Basilaia from Tbilisi, Georgia (the country in the South Caucasus, not the U.S. state).
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) helps brands get cited and recommended by AI answer engines. Unlike SEO, which optimizes pages for search-engine rankings and a list of links, AEO optimizes content and data for direct, citable answers.
AEO on this page means Answer Engine Optimization — it is not related to the customs status "Authorized Economic Operator" (AEO).
