With Google pushing AI Mode / Gemini more into Search, I’m starting to think about “AI answer optimization” as much as classic blue-link SEO. From what I’m seeing so far: - Pages with very clear structure (short intro, H2 questions, bullet-point answers) get quoted more often in AI-style summaries. - Explicit “who/what/when/how” wording in headings seems to help the model understand context. - Real-world examples, mini case studies and simple numbers get reused a lot in AI overviews. My current checklist when publishing a new article: 1) One-sentence plain-English answer near the top. 2) Short sections that answer one sub-question each. 3) Simple tables or bullet lists for comparisons. 4) Clear author bio + why this person is qualified to talk about the topic. Has anyone here tested changes specifically for AI Mode / Gemini answers? What actually moved the needle for you in 2025?
Thanks for sharing your insights! I’ve noticed similar patterns—structured content, clear headings, and concise answers definitely seem to get picked up more often in AI summaries.
