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?
