FAQ

Cornelius Answer Engine Optimization FAQs

What's the difference between AEO and SEO for Cornelius?+

SEO gets you on page 1. AEO gets you above page 1 — in the featured snippet, PAA box, or voice assistant answer. AEO is for businesses that already rank well (or are working on it) and want to capture the zero-click searches too.

Do I need to rank on page 1 first?+

Featured snippets almost always come from top-10 pages. If you're not there yet, we recommend pairing AEO with SEO for the fastest path to Cornelius search dominance.

What does AEO cost?+

Standalone AEO starts at $499/month. Bundle GEO + AEO and save 20%. Full pricing at digitalwiz.io/aeo.

How long until I see featured snippet results?+

Snippet wins for pages already ranking in the top 10 can happen within 30–60 days. Full PAA domination typically takes 2–3 months of consistent content building.
