AIO (AI optimization / AI overviews)
Last updated 2026-06-14
Definition
AIO covers optimizing for AI-overview surfaces — the AI-written summaries that now sit above search results and inside assistants. You earn a place in them by being clear, accurate, and easy for a model to summarise and trust. Quri publishes structured definitions and an llms.txt feed so these surfaces can read it cleanly.
How to do this in Quri
- Write content a model can summarise faithfully without losing your meaning.
- Back claims with honest, specific detail an overview can safely repeat.
- Expose a clean machine-readable feed, the way Quri serves llms.txt.
- Track whether AI overviews mention your product accurately, and correct thin pages.
Frequently asked
- What are AI overviews?
- They are the AI-generated summaries that appear above traditional results or inside an assistant, answering a query directly from sources the model trusts. AIO is the work of being one of those trusted sources.
- How does AIO relate to GEO and AEO?
- They are close cousins. GEO targets generative engines, AEO targets answer snippets, and AIO targets AI-overview surfaces. All three reward clear, accurate, structured content.
