What Are Answer Engines?

Answer engines are platforms powered by AI that provide direct answers to user queries instead of just a list of links. Popular examples include:

  • ChatGPT (OpenAI)

  • Perplexity AI

  • Google Gemini (AI-powered search features)

  • Microsoft Copilot

Why it matters: A 2024 Gartner study found that 30% of all online sessions now involve AI-driven search or Q&A engines. Even more importantly, over 60% of users take action directly from the answer provided—whether it’s visiting a suggested site, booking a service, or making a purchase.

Why Optimize for Answer Engines?

Unlike traditional search engines, answer engines:

  • Pull from structured data, high-authority content, and trusted sources.

  • Rely heavily on context, schema, and semantic SEO.

  • Reward businesses that prepare their sites with AI-readable formats and files.

If your site isn’t optimized, your competitors may be the ones showing up in AI-driven results instead of you.
