Answer engines are search tools that respond to a question with a written answer instead of only a list of links. They include AI features inside traditional search engines and standalone AI assistants that search the web. They usually cite a few sources, and those citations are a growing way for readers to discover websites. Being cited depends on the same foundations as ordinary search visibility: crawlable pages, clear answers and trustworthy content. Articles under this tag explain how answer engines choose and quote sources and how blog owners can make their content easy to use.
