Today, a senior exec at a multi-billion dollar talent agency told me that he found 10X by asking Grok for the best AI transformation firms, not Google. Grok. This isn't a one-off anymore. The frequency of prospects finding us through LLMs is just taking off, and traditional SEO traffic is moving in the exact opposite direction. Here's what most CMOs are missing: Ranking number one on Google doesn't mean anything anymore. It's about whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini can accurately explain what your company does when someone asks. Sixty percent of AI answers cite the wrong source or straight up misrepresent your brand. Your SEO might be dialed, but if AI cannot parse your site, you are invisible in the conversations where decisions now start. This is Answer Engine Optimization or AEO, and it is the next battleground. Three things that matter for AEO: Structure over keywords. LLMs need clean semantic HTML and schema markup. Clarity over cleverness. Vague marketing copy confuses AI; direct claims get cited. Speed and reliability. If your site is slow or breaks, AI deprioritizes you. I have been digging into how @Webflow approaches this. Their sites auto-generate the technical stuff that LLMs need: semantic code, schema markup, even LLM's .text files, with no plugins and no dev bottleneck. If you are a CMO and you are still optimizing purely for Google rankings, you are going the way of the dinosaurs. Check out more on this here: https://wfl.io/49X1cNz #webflowpartner #sponsored
