BigMarker News & Updates Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

Keep your recordings working after the live event

October 12, 2026
AEO describes your on-demand webinars in the format AI assistants read, so ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI can quote them and send people to watch.

More and more of the people who need your recording now ask an AI assistant instead of searching. Answer Engine Optimization gives that assistant the facts it needs to quote your webinar, and a link to the moment worth watching, so the recording keeps working long after the live event.

What AI assistants receive

AEO publishes a schema.org description on the webinar’s public page. It’s written for machines, so visitors see no change, but every part of it comes from your webinar and its recording.

When someone asks about a topic you covered, those facts give an assistant something clear to quote and a recording to point to, down to the chapter that answers the question.

An AI assistant answers a question about logs, metrics and traces and cites the Observability 101 on-demand webinar as its source, with a link to watch from 13:40.

Review the takeaways and FAQsThey are written from the recording’s transcript, usually in under a minute. Edit or delete any of them, add your own with the plus icon, or use Regenerate for a fresh list. Automatic runs never overwrite your edits.
Four key takeaways written from the recording, each with an Actions menu, plus Regenerate and an add button.

Chapters that point to the right moment

Each chapter is published with its title, its start time and a link that opens the recording at that moment. When someone asks a question the recording answers, an assistant can send them to the part that answers it, not to the start of a 45-minute replay.

Check it before you rely on it

The Preview tab shows exactly what AI tools receive. Use Copy to paste it into Google’s Rich Results Test or the Schema.org validator. After you edit takeaways or FAQs, click Refresh to see the latest version.

Where it is published

Automatically insert structured data is on by default, so the description is added to the webinar’s landing page for you. On a custom landing page you can turn it off and place the {{ aeo_structured_data }} token yourself, and show the takeaways and FAQs to visitors with {{ aeo_key_takeaways }} and {{ aeo_faqs }}. Nothing is published while the webinar is private or hidden from search.

Before you include the transcript

The full transcript makes everything said in the recording publicly readable, including names and attendee questions read aloud. Review it in AI Content & Chapters first.
