AEO Dictionary

Sub-document processing

The shift from indexing whole pages to retrieving granular snippets (2–4 words/tokens) to fill an AI's context window. Instead of retrieving the "Top 10" websites, Answer Engines now retrieves granular snippets from across the web. This means the AI doesn't just "see" your article; it extracts thousands of tiny numerical representations of your facts.
