Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) for Executives: How AI Search Is Replacing Google and What Your Brand Must Do Now

By Dr. Ivan Del Valle

The way your customers find you has fundamentally changed.

More than 2.5 billion AI-assisted search queries are processed daily. ChatGPT has 800 million weekly active users. Google now overlays AI-generated answers on 67% of commercial investigation searches. And 60% of all searches end without a single click to any website.

Your SEO strategy is optimizing for a shrinking channel. The brands that appear in AI-generated answers are capturing the customers your website never sees.

AEO for Executives is the first strategic guide to Answer Engine Optimization written specifically for C-suite leaders, CMOs, CROs, and board members. Dr. Ivan Del Valle, founder of Roger Sherman Holdings and Data Architect at a Fortune 500 medical technology company, draws on his doctoral research in AI governance, multiple patents in AI compliance infrastructure, and real-world enterprise experience to deliver:

- A clear framework for how AI engines decide which brands to recommend
- The metrics and dashboards your board needs to see quarterly
- Content and technical architectures that earn AI citations
- A competitive intelligence system for the AI search era
- Organizational models and budget frameworks for building AEO capability
- A concrete 90-day implementation playbook you can hand your team Monday morning

Whether you lead a healthcare network navigating AI accuracy, a B2B company losing deals to competitors you have never heard of, or a legacy brand discovering that fifty years of reputation is invisible to ChatGPT - this book gives you the strategy, the data, and the plan to act.

The executives who move now will own their categories. The rest will wonder what happened.
