In 2025, some of the most powerful pages for AI search visibility aren’t long blog posts or pillar pages — they’re simple, well-written FAQs. And that surprises almost everyone.

In this episode, I explain why AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google’s AI Overviews consistently rely on FAQ-style content when generating answers. We’ll talk about how AI interprets question-and-answer structures, why FAQs reduce uncertainty, and how they help AI safely reuse explanations without distortion.
