What is AEO News Release?
An AEO News Release is a press release explicitly structured for Answer Engine Optimization. It pairs the traditional release format with AI-extractable elements — clear Q&A blocks, summarized key facts, structured data, and quote attribution — so AI answer engines can lift clean, attributable answers from the announcement. Crackle PR pioneered the AEO News Release format for B2B tech clients — every release ships with extractable Q&A, Quotation schema, and Speakable markup so the answer LLMs surface is the client's, not a paraphrase a competitor's blog fed them first.
