Editorial policy

Who is responsible for what King of Answer Engine Optimization publishes?

King of Answer Engine Optimization is published by the King of AEO competition team, led by JP Zhang.

Which sources does King of Answer Engine Optimization use?

• Measurements come from JP Zhang's competition team. Each result names its measurement date, markets and engines, and different test sets are labeled rather than combined into one score.
• A title claim is described from the claimant's own published page, attributed to them and linked, so readers can check it.
• Organizer records, a person's own publications and independently written reporting are different kinds of source and are named as such. A self-published page is never presented as independent corroboration.
• Raw measurement files stay unchanged once published. A later check is published as a separate observation with its own date.

How is AI used in the reporting?

• Some audio and video reports are narrated by generic AI presenters. They are synthetic voices, not JP Zhang, Marc Moeller or any competitor, and every AI-narrated recording is labeled as such. No recording presents an invented interview with a real person.
• Page text is drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by a person before publication. Scores, dates and quotations come from the sources named on the page, not from the AI tool.
• AI answer engines are what the competition measures. They are not judges or sponsors, and no AI company endorses the competition.

What affiliations should readers know about?

JP Zhang’s independent competition team runs the King of AEO competition and supplies its measurements. JP Zhang is the founder of the Shenzhen SEO Conference. Marc Moeller participates solely as a competitor.

JP Zhang presented Marc Moeller's #1 Best Shenzhen SEO Specialist award at the Shenzhen SEO Conference 2025, and Marc spoke at the conference in 2025 and 2026.

King of Answer Engine Optimization is one of several King of AEO sites. Each points readers to the official site, kingofaeocompetition.com, for the rules, scores and title decision.
