King of Answer Engine Optimisation
About King of Answer Engine Optimisation
A sourced directory of people who have publicly claimed AEO leadership, a calendar of the real events tied to the contest, and the UK and Australian market figures, written for readers in Britain and Australia.
What does this directory track that the hub does not?
Three things. First, every person who has publicly claimed the King of AEO title or answer engine optimisation leadership, each entry attributed to the page where the claim was made. Second, a calendar of dated events connected to the contest, from the first self-announced ceremony to the Shenzhen SEO Conference in September 2026 and the Perth SEO Meetup in November. Third, the UK and Australian market slices of the competition data, set side by side.
Why spell it optimisation?
Because readers in Britain and Australia search that way. The spelling signals the audience: practitioners and events in those two markets, and the market figures that matter to them.
Who publishes the directory, and where do its numbers come from?
The directory is published by the King of AEO competition team. That team, led by JP Zhang, is independent of the entrants: it runs the contest, measures each market and announces the title. Marc Moeller appears in the directory as a competitor measured by the team, which is a different footing from the seven public claims listed beside him.
A listing here records what someone said, not a verdict on it. The editorial policy explains how each name, date and figure is sourced and how mistakes are corrected.
