AEO for DevTools and API Companies

AEO for DevTools and API companies: docs, READMEs, and comparison pages that assistants can cite.

Austin Heaton, AEO consultant

Developers ask assistants which API or library to use, then paste the docs. The company that gets named has a docs page that answers one task, a README that states the product in the first paragraph, and a comparison page on its own domain.

The landing page is AEO for DevTools. AI startups are covered on AEO for AI startups and in AI SaaS SEO in 2026. B2B SaaS is AEO for B2B SaaS.

Docs and GitHub, as citation assets

  • The README states what the API does in the first paragraph and uses the same product name as the site.
  • Each docs page covers one task, with a copyable example and the product name in the heading.
  • A comparison page and an alternatives page live on the company domain.
  • Release notes repeat the same product name so mentions stay consistent.
