I faithfully followed the directions, to the letter, that came with my EoTech. Pretty quick and easy. I zero'ed my 5.56 cal. AR at 50 yards, but it may vary for each user. Remember that you will have bullet drop at various distances, which you'll need to know the hold overs and unders. When you change ammo and/or bullet weight, your zero may change, as well as hold over and under.

50 yards is a good zero for .223 on an AR. If you want to shoot longer range, verify your crossover at 200 yards or zero at 300.
Zero your rifle at 50 yards, then co-witness your optic.
I use a ballistics calculator to zero my competition Ar for 300 yards. Which is about 43 yards. When I can get it in the same hole at 43 yards, I back up to 300 and shoot it and adjust it. Then I go back to 250, 200, 150, 100, 75, 50, 25, & 10 yards. I have only done this once and it has seemed to work well.
I do the samething for my coyote hunting Ar except I have it zeroed for 200, which is about 62 yards initially.
Sorry if that's a ****** confusing explanation. A 50 yard zero should be good enough for most applications.
