LLM SEO

Search engine optimization strategies adapted for large language model visibility.

DEFINITION

What is LLM SEO?

LLM SEO (also called GEO or Generative Engine Optimization) refers to optimization strategies specifically designed for visibility in large language model responses. While related to traditional SEO, LLM SEO focuses on how AI systems synthesize and present information rather than ranking algorithms. Key differences include emphasis on factual clarity, citation-worthiness, and comprehension-friendly structure over traditional SEO signals.

IN PRACTICE

We apply LLM SEO principles to ensure your brand is visible not just in search rankings, but in AI assistant responses.

WHY IT MATTERS

Traditional SEO doesn't automatically translate to AI visibility. LLM SEO addresses the unique ways AI systems evaluate and present information about brands.

EXAMPLES

Optimizing content for AI citation rather than just rankings

Building authority signals AI systems recognize

Structuring information for LLM comprehension

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is LLM SEO replacing traditional SEO?

Not replacing—complementing. Strong brands will optimize for both traditional search and AI visibility. The tactics overlap but aren't identical.

What's the most important LLM SEO factor?

There's no single factor, but citation-worthiness—being a source AI wants to reference—is fundamental. This comes from authority, clarity, and accuracy.
