LLMO – Large Language Model Optimization for AI Search
Introduction to LLMO
Large Language Model Optimization (LLMO) is the process of structuring and optimizing your content to be directly consumable by AI-powered search engines and assistants, such as ChatGPT, Bing Copilot, Perplexity, and Google SGE.
While traditional SEO focuses on keywords and links, LLMO focuses on semantic understanding, context, and structured data, so AI models can recognize your website as a reliable, high-authority source.
