LLM Optimization Services

for Better AI Search Visibility

What Is LLM Optimization?

As more online users rely on AI-enabled search tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, knowing how to rank for your pages on search engines isn’t enough to get your brand discovered. Large Language Model Optimization (LLMO) is the process of improving your online presence so AI search and summary tools can properly index and reference your site.

Although LLMO doesn’t completely replace standard SEO practices, it does expand on their capabilities. Instead of focusing strictly on keyword optimization and content relevancy, LLMO concentrates on structuring your site so that AI algorithms can more easily find referencable snippets that are useful when generating accurate query results for users.

Why LLM Optimization Matters

With the rise of AI, large language models (LLMs) are becoming much more important in helping to train search engines and virtual assistants to be more accurate when responding to users. Understanding how these models work and how to optimize web content to support them is critical for businesses.

Shift from Keywords to Conversational Queries

People don’t search for information online the same way they used to. Now, instead of having to use specific keywords or phrase questions just right, users can speak to AI tools or home assistants the same way they would when talking to another person.

LLMs have made this shift possible, placing more importance on the context and intent of what someone is saying rather than focusing on their word choice.

Influence on Purchase Decisions

Many individuals use AI tools for all types of tasks, including providing them with recommendations on different products or services they should purchase. When asking for advice on these solutions, if your brands aren’t being mentioned, there’s a good chance you’ll be missing out on new sales opportunities.

Visibility Across the AI Journey

AI tools are designed to be highly personalized. LLMO strategies help to make sure your brand stays consistent across these individual search experiences, helping to ensure your brand is mentioned in suggestions relevant to their own AI journeys.

First-Mover Advantage in AI Mentions

Applying LLMO across a website helps businesses to design a strong foundation for improved visibility as AI search tools continue to develop. This helps to future-proof the business and makes it easier to get more mentions in AI search results. This can be a great differentiator from other brands that may be starting on their LLMO initiatives much later down the road.

LLM Search Is a Black Box—Optimization Helps Control the Narrative

The way LLMs are used to provide user-specific answers isn’t as transparent as other SEO variables. LLMO provides businesses with more options to proactively influence how AI tools view, index, and reference their brand now and in the future. This helps to ensure that the information AI shares about the business continues to be accurate across multiple tools and always reflects the right messaging.

Our LLM Optimization Services

Comprehensive Audit

We conduct comprehensive audits of our clients’ websites to identify ways to improve conversational flow and structure and LLM visibility. This includes understanding how AI platforms currently reference available content and the overall quality and authoritativeness of the information provided.

We’ll take a deep dive into a website’s technical setup while helping brands develop fresh, experience-led content that directly answers common user questions in ways that AI search tools look for.

Content Optimization

Not all SEO content is formatted properly to be easily referenced by AI tools. We take the time to refind all our clients’ existing web content so that both humans and AI algorithms can easily access and understand it.

We’ll revamp articles, blog posts, and linkable assets with the conversational flow they need to increase their likelihood of being linked across different AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Autopilot, and other commonly used tools.

Source Targeting

Our source targeting services make sure our clients’ branded content regularly appears on the authoritative sites that LLMs typically rely on to source information for their users.

By identifying all the primary data training sources for AI models relevant to the industries our clients are in and securing branded placements, this helps to create strong trust signals that both search engines and AI tools use when providing relevant responses to search queries.

AI Search User Behavior Discovery

We go beyond traditional keyword research and semantic analysis and dig deeper into user behaviors when using AI search tools. This allows us to understand exactly how individuals are looking for information relevant to our clients’ products and services.

We track these behavioral search differences across multiple AI platforms and search engines to help design an LLMO strategy that leads to improved visibility and increased web traffic.

Schema and Microdata Implementation

As part of a holistic LLMO approach, we ensure that all of our clients’ websites make use of schema markup and other microdata that help both search engines and LLMs better understand the type of content on published pages.

This improves the accuracy of any AI-generated results provided to users and significantly increases the chances of their content being cited.

Zupo's Strategic Framework

When executing LLMO planning and execution phases for all our clients, we rely on a proven framework for success. This framework is made up of:

Opportunity Analysis

We start all our client relationships by pinpointing key areas where your brand can improve when getting mentioned in AI-powered search tools. This involves a thorough analysis of how other brands are achieving great results, the sources LLMs are commonly referencing in your industry, and the types of conversational queries users are making. This helps us identify clear, actionable opportunities your brand can take advantage of.

Persona & Intent Mapping

To effectively reach your audience, we’ll create detailed user personas specifically for users leveraging AI tools. We then map out user search intents to help identify how your web content can help address them. This gives us a clear roadmap we can follow to start improving your brand’s visibility online.

Campaign Design & Content Planning

After we’ve mapped out your user personas and their typical search patterns, we’ll design a targeted LLMO campaign and a supporting content plan to follow. Our focus here is to help you create structured content so it's easily understood by AI, incorporating natural language that both human readers and AI web crawlers can easily understand.

Performance Tracking & Ongoing Optimization

We continuously monitor the effectiveness of our LLM optimization strategies and track a variety of AI-specific metrics throughout the life of our campaigns. This allows us to make data-driven adjustments to your technical elements, content, or other approaches to improve performance and long-term results.

Quarterly Strategy and Goal Review

Our experts will take the time to sit down with your teams every quarter to go over the progress of your LLMO campaigns.
