What is LLM SEO?

LLM SEO refers to optimizing content so that large language models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity cite or reference it when answering user questions, rather than just optimizing for traditional Google rankings.

It overlaps heavily with traditional SEO, clear structure, specific facts, and authoritative sourcing, but adds new considerations, like making sure content is easy for an AI system to extract a direct answer from, since these tools often quote a single passage.

Since 2024, tools have started tracking whether a brand appears in AI-generated answers directly, treating it as a separate metric alongside traditional search rankings.
