Large Language Model Optimization (LLMO)
LLMO is the content and entity work that makes it easier for LLMs to retrieve, trust, and quote you.
Another alias for the GEO pile. Use it when you mean “optimize for the model,” not “optimize for Google’s 10 links.” If a vendor uses LLMO, GEO, and AEO in one sentence, ask them which metric moves.
Practically: entity consistency, extractable facts, original data, crawl access, and third-party proof. That is the list. The acronym is optional.
Examples
- Renaming all pages to “LLM-ready” without changing the facts is not LLMO. Adding a methods section with dates is.

AEO is structuring content so an answer engine can lift a clean response — featured snippets, voice, and now chat surfaces that skip the blue-link list.
Entity SEO is making sure machines can tell who you are: one name, one home URL, same facts everywhere.
GEO is the work of getting your brand named, quoted, or linked when an AI engine answers a question — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or Google AI Overviews.
Content that survives retrieval: self-contained sections, facts with dates, names spelled the same, HTML a bot can see.
