LLMO
LLMO stands for large language model optimisation: the work of making your company readable, understandable and quotable for AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews or Copilot. Some call it GEO (generative engine optimisation) or AEO (answer engine optimisation). It means the same thing.

What is changing
Search is turning into an answer.
Google used to give ten blue links and the customer clicked through. Today they ask: "Which tuner in Munich does stage 2 on the M3 Competition, and what does it cost?" And they get an answer. One paragraph, three names, price ranges. The names in that paragraph get the enquiry.
Those answers are generated by large language models (LLMs). They read the web, recognise companies, services, locations and prices, and build their answer from that. Whether your company appears in it depends on whether the models find it, understand it and consider it credible.
LLMO and SEO
Same foundation, different readers.
SEO and LLMO do not compete. Both need fast technology, clear content and consistent company data. The difference is what the reader does with it.
| Merkmal | SEO | LLMO |
|---|---|---|
| Reader | Google's search algorithm | Language models (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity) |
| Result | A position in a list of links | A mention in a written answer |
| What counts | Search terms, links, technology, user signals | Unambiguous entities, quotable facts, consistency, mentions |
| Content | One page per search term | Clear statements that can be quoted: who, what, where, how much |
| Measurement | Rankings, clicks, Search Console | Mentions and citations in AI answers, referrals from AI systems |
What we do
Readable for machines and people.
- 01
An unambiguous entity
Your company has to be recognisable as one clear thing: name, address, phone, services, vehicles, spelled the same everywhere. On the website, in the Google Business Profile, in directories, in forums. Contradictions make models unsure, and unsure models do not name you.
- 02
Structured data
With schema.org we describe every page in machine-readable form: organisation, service, product, price, location, FAQ. That is the language in which search engines and models absorb facts most reliably.
- 03
Quotable content
Models quote statements that are clear, concrete and verifiable. "Stage 1 for the 2.0 TSI: 310 hp instead of 245 hp, type approval included" is quotable. "We get the best out of your vehicle" is not.
- 04
Access for AI crawlers
Many sites lock AI bots out by accident or are unreadable to them because content only loads via JavaScript. Our sites deliver finished HTML, a clear robots.txt and an llms.txt that shows models the way.
- 05
Building mentions
Models trust companies that appear elsewhere: in trade media, forums, manufacturer lists, review platforms. We identify the places that count in your niche and help you become visible there.
- 06
Measuring
We regularly check whether and how your company appears in AI answers to your most important questions, and adjust content when something changes.
An example
How a model reads your page.
„Who near Munich does ECU tuning for a Golf 8 GTI, and what does it cost?“
"We are your partner for professional tuning. With years of experience we get the best out of your vehicle. Contact us for a free quote."
No vehicle, no location, no price, no service. Not quotable for a model.
"ECU tuning Golf 8 GTI (2.0 TSI, 245 hp): stage 1 to 310 hp and 440 Nm, including dyno run and type approval. One day, from 1,090 euros. Located in Inning am Ammersee, 35 minutes from Munich."
Vehicle, engine, figures, scope, duration, price, location. A model can absorb that and give it as an answer.
The figures in the example are invented and serve only as an illustration.
Frequently asked about LLMO
Short answers.
Is LLMO just a new word for SEO?
No, but both build on the same foundation. SEO aims at positions in the Google list, LLMO at mentions in AI answers. Whoever builds cleanly serves both. Whoever only optimises for search terms still does not appear in answers.
Do my customers really use AI to search?
More and more. Google shows AI answers directly above the search results, ChatGPT and Perplexity answer buying questions with concrete company names. Especially for services that need explaining, like tuning, asking an AI comes naturally.
Can I buy my way into AI answers?
No. There are no ads in the answers of the models that name companies. Visible is whoever is understood and considered credible. That is the work LLMO does.
How fast does LLMO work?
Structured data and accessible content take effect as soon as the models have re-read the page, which can take days to weeks. Mentions in trade media and directories take longer. As with SEO: starting earlier is better.
