SEO that gets you found

TL;DR

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and other large language models are fundamentally changing how people discover brands, research products, and make purchasing decisions.

Through strategic content optimisation and authoritative brand mentions, we help you capture demand from the fastest-growing search channel that most brands are completely ignoring.

Why do brands need LLM optimisation?

Large language models don’t work like traditional search engines. They’re not crawling your site daily or ranking pages based on backlinks alone. Instead, they’re trained on vast datasets and preferentially cite specific sources, content formats, and brands when generating responses.

When someone asks ChatGPT for software recommendations, service providers, or industry expertise, the AI references brands it recognises as authoritative.

If your brand isn’t in that training data or isn’t being cited in the sources AI platforms trust, you’re invisible to millions of potential customers using AI as their primary research tool.

What should you expect from LLM optimisation services?

🎯 Appear in AI-generated recommendations when prospects ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or other LLMs for solutions in your category, putting your brand directly in front of high-intent buyers.

💰 Capture emerging search demand from users who’ve shifted away from traditional search engines to AI platforms for research, recommendations, and purchasing decisions.

🤝 Build AI-recognised authority through strategic brand mentions, citations, and presence in the high-quality sources that LLMs trust and reference most frequently.

📈 Drive qualified traffic from AI platforms with measurable increases in referral visits from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other LLMs as your visibility improves.

🔍 Future-proof your digital presence by establishing visibility in the search paradigm that’s rapidly replacing traditional search engines, especially among younger, tech-savvy audiences.

These outcomes directly impact revenue growth: increased brand awareness in high-intent audiences, more qualified leads from AI-driven research, improved conversion rates from prospects who’ve already been pre-sold by AI recommendations, and sustainable competitive advantage as search behaviour fundamentally shifts.

Brand mentions through link building

LLMs learn brand authority through repeated exposure to your name in credible contexts across the web.

Our brand mention campaigns secure strategic placements of your brand name in high-authority publications, industry listicles, expert roundups, and authoritative sources that AI platforms already trust and cite. These aren’t just backlinks for SEO, they’re brand signals that teach AI models your brand is relevant and authoritative in your category.

We gained this expert mention in TechRound (DR 76), joining a discussion on what AI means for SEO and online business. This highly relevant placement with journalists actively sourcing industry insights helped build more authority..

We target placements in sources with proven AI citation history, ensure your brand appears alongside recognised industry leaders, position your mentions in contexts that reinforce your expertise, and build the cumulative brand authority that LLMs use to determine citation-worthiness.

Landing in ‘top’ and ‘best’ listicles

We get your brand featured in existing listicles that AI platforms cite most frequently when making recommendations.

When someone asks ChatGPT for “the best [your category] tools” or “top [your industry] platforms,” the AI pulls from established listicles on authoritative sites. Our outreach secures strategic placements in these high-value lists, putting your brand directly in the content AI references for recommendation queries.

We outreached to 7K Network (DR 71) and earned a feature in their “13 Best Link Building Services” listicle, complete with a bio, link and placement at #6. A solid mention from a relevant site that features in AI sources.

We identify listicles that already rank well and receive AI citations, pitch compelling reasons why your brand deserves inclusion, handle all publisher correspondence and negotiation, and secure placements that position you alongside industry leaders.

Creating in-house listicles for your own site

Our in-house listicle creation service produces well-researched, genuinely useful lists targeting commercial keywords where your prospects are searching. These aren’t thin promotional pieces, they’re thorough comparisons that help your audience make informed decisions while positioning your brand as an authoritative source.

The result is content that ranks well in Google, attracts natural backlinks from others in your industry, gets cited by AI platforms when they need to recommend solutions, and converts visitors into leads because it genuinely helps rather than just sells.

Performance tracking and reporting

LLM optimisation requires different metrics than traditional SEO.

We track AI referral traffic from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other LLM platforms through a personalised LookerStudio dashboard.

You receive detailed monthly reports showing AI visibility trends, traffic from LLM platforms, competitive positioning in AI responses, and the specific optimisations we’ve implemented.

Frequently asked questions about LLM optimisation

What exactly is LLM optimisation?

LLM optimisation is the practice of improving your brand’s visibility in large language models like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on Google rankings, LLM optimisation ensures AI platforms recognise your brand as authoritative and cite you when generating responses to user queries. This involves strategic content creation, brand mention campaigns, and optimisation techniques specifically designed for how AI models select which sources to reference.

How is this different from regular SEO?

While there’s overlap, LLMs work fundamentally differently than Google. Traditional SEO focuses on crawlability, backlinks, and keyword rankings in search results pages. LLM optimisation focuses on brand authority signals, content formats AI prefers to cite, and building presence in sources that LLMs trust.

The good news is that many tactics benefit both: strong E-E-A-T signals, authoritative content, and quality backlinks help with Google and AI visibility. But LLM optimisation adds specific strategies around brand mentions, AI-preferred formatting, and citation-worthy content structures.

Can you guarantee my brand will appear in ChatGPT responses?

No responsible agency can guarantee specific AI citations because we don’t control how LLMs generate responses. However, our testing shows clear patterns: brands with stronger authority signals, more brand mentions across trusted sources, and content in AI-preferred formats appear significantly more often in AI responses.

We track your visibility improvements over time and optimise based on what’s actually working. Our approach is data-driven and transparent about what we can influence versus what remains outside anyone’s control.

How long does it take to see results from LLM optimisation?

AI visibility typically improves gradually over 2-4 months as we build brand authority signals and optimise content. You may see AI referral traffic within the first month as we implement quick wins, but meaningful visibility improvements where your brand consistently appears in AI recommendations usually requires 3-6 months of sustained optimisation.

This is an emerging field and results vary by industry, competition level, and starting position. We provide monthly reporting so you can track progress as it happens.

Is LLM optimisation worth it if Google is still dominant?

Absolutely. First, AI adoption is accelerating rapidly, especially among younger, tech-savvy audiences and business buyers doing research. Early movers gain competitive advantage while most brands ignore this channel.

Second, LLM optimisation and traditional SEO aren’t either/or decisions. Most tactics benefit both channels simultaneously.

Third, even if AI search represents just 10-20% of your traffic opportunity today, that percentage is growing while traditional search behaviour declines. The brands winning in 2-3 years will be those who started optimising for AI visibility now.

Which industries benefit most from LLM optimisation?

Our testing shows B2B and SaaS brands benefit most significantly. Business buyers extensively use ChatGPT and other AI tools for research, vendor comparisons, and solution evaluation. Professional services, technology companies, software platforms, and B2B service providers see particularly strong results. Consumer brands can benefit too, especially in categories where people use AI for recommendations like travel, finance, and technology products. Industries with complex buying decisions and research-heavy purchase processes tend to see the highest ROI from LLM optimisation.
