LLM SEO services help your business get found, understood and cited when people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude or Google's AI Mode for a recommendation. LEVEL UP AgencIA works on what those tools rely on: crawler access, consistent business facts and content that answers questions directly, in English, Spanish or both.

No one controls what an AI model says, so we don't promise citations. We remove the reasons an AI tool would skip you and show you the evidence.

What is LLM SEO?

LLM SEO, also called LLM optimization (LLMO), is the work of making your website and business information easy for large language models (LLMs) to find, read and quote. It builds on regular SEO; it doesn't replace it.

Most AI search tools check the web before they answer. ChatGPT search uses OpenAI's OAI-SearchBot to surface websites, and Google says a page only needs to be indexed and eligible for a snippet to appear as a link in AI Overviews or AI Mode. LLM SEO is not a hidden prompt, a paid placement or a secret file.

LLM SEO vs. SEO vs. GEO vs. AEO

The four terms overlap: all depend on crawlable pages, clear facts and content that answers real questions. What changes is where you want to show up.

TermMain goalWhere it shows
SEO (search engine optimization)Rank pages in search resultsGoogle, Bing, Google Maps
AEO (answer engine optimization)Be the direct answer to a questionFeatured snippets, voice assistants, AI answers
GEO (generative engine optimization)Be cited in AI-generated answersChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot
LLM SEO (LLM optimization)Be easy for language models to understand and citeAI assistants and AI search features

GEO was named in an academic research paper, and Google says optimizing for generative AI search is still SEO. An LLM SEO agency, a GEO agency (short for generative engine optimization agency) and an AEO agency do overlapping work, and so do most firms that sell AEO services or AI SEO services. Judge them by what they actually do, not by the label.

What our LLM SEO services include

Our LLM SEO services, also called LLM optimization services, combine a technical audit, entity work, content and measurement, built on services LEVEL UP AgencIA already offers:

  1. AI search audit: what each AI bot receives from your server, how consistent your business facts are and a prioritized list of fixes, starting with a one-on-one strategy session.
  2. SEO for Google and AI search: an analysis of the top 30 competing results for your searches, then pages and articles written to be quoted. Details on our SEO and AI search services page (in Spanish).
  3. Google Business Profile optimization: local SEO, Google Maps and reviews.
  4. Measurement: prompt tests and AI referral traffic, reviewed with you.

Step 1: Let AI crawlers in (robots.txt and hosting-level blocks)

AI tools can only cite pages they can reach, so we first check what each bot receives from your server. Search bots and training bots are separate, and blocking the wrong one can take you out of AI answers.

BotOwnerJobIf you block it
OAI-SearchBotOpenAIChatGPT searchYou drop out of ChatGPT search answers, except as a plain navigational link
GPTBotOpenAIModel trainingOpts you out of training, not search
PerplexityBotPerplexityPerplexity searchPerplexity recommends allowing it
Claude-SearchBotAnthropicClaude searchMay reduce your visibility in Claude
GooglebotGoogleSearch, AI Overviews, AI ModeGoogle can't crawl you
Google-ExtendedGoogleGemini training and groundingNo effect on Google Search

Robots.txt is only half the story. Google asks that crawling also be allowed "by any CDN or hosting infrastructure" (a CDN, or content delivery network, serves your site from servers around the world). Perplexity says sites behind a firewall may need to allowlist its bots, and Cloudflare announced that blocking AI crawlers would become its default. So a firewall or hosting setting can turn a bot away even when robots.txt says yes. We test the response each bot gets, fix the rule where it lives and confirm your key information is in plain text, not only in images or scripts.

Step 2: One consistent entity across the web

An entity is how a search engine or AI model understands your business: who you are, what you do, where and for whom. When those facts match everywhere, AI tools have less reason to doubt or confuse you.

  • Website: the same business name, phone, service area and services on every page.
  • Structured data: schema.org code (Organization, LocalBusiness and Service) that describes your business to machines and matches the visible text, as Google asks.
  • Listings and profiles: Google Business Profile, Bing Places for Business, social profiles and directories, all with the same facts. Google says Business Profiles can help your services appear in AI responses.

Step 3: Answer-first content that AI tools can quote

Pages that lead with a clear answer are easier to quote, so we write or rewrite your key pages that way.

  1. Start from your buyers' real questions, from Search Console and sales conversations.
  2. Open each section with one or two sentences that answer the question, then add detail.
  3. Use clear headings, definitions, lists, tables and FAQs; cite sources and keep pages current.
  4. Add what only you know: your process and real examples. Google recommends unique, first-hand content.

Bing's guidance for Copilot citations recommends the same structure, evidence and fresh content. If you read Spanish, our guide cómo aparecer en ChatGPT y en la IA de Google goes step by step; there is more on our blog.

How we measure AI visibility

We measure LLM SEO with two kinds of data: what AI tools say when asked, and what your analytics tools record.

  • Prompt tests: we run your buyers' questions in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Mode, in English and Spanish, record whether you're mentioned, which page is cited and which competitors appear, and repeat the set over time.
  • AI referral traffic: in Google Analytics, we separate visits from AI tools such as chatgpt.com or perplexity.ai.
  • Google Search Console: its Generative AI performance report shows impressions in AI Overviews and AI Mode once your site has enough of them.
  • Bing Webmaster Tools: its AI Performance report shows how often your pages are cited in Microsoft Copilot and Bing's AI summaries.

AI answers vary by person, place, wording and time, so we read trends, not single screenshots.

LLM SEO in English and Spanish, from New York to Orlando

We work in English and Spanish, so your pages, listings and prompt tests can cover both languages. A question asked in Spanish may get a different answer, citing different sources, so we test both.

In Queens, the rest of New York City and Orlando, we come to your business or work with you online; anywhere else in the US, we work online. Running a local business in Queens? See our SEO company in Queens, NY page. ¿Prefieres español? Mira nuestra consultoría SEO en español.

LLM SEO company or in-house team: how to choose

You can do LLM SEO in-house if your team can edit your site, firewall rules and listings and run monthly prompt tests. If not, hire an LLM SEO company, and ask any agency, including us:

  • Do you check what AI bots receive from my server, or only my robots.txt?
  • Which prompts will you track, in which tools and languages?
  • Do you promise citations or a fixed timeline?

Google warns that using a service or tool, AEO and GEO tools included, doesn't guarantee ranking success. Treat guarantees as a red flag.

Frequently asked questions

How does LLM SEO work?

AI search tools usually check the web before they answer. LLM SEO makes sure their crawlers can reach your pages, that your business facts match everywhere and that your content answers questions clearly enough to be quoted. Then it tracks mentions and AI referral traffic.

Will blocking GPTBot keep my business out of ChatGPT?

No. GPTBot collects content that OpenAI may use to train its models, while ChatGPT search relies on OAI-SearchBot. OpenAI treats each setting separately, so you can block GPTBot and still allow OAI-SearchBot to show and cite your pages.

Do I need an llms.txt file for LLM SEO?

Not for Google: it says you don't need AI text files to appear in its AI features, and that Google Search doesn't use them. You can still publish one for other services, but it isn't a shortcut.

How much do LLM SEO services cost?

It depends on your site's size, the locations and languages you need, and how much content has to be written. Plans are on our services page, and the first 30-minute consultation is free.

How long does LLM SEO take, and can you guarantee citations?

There is no fixed timeline and no honest guarantee, because AI answers change by user, wording, location and time. Some fixes are picked up quickly: OpenAI says ChatGPT search can take about 24 hours to adjust after a robots.txt change. Content work takes longer, and we track it with prompt tests.
