AI search engine optimization

A few new terms or buzzwords have emerged in the online marketing world: GEO, LLMO, AIO, AI Search, and AI SEO. All five terms have something in common: AI search engine optimization.

AI search is becoming increasingly customized and personalized.

It’s recommended to put yourself in the shoes of a specific persona and create content with personalized context.

How to create content in a personalized context?

First, you should analyze AI search results. You can try acting as a persona and consider the following points when creating LLMs prompts:

  • Put yourself in this persona’s shoes (as if you were a “persona”)
  • Try to find suitable keywords or brand keywords
  • What questions would this persona ask?

Second, you should understand the context and why you need the different personas. Then you can have appropriate personas created and define their personalities. It is believed that LLMs provide different brand recommendations based on the prompts of different personas.

Third, you should map out a marketing funnel for each potential persona. Then you can research brand keywords and create new content. This approach is a bit different from traditional SEO keyword research.

With the increasing personalization of AI search functions, it becomes crucial to control discoverability in a targeted manner. Each persona should be addressed through a dedicated funnel.

What do these new terms (LLMO) mean for online marketers?

These new terms describe almost identical concerns with slightly different focuses. Large Language Model Optimization (LLMO) is used in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity to present the right information and also increase a brand presence in the respective language model.

AI Search, AI SEO and AI Optimization (AIO) have identical tasks of making content visible to AI language models.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) refers to optimization for generative search engines (Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, or Perplexity). The goal is to increase visibility and mentions in AI systems. GEO is seen as an extension of traditional SEO.

AI search optimization (AI SEO), or more accurately “AI-powered search”, is forcing us to rethink our business models, content formats and user expectations. How systems, content, brand images, brand mentions interact and what role a website can still play in the new ecosystem (AI-systems), are crucial here.

What is the goal of GEO, AIO and LLMO?

There are two main objectives of GEO, AIO and LLMO:

  1. Linking and mentoring your content and referring pages.
  2. Brand, company and product mention in AI-generated results.

You can pursue two main goals of GEO by examining the development of LLMs answers.

Secure a long-term digital presence

How are LLMs answers generated?

LLM’s answers are generated through a combination of pre-training data (webpages, books, academic papers, forums, social media platforms, etc.) up to the model’s knowledge base and retrieval/grounding data, or Retrieval-Argumented-Generation (RAG), or so-called “AI Search Mode,” where the AI ​​model goes beyond static memory and searches for external information in real time for more accurate and up-to-date answers.

Retrieval or grounding data (current SERP results on Google) are essential for displaying search results in various LLM models (ChatGPT, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Cloude). The information from pre-training data for language models is often insufficient to provide current and up-to-date answers. Therefore, it is important to achieve good rankings in search engines such as Google. A well-ranking website with business-relevant keywords and a frequently mentioned brand could lead to better visibility in LLM models and AI-generated results.

Does good SEO equal good GEO (LLMO)?

The claim that good SEO also means good GEO is true. In addition to traditional technical SEO, you should also consider optimizing the brand context and strategic digital PR (online public relations).

GEO is much more complex than SEO, but SEO is an important building block when it comes to optimizing different AI language models and LLMO.

SEO is constantly evolving and gaining an additional dimension (AI-dimension). The goal remains unchanged: white-hat SEO practices, and high-quality content also pays off in generative engine optimization.
