What We Do

SEO Rebuilt for the AI Answer Layer

Search no longer ends in ten blue links. It ends in a single AI-generated answer. We make sure that answer includes your store.

Large language models are becoming a primary shopping research channel. When someone asks ChatGPT “what’s the best running shoe for flat feet” or Perplexity “compare the top espresso machines under £300,” the AI synthesizes an answer from a narrow set of sources it trusts. If your store isn’t in that set, you don’t exist for that customer — no matter how well you rank on Google.

LLM SEO, also called generative engine optimization (GEO), is the discipline of structuring your content, data, and brand signals so AI models can find you, understand you, and confidently recommend you. It builds on traditional SEO but adds a new layer: machine-readability, factual consistency, and citation-worthiness.

We optimize for how language models actually retrieve and generate answers — through crawlable content, structured data, clear product facts, and the kind of authoritative third-party mentions that make an AI model trust your brand enough to name it.

🤖

Built for Retrieval, Not Just Ranking

We structure product and category content so it can be parsed, chunked, and retrieved accurately by AI systems pulling from your site.

📊

Machine-Readable Product Data

Schema markup, structured specifications, and clean data feeds that give LLMs unambiguous facts about your products.

🔗

Citation & Authority Building

We earn the third-party mentions and reviews that AI models pull from when deciding which brands are trustworthy enough to recommend.

The Problem

Are You In The Answer — Or Invisible?

This is what happens when a shopper asks an AI model for a recommendation. One store gets named. One doesn’t. The difference is LLM SEO.

Everything You Need to Show Up in AI Answers

From technical AI-crawlability to the authority signals that earn citations, we cover every layer of generative engine optimization for eCommerce.

🕸

AI Crawlability Audit

We audit how AI crawlers and retrieval systems access your site — robots.txt rules, JavaScript rendering, llms.txt setup, and content blockers preventing models from reading your pages at all.

🏷

Structured Data & Schema

Product, Offer, Review, and FAQ schema implemented to give language models unambiguous, machine-parsable facts about price, availability, specs, and ratings.

📦

Product Feed & Data Optimization

Clean, consistent product data across your site, feeds, and marketplaces — the same facts everywhere, which is what builds the consistency LLMs use to trust a source.

📝

Answer-Ready Content

Buying guides, comparison pages, and FAQs written in the direct, well-structured format that gets pulled into AI Overviews, ChatGPT answers, and Perplexity citations.

🏛

Brand Entity Optimization

We strengthen your brand’s knowledge graph presence — Wikipedia, Wikidata, business directories, and consistent NAP data — so AI models recognize you as a real, trustworthy entity.

🔗

Citation & Digital PR

We earn mentions on the review sites, comparison hubs, and publications that LLMs cite most often — the backlinks of the AI era.

Review & Reputation Signals

Structured review data and reputation management across Trustpilot, Google, and industry platforms — sentiment that LLMs weigh heavily when forming recommendations.

💬

Conversational Query Mapping

We research how your customers actually phrase questions to AI chatbots and build content that answers those exact conversational, long-tail queries.

📈

AI Visibility Tracking

Ongoing monitoring of your brand’s presence across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overviews, with reporting on citations earned and share of voice against competitors.

Our Process

Our 5-Step LLM SEO Process

Generative engine optimization is a young discipline that builds directly on SEO fundamentals. Here is how we get your store into the AI answer layer.

Step 01

AI Visibility Baseline

We test how your brand currently appears — or doesn’t — across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews for the queries your customers actually ask. This becomes your starting benchmark.

Step 02

Technical & Crawlability Fixes

We resolve the technical barriers stopping AI crawlers from reading your site — rendering issues, blocked bots, missing structured data, and inconsistent product information.

Step 03

Content & Data Restructuring

We rebuild key pages into clear, factual, well-structured formats that LLMs can extract and quote accurately — direct answers up front, supporting detail underneath, schema throughout.

Step 04

Authority & Citation Building

We secure the third-party mentions, reviews, and structured listings that give language models a reason to trust and cite your brand over competitors.

Step 05

Monitor, Refine & Scale

AI models update constantly. We re-test your visibility on an ongoing basis, track new citations, and adapt as platforms change how they source and surface answers.

Results That Speak

From Invisible to Cited

Generative engine optimization is still early — which means the brands that move first capture outsized visibility before the space gets crowded.

Tracked Conversational Queries

AI-driven traffic is small today and growing fast. Shoppers increasingly start product research in a chat window instead of a search bar, and the brands an LLM names first capture disproportionate trust — most users never check a second opinion.

Our clients typically see measurable improvements in AI citation frequency within 8-12 weeks, as structured data updates and new authority signals get absorbed into model retrieval systems and search indexes that feed them.

We track real conversational queries — not just keywords. “Best budget blender for smoothies that won’t break,” “which UK retailer has the fastest returns for electronics” — these are the prompts shaping purchase decisions, and we make sure your brand is part of the answer.

FAQ

Common Questions About LLM SEO

Everything you need to know about optimizing your eCommerce store for AI search and generative engines.

LLM SEO is one of the fastest-moving areas in search. The questions below cover what most eCommerce brands ask first when they start thinking about AI visibility.

What is LLM SEO? +
LLM SEO — also called generative engine optimization (GEO) or AI search optimization — is the practice of structuring your website, content, and brand data so AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity can find, understand, and recommend your products. It builds on traditional SEO but focuses on machine-readability and citation-worthiness rather than just ranking position.
How is LLM SEO different from traditional SEO? +
Traditional SEO optimizes for ranking position in a list of links. LLM SEO optimizes for being selected, synthesized, and cited inside a single generated answer. That means a heavier focus on structured data, factual clarity, third-party authority signals, and content that can be accurately extracted and quoted — alongside the technical foundations that good SEO already requires.
Do I still need regular SEO if I do LLM SEO? +
Yes. Many AI systems, including Google AI Overviews and Perplexity, draw heavily on traditional search indexes and ranking signals to decide which sources to trust. Strong technical and content SEO is the foundation that LLM SEO builds on, not a replacement for it.
How do you measure AI search visibility? +
We run a structured set of real customer queries against ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews on a recurring basis, tracking whether your brand is mentioned, cited, or linked, and how that compares to competitors. This gives a measurable baseline and ongoing share-of-voice tracking.
Can you guarantee my store will be mentioned by ChatGPT? +
No reputable agency can guarantee specific mentions in any AI model’s output, since these systems are controlled by third parties and change constantly. What we can do is systematically improve every factor known to influence whether a model trusts and cites your brand — and track that progress transparently over time.
Which AI platforms do you optimize for? +
We optimize for the major generative engines shoppers actually use: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Gemini, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot. Because these systems share many underlying signals — structured data, authority, content clarity — work done for one typically improves visibility across all of them.
