Modern SEO in the age of AI: Decoding LLM SEO
What is LLM SEO?
LLM SEO focuses on optimizing your website for AI tools and Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity and more. It's about being the top source for AI and focuses on the idea of your website being the answer, basically to all the questions people are asking LLMs: where the answer can be your brand- it's products, services and a lot more.
How is AI changing SEO and Why is LLM SEO important?
AI is rapidly reshaping the digital landscape. More and more people are turning to LLMs for their searches. User behavior on the internet is evolving fast, making optimizing for answer engines and LLMs more crucial than ever. While traditional search remains important, this is quite undeniably the future of SEO.
Beyond LLM SEO, other new SEO strategies are essentially advanced versions of what we already do for LLMs. This includes Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), and optimization for voice and visual search.
Good news is that if your website is optimized for LLM SEO, you're already hitting the mark for these too, by focusing on great content, a smooth user experience, understanding search intent, and expanding your overall visibility.

How is AI changing SEO?
AI is transforming SEO by shifting focus from keywords to understanding full user intent and providing direct answers. It means optimizing content for AI models and generative features, not just traditional search rankings.
What's the difference between traditional SEO and LLM SEO?
Traditional SEO aims to rank websites in the SERP- search engine results. LLM SEO focuses on making your content understandable and trustworthy enough for AI to summarize it directly, potentially reducing the need for clicks.
What is AEO in SEO?
AEO in SEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. AEO focuses on optimizing content to provide direct, concise answers to the user’s questions, making it easier for AI-powered search engines, voice assistants, and featured snippets to display your information directly without a click
Will LLMs decrease website traffic?
Yes, LLMs are likely to increase "zero-click" searches where users get answers directly from AI summaries, potentially reducing direct website traffic for some informational queries. Many websites have already noted a surge in impressions with decreased clicks. However, they may also drive traffic for complex needs or deeper research.
Do LLMs prefer certain types of content or platforms (e.g., Reddit, Wikipedia, forums)?
LLMs prefer content that is factual, authoritative, and distributed across diverse, trusted sources. This includes well-structured websites, academic papers, research outcomes and often reliable user-generated content from platforms like Wikipedia or active community forums (e.g., Reddit, Quora).
How do I get my content to show up in Google's AI Overviews and LLM answers like ChatGPT?
Focus on clear, concise, and comprehensive content that directly answers questions. Implement strong E-E-A-T signals, use structured data (schema), and ensure your site is technically flawless and highly authoritative.
How do I optimize for conversational search queries?
Create content that directly answers natural language questions, similar to how people speak. Use FAQs and clear headings, and provide quick, definitive answers to common inquiries within your content.
How do I balance human expertise with AI capabilities in my SEO strategy?
You can use AI to make your research, writing, and technical checks more efficient. But human expertise, combined with a deep understanding of what users truly want, is still very important for fresh ideas, guiding your strategy, and making sure that there is accuracy, creativity, and high quality is maintained throughout.
