Get cited by AI, not just indexed by Google
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude are the new search engines. If your site isn't structured for AI extraction, you're invisible to the next generation of discovery.
The shift happening now
40% of Gen Z uses TikTok or AI chatbots instead of Google for search. LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization) is the SEO of 2025-2030.
What we check
- llms.txt — a structured file that tells AI models about your site (like robots.txt for AI)
- llms.txt linked from HTML — discoverable via <link> tag in <head>
- JSON-LD structured data — the primary way AI extracts facts about your business
- Direct-answer content — FAQ sections, definition lists, TL;DR callouts
- Comparison tables — structured data that AI can parse and cite
- AI bot access — robots.txt doesn't block GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot
- Meta description quality — AI uses these as summaries when citing your site
The llms.txt standard
llms.txt is an emerging standard — a plain text file at your domain root that describes your product, features, pricing, and key pages in a format optimized for AI consumption. Think of it as your elevator pitch for robots.
Sites with llms.txt and rich JSON-LD schemas are 3x more likely to be cited in AI-generated answers compared to sites with the same content but no structured metadata.
