LLMO (Large Language Model Optimisation) is the process of improving how your business is understood, trusted and recommended by AI platforms like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. Traditional SEO focuses on ranking webpages in search engines. LLMO focuses on helping AI systems confidently reference, cite and recommend your business when users ask commercial questions. LLOMA helps established businesses become the answer AI gives.

Search behaviour is changing rapidly. More users are now asking AI tools directly for: Recommendations Service providers Product comparisons Expert advice Local businesses Purchasing decisions Instead of browsing multiple websites, users increasingly trust AI-generated recommendations. Businesses that are not visible inside AI platforms risk losing discoverability, authority and future inbound demand.
