What is llm seo?
LLM SEO is the technical layer of AI visibility: making your templates, markup, rendering and content structure parseable, chunkable and quotable by large language models. If a model cannot cleanly extract a passage from your page and attribute it, it will not cite you regardless of how good the content is.
What this service covers
- Restructure page templates so passages chunk cleanly for retrieval
- Author and maintain llms.txt at your domain root
- Configure AI crawler directives across GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended
- Fix client-side rendering that leaves AI crawlers an empty shell
- Rebuild product and category templates for machine extraction
Who it is for
Businesses that already have something worth promoting and need it found. If you are pre-launch with no product and no site, start with the consulting hour instead — a retainer would be premature and we will say so.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
What is llms.txt and does it matter yet?
It is a plain-text file at your domain root describing your content and structure for LLM crawlers, conceptually similar to robots.txt but written for retrieval rather than indexing. Adoption is still early so it is not a ranking factor. It costs almost nothing and removes ambiguity, which is why we ship it on every build.
Should we block AI crawlers instead?
Only if your revenue comes from people landing on your pages and consuming content there, such as ad-supported publishing or paid archives. If your revenue comes from being discovered and recommended, blocking guarantees you are never cited. We will tell you honestly which side of that line you are on.
How long before we see results?
Traditional ranking improvements typically appear within 60 to 90 days, faster on pages already ranking between positions 8 and 20. AI citations follow a consistent curve: entity indexing at 30 to 45 days, first citations around day 60, consistent mentions by day 90, stable visibility at 4 to 6 months.
What does it cost?
Consulting is $30 per hour. Retainers are scoped after the audit, because quoting before diagnosis is guesswork. Run the free audit first and the priority usually becomes obvious.
