What is an LLM and why does it affect SEO?
An LLM (large language model) is artificial intelligence that understands and generates human language. These models do not just look for keywords – they assess context, quality and trustworthiness. When a user asks the AI a question, the answer is built from well-structured, authoritative content.
Why optimize your website for LLMs?
- Visibility in AI answers – your content can appear in AI answers even when it is not on Google's first page
- Trust – when AI references your site, users trust it more
- New traffic channels – more traffic comes from ChatGPT, Perplexity and others
- Competitive advantage – most competitors still focus only on classic SEO
How to optimize your website for AI?
- Write quality, thorough and factually accurate content
- Structure content in a question-and-answer format
- Add structured data (schema markup)
- Use keywords naturally, not artificially
- Link to reliable sources and show authors
