LLM SEO Found:
How to make your page highly citable for LLM-generated answers.

This infographic by Ahrefs breaks it down perfectly 👇

To get cited by ChatGPT & beyond,
your page should:
→ Answer a common question clearly
→ Include a timestamp (freshness matters)
→ Have a clear author byline
→ Be built on original data
→ Be structured and scannable
→ Cover the topic from multiple angles

👉  In short: Make your page AI-friendly
by making it reader-friendly.

The better your structure, the higher your 
chances of being referenced in LLM answers.

Most people still think AI in SEO means “using ChatGPT to write blogs.”

But that’s just surface-level.
The real game is engineering SEO for AI search.

Here’s the shift 👇

Traditional SEO mindset:
“How do I publish more content to rank?”

New SEO mindset:
“How do I design content so AI chooses and cites it?”

Traditional SEO = volume, backlinks, keyword density.
New SEO = structure, authority, retrievability.

Old SEO ends at the SERP.
New SEO starts where users actually search:

↳ AI Overviews. ChatGPT. Gemini. Perplexity. Claude.

If your brand isn’t surfacing in those AI answers, you’re invisible.
It doesn’t matter if you “ranked top 3” last quarter.

Because the new front page isn’t page one of Google.
It’s the AI-generated answer.

That means shifting your SEO approach to the new stack:
⟶ GEO – Generative Engine Optimization (train AI to cite you)
⟶ AEO – Answer Engine Optimization (Google AI Overviews)
⟶ AIO – AI Integration Optimization (structure content for models)
⟶ SXO – Search Experience Optimization (credibility + UX + conversions)

When you get it right:
✓ You’re cited in AI results
✓ Your brand becomes the “default answer”
✓ Trust compounds across channels

When you don’t:
⟶ Rankings won’t save you
⟶ Traffic collapses overnight
⟶ Competitors own your AI visibility


SEO isn’t about chasing clicks anymore.
👉 It’s about being retrieved, cited, and trusted by AI.

That’s the new game.
And it’s already happening.

P.S. If you want a high-resoultion of this copy, just comment "LLM SEO" and I'll send it over asap.

♻️ Repost & Follow me, Anna York, for more AI + SEO insights 🙋

Most brands think they’re winning search.
Until they realise they’re only winning half of it.

There are two discovery channels now:

Google Search → where you rank
AI Search → where you get recommended

And here’s the uncomfortable truth:

You can dominate SERPs
and still be completely invisible
when buyers ask AI for help.

That’s the visibility gap no one’s measuring.
→ Ranking ≠ being suggested
→ Traffic ≠ trust
→ Keywords ≠ prompts

You don’t lose to competitors anymore.
You lose to whoever AI decides to recommend.

This is why Semrush One exists.

One place to see what:

→ AI says about your brand
→ Models recommend (you or someone else)
→ Prompts you appear in or miss entirely
→ Your visibility looks like across Google + AI

Traditional SEO stays critical.

AI search adds a second layer that didn’t exist before.
Semrush One is where both layers meet.

👉 Want the real picture?

Check your brand across Google + AI in one scan.

See where you show up.
See where you disappear.
See what AI really thinks of you.

Are you an e-commerce brand struggling with:

- High & rising customer acquisition costs.
- Low & decreasing customer retention & LTV.
- Email deliverability issues (landing in spam folder).
- Manual workflows that limit scalability and profitability.
- Lack of in-depth email & retention marketing knowledge.

You've come to the right place.

GrowthTrigger is a Nordic-based retention marketing partner and Finland's #1 Klaviyo partner, specializing in e-commerce retention.

We're not just another email marketing agency. We're your full-stack retention marketing partner & systems engineer, focusing purely on performance.

Here's what it means for you:


Average Email Marketing Agency

- Stuck in a cycle of discounting to front-load revenue and boost email-attribution numbers to make themselves look good.
- Focus on short-term gains over long-term profitability
- Focus on aesthetic design > data-driven conversion-optimization
- No content strategy beyond discount-driven promotions.

→ At best, leads to boosted attribution numbers on Klaviyo dashboard
→ Fails to have a real impact on business growth & profitability

- Doesn’t increase LTV or retention
- 95% of revenue coming from welcome email #1.
- No segmentation or personalization

- Capturing more UGC to enhance your omnichannel experience.
- Automating customer support touchpoints for improved loyalty and efficiency.
- Nurturing customers with non-discount, value-adding content.
- Driving product adoption with educational post-purchase sequences.

→ Driving real, business-wide impact:

- Decreased CAC.
- Higher retention & LTV.
- Revenue growth within the first 30-90 days.
- Hands-free, automated retention marketing systems.
- And ultimately, improved profitability.

We made it onto the main stage of Digital Commerce Finland eCom Xmas All Stars 2025! 🤯

Well… I was actually in Spain and Olli Aaltonen was sitting in the audience. ;)

But Anne Valli highlighted us in her presentation as part of their growth toolkit and shared how we’ve rebuilt their marketing automation system together with outstanding results for both sales and overall customer experience.

A big thank-you to Anne and the entire Gugguu Oy team for the trust! A great place to keep building from. 🙏

These are the moments that make this work absolutely worth doing.

P.S. And of course, thanks again to Digital Commerce Finland for another fantastic event!
