AI-SEO (also known as LLMO or GEO) is the practice of optimizing web content for AI-powered search engines.
Unlike traditional SEO that focuses on Google rankings, AI-SEO ensures your content gets cited and recommended
by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. With over 40% of searches now involving AI,
websites not optimized for AI are becoming invisible to a growing audience.
Why AI-SEO Matters in 2025
Traditional SEO alone is no longer enough. Here's why forward-thinking businesses are investing in AI search optimization:
🎯
Get Cited, Not Just Ranked
When ChatGPT or Perplexity answers a question, they cite sources. AI-SEO ensures you're the source they quote.
📈
Capture Growing Traffic
AI search usage grows 25% monthly. The GAISEO SaaS platform helps you track and capture this traffic.
🏆
Outrank Competitors
Most businesses ignore AI-SEO. Early adopters using the GAISEO Plugin gain significant competitive advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AI-SEO
What is AI-SEO and why does it matter?
AI-SEO (also called LLMO or GEO) is the practice of optimizing web content for AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, and Claude. Unlike traditional SEO that focuses on ranking in Google's blue links, AI-SEO focuses on getting your content cited and recommended in AI-generated answers. With over 40% of search queries now involving AI assistants, websites that aren't optimized for AI are becoming invisible to a growing segment of searchers.
What does the GAISEO 11-Parameter Framework check?
The GAISEO 11-Parameter Framework analyzes your website across 11 critical AI-SEO factors: Structured Data (JSON-LD schemas), Images (alt-text quality), FAQ (FAQPage markup), Freshness (date signals), Headings (H1 hierarchy), Internationalization (hreflang), Internal Linking, HTML Semantics, Header & Footer, Content Quality (quotable definitions), and E-E-A-T signals. Each parameter is weighted based on its impact on AI visibility, giving you a comprehensive score from 0-100.
How is the AI-SEO Score calculated?
Your AI-SEO Score is calculated using a weighted formula across all 11 parameters. Structured Data, FAQ, and Content Quality have the highest weights (12-15% each) because they most directly impact how AI models parse and cite your content. A score of 90+ indicates excellent AI readiness, 75-89 is good, 50-74 needs improvement, and below 50 requires significant optimization.
What is the difference between traditional SEO and AI-SEO?
Traditional SEO optimizes for search engine ranking positions (SERPs), focusing on keywords, backlinks, and click-through rates. AI-SEO optimizes for citation and recommendation by AI assistants. While traditional SEO asks "How do I rank higher?", AI-SEO asks "How do I get quoted?". Key differences include: AI-SEO prioritizes structured data and semantic markup over backlinks, values quotable definitions over keyword density, and requires freshness signals that traditional SEO often ignores.
How can I improve my AI-SEO Score?
To improve your AI-SEO Score: 1) Add JSON-LD schema markup (Organization, FAQPage, Article), 2) Create quotable definitions using patterns like "X is defined as..." or "X refers to...", 3) Add FAQPage schema with 5-7 questions and comprehensive answers, 4) Include datePublished and dateModified in your schema, 5) Use semantic HTML (article, section, main tags), 6) Write descriptive alt-text for all images, and 7) Add author information with Person schema. The GAISEO Plugin can automate most of these optimizations directly in your WordPress dashboard.
Which AI platforms does AI-SEO help with?
AI-SEO optimization improves your visibility across all major AI search platforms including: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Google Gemini and AI Overviews, Perplexity AI, Claude (Anthropic), Microsoft Copilot, and emerging AI assistants. These platforms use similar techniques to parse and understand web content, so optimizations that work for one typically benefit all. The GAISEO SaaS platform specifically tracks your brand mentions and recommendations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.
