The Future of Search Isn’t Just Google — It’s AI
If your business is still only focused on ranking in Google, it’s time to rethink your strategy. As tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and other AI assistants become more common, people are skipping search engines entirely and going straight to conversational AI for answers.
This shift is moving us from SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to LLMO — Large Language Model Optimization.
And yes, it matters for your business.
What Is LLMO?
LLMO is how you make sure your business, product, or service shows up in AI-generated answers.
Instead of just trying to get clicks from search results, LLMO is about making your content accessible, relevant, and well-structured so that AI tools can understand it, reference it, and recommend it.
If someone asks ChatGPT:
“What’s a good local marketing agency in Houston?”
and your business is optimized for LLMO, it can actually mention your business in its response.
ChatGPT Now Lets Businesses Submit Their Products
Here’s the big update: ChatGPT now allows businesses to submit their product listings for potential inclusion in responses.
That means if someone asks the AI for a product recommendation, your offering could be right there in the mix — without needing to fight for a top spot on Google or pay for ads.
This changes how people discover brands.
Why LLMO Is a Big Deal for Businesses
Here’s why you should care about LLMO:
AI is now a discovery tool. People are using ChatGPT to find products, services, and businesses.
Trust is shifting. Users trust answers from AI because they’re faster, cleaner, and more direct than traditional search results.
Less friction = more conversions. If your product shows up in a direct answer, you’ve already bypassed the competition.
Being part of the AI’s knowledge base gets you in front of users sooner and more naturally.

Final Thoughts
Search behavior is changing. People are talking to AI tools, not just typing into search bars. If your business isn’t being found by these tools, you’re missing out on a fast-growing channel of discovery.

Make sure your brand is part of the conversation.
