LLM and ChatGPT optimisation

LLM optimisation is the practice of making your website and brand easy for large language models — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot — to understand, trust and cite. Alugence optimises your content, structure and entity signals so AI models quote you as a source, turning the answers they generate into traffic and leads for your business.

What is llm and chatgpt optimisation?

LLM optimisation is the work of structuring a website and its content so large language models can read it, understand what your brand is, and cite it accurately in their answers. Because many AI crawlers don't run JavaScript and assemble answers from extractable, authoritative text, LLM optimisation focuses on clean HTML, answer-first content, entity clarity, schema and technical access (like llms.txt and crawler permissions).

Server-side rendered content, robots.txt permissions for AI crawlers, and an llms.txt manifest.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions, answered directly.

How do I optimise my website for ChatGPT?

Make your site easy for AI models to read and trust: serve key content in the initial HTML (many AI crawlers don't run JavaScript), lead with clear answers, keep your brand entity consistent, add schema, allow AI crawlers in robots.txt, and publish an llms.txt manifest. Then build citations in sources the models draw on. That's the core of LLM optimisation.

Why isn't my brand showing up in AI answers?

Common reasons are that AI crawlers can't read your JavaScript-rendered content, your brand entity is inconsistent or unclear, your content isn't structured to be extracted, or you lack citations in trusted sources. An LLM optimisation audit pinpoints which of these is holding you back.

What is llms.txt?

llms.txt is a plain-text file at your site's root that gives AI crawlers a curated summary of your brand and key URLs, helping them understand and cite you. It's a small but useful signal in LLM optimisation — see our llms.txt guide.
