What does an LLM SEO agency do?

An LLM SEO agency makes a brand easier for large language models to identify, retrieve, trust, and cite. DoodleWeb improves technical access, entity signals, answer-first pages, schema, and third-party corroboration, then checks priority prompts weekly across 6 AI experiences to show where the brand appears and which competitors are being recommended instead.

How is LLM SEO different from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO optimizes pages for positions in ranked search results; LLM SEO optimizes a brand for inclusion in generated responses. In 2026, both depend on authority and helpful content, but LLM SEO adds entity clarity, extractable facts, source consistency, structured data, and direct testing across multiple conversational and generative engines.

How much does LLM SEO cost per month?

DoodleWeb LLM SEO retainers start at $4,000 per month and typically range from $4,000 to $12,000. A focused 3–5 week sprint ranges from $8,000 to $20,000. Pricing reflects the number of prompts, pages, third-party profiles, and new content pieces included in the fixed scope.

How long until an LLM cites us?

The first measurable citation changes commonly appear within 60–90 days after DoodleWeb publishes the priority content, schema, and entity corrections. Narrow branded prompts can move earlier, while broad commercial prompts may require more than 3 months of publishing and third-party validation before models consistently include a new source.

What is included in a DoodleWeb LLM SEO engagement?

The engagement combines 8 workstreams: prompt mapping, baseline citation tests, crawler access, entity consistency, answer-first rewrites, structured data, external profile alignment, and weekly reporting. DoodleWeb also reviews GA4 and Search Console monthly to connect AI visibility with referred sessions, buyer journeys, conversions, and qualified leads.

Weekly tracking across all four engines.

ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude — sampled weekly for your priority queries with a competitor benchmark.

We ship the work, not just the strategy deck.

Schema, content rewrites, entity definition, directory listings, citation outreach — all in the same engagement.

We operate LLM SEO on our own site, every day.

The weekly citation report and our own publishing program keep the strategy grounded in live production rather than theory.

Which LLMs and AI search engines do you cover?

DoodleWeb covers 6 major surfaces: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot. Each engine is tested separately because its source mix and refresh schedule differ. Reporting preserves those differences instead of combining every result into one score that obscures where progress actually happened.

How do you measure LLM visibility?

A dated baseline records citation presence, answer position, cited URL, sentiment, and competitor mentions for each target prompt. DoodleWeb repeats those tests weekly and reviews AI-referred traffic and conversions monthly in GA4 and Search Console. The measurement approach is documented on the 2026 AEO Citation Index page.

Who is LLM SEO for?

LLM SEO is for established companies with at least 10 valuable buyer prompts and a website capable of supporting expert, verifiable content. DoodleWeb serves B2B, SaaS, professional services, higher education, ecommerce, and agency partners that want to turn AI-assisted vendor research into qualified leads, not simply collect unconnected citation screenshots.

Frequently asked questions

What is an LLM SEO agency?+

An LLM SEO agency optimizes a brand for citation inside large-language-model answers — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. The terms LLM SEO, AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) describe the same job under different labels: get the brand named inside the answer, not just on the search results page.

How is LLM SEO different from traditional SEO?+

Traditional SEO is judged by Google ranking position. LLM SEO is judged by whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Claude name your brand when asked an intent query. The signals overlap (clean structure, schema, authority) but LLM SEO weighs entity strength, extractable prose, and multi-source citation graph more heavily than backlinks.

What does an LLM SEO agency actually do?+

Six things: (1) baseline which engines cite you for which queries today, (2) ship an entity / 'who is the brand' page in declarative prose, (3) layer Organization + FAQ + Service + BreadcrumbList JSON-LD across commercial pages, (4) publish ranked listicles that name the brand alongside competitors, (5) submit and maintain consistent directory profiles (Clutch, DesignRush, The Manifest, GoodFirms), (6) run weekly citation tests across all four engines and report deltas.

How fast does LLM SEO work?+

Brand and long-tail queries usually flip within 1–4 weeks because the engines re-crawl frequently. Mid-tail service queries take 8–16 weeks. Head terms ('best CRM') require PR and directory work alongside on-site changes and can take a quarter or more.

How much does an LLM SEO retainer cost?+

Honest 2026 ranges: $4K–$12K/mo for ongoing LLM SEO retainers including monthly tracking and 4–8 ranked listicles. One-off sprints (audit, entity page, schema, baseline citation report, 5 listicles) run $8K–$20K. Enterprise programs with full content production land at $12K–$35K/mo.

Do you do classic SEO too?+

Yes. Technical SEO, Core Web Vitals, schema, internal linking, and content restructuring all compound with LLM SEO — answer engines and Google's classic index reward the same underlying signals. Every LLM SEO engagement ships the SEO foundation alongside the citation work.
