Why now
The ten blue links are becoming one answer.
Every month, more of your buyers ask an AI assistant instead of typing keywords into a search box. Those assistants don't show a results page. They synthesize a single answer and cite a handful of sources.
If you're not one of them, you're not in the conversation.
Then — a results page
Ten links, ranked. You could be #4 and still win a click. Traffic was the metric, keywords the currency.
Now — an answer
One answer, three to five citations. The model decides who is trustworthy, who is relevant and who gets named. There is no page two.
3–5
Sources cited in a typical AI answer. Being on that list is the whole game.

Why we built our own monitoring
How it works
A repeatable system for getting quoted.
Not a bag of tricks. A 90-day cycle we run again and again, with measurement built in from day one.
01
Audit
We map how every major AI engine answers the questions your buyers ask — and where you stand versus competitors.
02
Prompt map
We build your prompt universe: hundreds of real questions, grouped by intent and buying stage, prioritised by value.
03
Optimize
We restructure and write content AI systems can extract, trust and attribute — clear answers, entities, schema, original data.
04
Amplify
We earn mentions in the sources models lean on: industry publications, communities, review sites and reference pages.
05
Measure
We track citations, share of voice and sentiment across engines every week — and double down on what's working.
What we do
Everything it takes to get cited.
Six disciplines, one goal: when a model answers a question in your category, it reaches for you.
Answer-Ready Content
Pages rebuilt for extractability: direct answers, definitional clarity, comparison tables, FAQs and original data models love to quote.
Learn moreEntity & Knowledge Graph
Make your brand a well-defined entity: structured data, consistent facts everywhere, and the reference presence models cross-check against.
Learn moreCitation & Source Authority
Earned mentions in the publications, communities and review sites AI engines already trust — the corroboration that turns a claim into a citation.
Learn moreTechnical Access
Make sure AI crawlers can actually reach and read you: robots.txt for AI bots, llms.txt, rendering, speed, canonicals and clean markup.
Learn moreMonitoring & Reporting
Weekly prompt tracking across engines: citation rate, share of voice, position, sentiment and accuracy — with alerts when something changes.

Quoted, by the people who hired us.
Within eight weeks, ChatGPT went from never mentioning us to naming us first for our two most valuable prompts. Demo requests from AI referrals are now a line item in our board deck.

VP Marketing, Ledgerly
We'd spent years on SEO and had nothing to show for it in Perplexity. Quoted First rebuilt our product pages so they actually get quoted. It's a different game and they know the rules.

The reporting alone changed how our leadership thinks about search. Seeing exactly what AI says about us — and watching it improve week over week — made the case for itself.

FAQ
Questions we get asked — by humans and by models.
Straight answers, structured so an AI could quote them. We practise what we preach.
Ask us something elseWhat is LLM search optimization?
LLM search optimization — you'll also hear generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO) — is the practice of making your brand and your content the source AI assistants cite, quote and recommend when people ask them questions. It spans content structure, entity clarity, structured data, third-party corroboration and technical access for AI crawlers.
How is it different from SEO?
SEO competes for a position on a results page. LLM search optimization competes for a citation inside one synthesized answer. Crawlability and authority still matter, but answer-ready structure, unambiguous entities and corroboration across trusted sources matter far more — and keyword density matters far less. Good SEO is a head start, not a substitute.
Which AI engines do you optimize for?
ChatGPT (including ChatGPT search), Perplexity, Claude, Google Gemini, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, and Microsoft Copilot. We add engines to monitoring as they gain meaningful share, and we report per engine because they don't all cite the same way.
How long until we see results?
Most clients see first citation gains within four to eight weeks and meaningful share-of-voice shifts within 90 days. Timelines depend on your baseline authority and how competitive your category is — an audit tells you where you're starting from.
Do you guarantee we'll be quoted first?
No one can guarantee what a model will say — anyone who does is selling something else. What we guarantee is the process, transparent weekly measurement and a clear view of progress. Our track record: 68% of clients are quoted first for at least one priority prompt within 90 days.
Can we do this in-house?
Absolutely — and we'll help you. We offer audit-only engagements and team training. Most clients keep us for the monitoring infrastructure, the outreach network and the pace of iteration, but we're happy to be the team that makes your team good at this.
