LLM Search Optimization: A 30-Day Step-by-Step Plan

LLM search optimization is the work of making your business easier for AI-powered search tools to find, understand and cite. A good way to start is a 30-day plan: week one to measure, week two to fix technical and factual issues, week three to publish answer-focused content, and week four to earn outside mentions and re-check. It will not finish the job, but it builds a solid base.

Week 1: Measure Where You Stand

1. Write 15 to 25 questions your buyers ask. Mix discovery (“best vet clinic in Bordeaux”), comparison (“Clinic A or Clinic B”) and fact questions (“does Clinic A open on Sundays”).
2. Ask each question in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Copilot. Note who is named, what is said about you and which sources are linked.
3. Repeat a few questions twice. Answers vary, so look for patterns rather than single results.
4. Save everything in a spreadsheet. This is your baseline.

Week 2: Fix Access and Facts

• Check robots.txt and your firewall so search and AI crawlers are not blocked.
• Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Several AI tools rely on these search indexes.
• Correct any wrong fact you found in week one: hours, prices, services, addresses.
• Update your main directory listings and social profiles so they match your website.
• Add basic structured data such as Organization or LocalBusiness. See technical SEO for AI crawlers.

Week 3: Publish Answer Pages

Look at your baseline. Which questions had no good answer on your site? Write a page for the three most important ones. Each page should:

• Answer the question in the first two sentences.
• Use clear headings that match follow-up questions.
• Include specific details: prices, steps, areas served, examples.
• Link to related pages on your site.

For the veterinary clinic, that might mean pages on “emergency vet care on weekends in Bordeaux”, “cost of a dog vaccination” and “how to prepare your cat for surgery”.

Week 4: Earn Mentions and Re-Check

1. Ask five recent happy customers for an honest review on the platform that matters most in your field.
2. Contact one local or industry publication with a useful story or expert tip.
3. Make sure you are listed in the two or three directories assistants cited in week one.
4. At the end of the week, re-run a sample of your questions. Note changes, but remember that some assistants need weeks to re-crawl, and model knowledge changes only with new versions.

After 30 Days

Keep a monthly rhythm: re-test, fix one factual or technical issue, publish one or two answer pages, and earn a few genuine mentions. Steady work tends to beat one big push. For realistic timing, read our AI visibility timeline guide.

Keep a Simple Log

Write down every change you make during the 30 days, with the date: crawler settings changed, listings corrected, pages published, reviews received. When you re-check AI answers later, this log helps you link changes in visibility to specific actions, and stops you repeating work that did not seem to matter.
