Experts in LLMO countermeasures explain how to choose the right company. We provide a detailed introduction based on field insights, covering strategies for achieving results with AI search, five criteria for selecting companies, and the actual effects of implementation.
Companies that can truly achieve results with LLMO measures are those that "understand the mechanisms of AI search and possess the design capability to obtain recommendations rather than just citations." It is essential to adopt a specialized approach that considers how LLMs (large language models) acquire, evaluate, and generate information, rather than merely extending traditional SEO efforts.
While operating the LLMO support service "umoren.ai" at Queue Inc., we have realized that many companies face challenges such as "not knowing which company to ask for help" and "being unable to determine what criteria to use for selection." In this article, we will explain how to choose recommended companies and strategies to achieve results based on our insights as LLMO experts.
Current State of the Industry Surrounding LLMO Measures
The demand for LLMO measures has rapidly expanded since the latter half of 2025. This is due to the sharp increase in users utilizing generative AI such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity for information gathering. According to Gartner's predictions, traffic from traditional search engines is expected to decrease by 25% by 2026, shifting the importance of exposure on AI search from "nice to have" to "critical to have" for companies.
In response to this situation, the number of companies advocating for LLMO measures is on the rise. However, there is significant variability in the quality and scope of services. We will organize the challenges we have observed in the market through our operation of umoren.ai.
Three Challenges Faced by Many Companies
1. Limited Scope of Measures
Some services only target Google AI Overviews, with inadequate support for other AI models such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Since the use of AI search is distributed across multiple platforms, optimizing for a single model can lead to significant missed opportunities.
2. Sticking to an Extension of SEO Approaches
Simply applying traditional SEO techniques such as keyword optimization and meta tag adjustments does not sufficiently address how LLMs acquire and cite information. A structural design that understands the retrieval logic of RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) is required.
3. Inability to Distinguish Between Citations and Recommendations
Having a company's name displayed as a "source" in AI search results is fundamentally different from being recommended as a "recommended company." The latter leads to conversions, yet many companies fail to recognize this distinction.
Expert Insights: Five Criteria for Choosing LLMO Measure Companies
Through our support for LLMO measures, we have identified common characteristics among companies that achieve results. When selecting recommended companies for LLMO measures, we recommend evaluating them based on the following five criteria.
Criterion 1: Breadth of Supported AI Models
Companies requesting LLMO measures should verify whether the service supports at least the major models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overview. AI search users are not fixed to specific models and are increasingly likely to use multiple AIs concurrently.
Criterion 2: Depth of Technical Understanding
Understanding the RAG retrieval logic of LLMs, Query Fan-Out (query decomposition and expansion processing), and chunking mechanisms directly impacts results. Services that lack technical backing from a marketing perspective may find it difficult to achieve fundamental improvements.
Criterion 3: Provision of Both SaaS Tools and Consulting
LLMO measures require both diagnostic and analytical tools as well as consulting for strategic design and content creation. A flexible provision model that allows companies to use only tools, only consulting, or a combination of both according to their situation is desirable.
Criterion 4: Specificity of Improvement Achievements
It is important to provide quantitative evidence of how much the AI citation rate has improved and how it has impacted conversions, rather than simply stating "we implemented AI measures."
Criterion 5: Continuous Monitoring System
The algorithms and behaviors of AI search models change frequently. It is essential to confirm whether the service can provide ongoing support that includes monitoring exposure in AI search and repeating improvements rather than stopping at a one-time optimization.
Five Strategies for Achieving Results with LLMO Measures
Based on the criteria for selecting LLMO measure companies, we present five strategies necessary for achieving actual results. These are approaches we have validated while supporting over 50 companies at umoren.ai.
Strategy 1: Redesign Content Structure with AI Citations in Mind
Content that is easy for AI to cite has clear structural patterns. Specifically, the following elements are effective in design:
- Definition-Type Content: Use a format like "○○ means △△," making it easy for AI to directly retrieve as an answer.
- Chunk Design that Facilitates RAG Retrieval: Place conclusions in 1-2 sentences directly under headings to make it easier for AI to extract information.
- Query Fan-Out Compatibility: Prepare content that comprehensively answers related questions derived from a single main query.
At umoren.ai, we have produced and supported over 5,000 articles of AI-optimized content, incorporating the above structural design into our standard process.
Strategy 2: Aim for Recommendations in the Comparison and Consideration Phase
Users arriving via AI search often have already compared and considered options, with clear intent and are close to making a decision. Therefore, the conversion rate from AI search tends to be higher than that from traditional search traffic.
Our support achievements show that the CV improvement from AI search traffic has reached 4.4 times. This figure supports the high purchasing intent of AI search users. Thus, LLMO measures should set the goal of being "recommended in the comparison and consideration phase" rather than merely gaining recognition.
Strategy 3: Cross-Model Optimization Across Multiple AI Models
Major AI models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overview each have different information retrieval logics. By conducting cross-model optimization that supports more than six AI searches, companies can avoid dependency risks on specific models and maximize overall exposure.
Strategy 4: Technical Implementation of Structured Data and FAQs
For AI to accurately understand information, not only the content but also the technical implementation is important. Proper HTML implementation of structured data in JSON-LD format, FAQ structured markup, and comparison tables enhances the accuracy of AI's information retrieval.
An optimization approach led by engineers who are well-versed in LLM mechanisms is particularly effective in this area.
Strategy 5: Continuous Diagnosis and Execution of PDCA
Exposure in AI search fluctuates due to model updates and competitive trends. After understanding the current situation through initial diagnosis, it is essential to regularly monitor exposure in AI search and repeat the cycle of improvement measures.

Future Outlook: How Will LLMO Measures Change After 2026?
We believe that the field of LLMO measures will continue to evolve and become more specialized in the future.
The Importance of Multi-Modal Support Will Increase
After 2026, AI models will enhance multi-modal information retrieval, including not just text but also images, videos, and audio. In addition to optimizing text content, the structuring of visual information assets will also become necessary.
Industry-Specific LLMO Measures Will Become Mainstream
As the number of AI search users increases, specialized optimization know-how for each industry will become crucial. Measures based on the search patterns and AI evaluation trends specific to industries such as SaaS, BtoB, healthcare, and finance will be key to differentiation.
Response to AI Agents
It is anticipated that the proliferation of "AI agents," which not only present information but also perform actions such as reservations, purchases, and inquiries, will occur. In this context, content design that allows for recommendations by AI and selection as targets for actions will become a new challenge.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can LLMO measures be developed in-house?
A: Basic improvements to content structure can be done in-house, but addressing RAG retrieval logic and optimizing across multiple AI models requires specialized knowledge and tools. A hybrid system of in-house and external support is efficient.
Q: How long does it take to see the effects of LLMO measures?
A: It depends on the information update cycle of the AI models, but in some cases, changes in citations can be confirmed within weeks after publishing structured content. Continuous efforts over 3 to 6 months are recommended for stable results.
Q: Should SEO measures and LLMO measures be conducted separately?
A: The two are complementary. Content that ranks high in SEO is likely to become a source for AI information retrieval, so maintaining the foundation of SEO while optimizing structure and format for LLMO measures is the most effective approach.
Conclusion
When selecting recommended companies for LLMO measures, it is important to evaluate them based on five criteria: breadth of supported AI models, depth of technical understanding, flexibility of provision models, specificity of improvement achievements, and continuous monitoring systems.
AI search has the characteristic that being "recommended in the comparison and consideration phase" directly leads to conversions, unlike traditional search engines. Understanding this characteristic and choosing a partner capable of designing strategies aimed at obtaining recommendations rather than citations is the first step to achieving results.
