AIO (AI Optimization) refers to a broad concept of exposure optimization in AI search in general, while LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization) is a practical domain that specifically focuses on the information design that large language models like ChatGPT cite and recommend. In other words, LLMO is envisioned as being included within AIO.
AIO = Overall AI Search / LLMO = Specific measures to be cited and recommended by LLM.
Exposure in AI search is not determined solely by "search ranking."
In answer generation, it is important for the LLM to have information presented in a way that is easy to reference (cohesion of information, clarity, primary sources, and technical accessibility).
Umoren.ai visualizes how exposure occurs in AI searches, specifically "with which prompts" and "in what context," and assists in organizing information structures that are more likely to be quoted and recommended.

AIO has different meanings depending on the context, but in the field of AI search, it often refers to efforts to optimize exposure in AI search (AI Optimization). Among these, LLMO is a practical area that focuses on the citation and recommendation likelihood when LLM generates responses.
Google's AIO often refers to the AI summary box (AI Overviews) displayed in Google Search. This is not a standalone LLM like ChatGPT, but rather a mechanism where generative AI displays answer summaries within the Google Search experience.
Large Language Model Optimization (LLMO) is an initiative to optimize information design so that large language models like ChatGPT correctly understand and are more likely to reference and recommend a company or its services when generating responses.
