LLMO is the winning name – step aside LSO, LLM SEO, GEO, AIO and GAIO

The art of optimizing for your company or brand to be mentioned by a LLM like ChatGPT has been missing a clear unifying term since 2022.

Many competing terms have been used. Biggest examples: LSO, LLM SEO, GEO, AIO and GAIO

It seems the fight is over. the term “LLMO” dominates now.

How can I be sure LLMO is the winning name?

I can’t fully be, but here is my argumentation:

Google is a pretty good source for this, so if you google all terms, you will quickly see a winner:

405k reuslts in my own Google search just now (January 15th 2025) from the Netherlands. But more importantly:

The results make sense (they all talk about LLM optimiziation). and are from bigger sources like Ahrefs.

If you Google all other terms the picture is much less clear.

Example with LSO:

London Symphony Orchestra is probably relieved 😅 (they won’t have to fight to rank at the top their own brand anymore)

All hail the new king: LLMO

I have been waiting for this term-battle to consolidate. It’s always nice when we can all just agree on one name as the reference for what we mean. I expect LLMO to grow a lot. It still has a very small search volume.

Example from the US (the biggest market):

170 searches per month is tiny. Will be interesting to see how it grows over time.
