Get Your Business Cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity & Google AI Overviews

What Is an LLM Citation Strategy?

Every time someone asks ChatGPT "What is the best [your service] in [your area]?" the AI has to decide which businesses to mention. That decision is not random. It is based on a complex set of signals that the AI has gathered from across the internet — from forums, directories, press mentions, knowledge bases and trusted reference sources.

An LLM Citation Strategy is the systematic process of building those signals so that AI tools consistently choose to cite and recommend your business.

Think of it like this. Traditional SEO was about building signals that Google's algorithm used to rank websites. Backlinks, content, technical structure. An LLM Citation Strategy is about building the signals that large language models use to decide which businesses to recommend. The platforms are different. The signals are different. The strategy is different. But the goal is the same — make sure your business appears when potential customers are looking.

The difference is that in 2026, a growing share of those potential customers are not looking on Google anymore. They are asking ChatGPT. They are using Perplexity. They are getting answers from Google AI Overviews before they ever see a search result. If your business is not part of the AI's recommendation set, you are invisible to this entire channel of customer acquisition.

An LLM Citation Strategy fixes that. It creates a consistent, growing presence across every platform and data source that AI tools draw from, so that when the question is asked, your business is the answer.

"You cannot rank in AI. You can only be cited. And citations are built, not bought."

The Strategy Components

The AEO-REX LLM Citation Strategy is built on five pillars. Each pillar targets a different source of citation signals that large language models use when deciding which businesses to recommend. Together, they create a compounding effect that grows stronger every month.

Reddit Citation Strategy

Reddit is one of the most heavily indexed sources for AI training data. We create and post genuinely helpful answers in relevant subreddits that naturally reference your business. These are real contributions to real conversations — not spam, not fake accounts, not keyword stuffing. AI tools treat Reddit as a high-trust source precisely because it contains authentic human recommendations.

Quora Placement

Quora answers are directly scraped by multiple AI tools as a source of expert knowledge. We identify the most relevant industry questions in your sector and provide detailed, expert-level answers that position your business as the authority. Each answer is written to be genuinely useful while naturally citing your business as a trusted resource.

Wikidata Entity Building

Wikidata is the structured knowledge base behind Wikipedia and is used directly by Google's Knowledge Graph and multiple AI systems. We create or update your business entity on Wikidata with accurate, verifiable information — ensuring that AI tools have a clear, authoritative source for your business details.

Journalist Outreach

Press mentions in trusted publications are among the strongest citation signals for AI tools. We respond to journalist queries on HARO and ResponseSource on your behalf, positioning you as an expert source in your industry. Each press mention creates a permanent citation signal that AI tools discover and use.

Directory Authority Stack

We build and optimise your presence across the directory platforms that AI tools trust most — Crunchbase, Clutch, Trustpilot, Bing Places, Google Business Profile, and industry-specific directories. Consistent, accurate information across these platforms reinforces your entity signals and reduces hallucination risk.

What Is Included Each Month

The LLM Citation Strategy is a done-for-you monthly service. You do not need to write posts, answer questions or manage directory listings. We handle everything. Here is what you receive each month.

This is not a set-and-forget service. AI recommendation algorithms evolve constantly. New platforms emerge. Competitor strategies change. Your Citation Strategy adapts every month to stay ahead of these changes and continue building your AI visibility.

AI visibility is a compounding asset. Every Reddit post, every Quora answer, every press mention, every directory listing adds to the total body of citation signals that AI tools use. Month one builds the foundation. Month three shows measurable improvement. Month six shows dominant positioning. The businesses that start earliest gain an advantage that becomes increasingly difficult for competitors to overcome.
