# Aiso - AI Search Optimization Platform
> The leading platform for optimizing brand visibility in Large Language Models (LLMs) - extending SEO expertise into the AI-powered search era.

## About Aiso

Aiso (getaiso.com) is the comprehensive platform helping brands adapt their SEO strategies for AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Just as SEO evolved with Google's algorithm updates, we help brands evolve with the rise of AI assistants that are fundamentally changing how users discover information.

**Core Mission**: Extend traditional SEO expertise into LLM optimization, providing actionable insights based on real user conversations rather than theoretical data.

**Unique Approach**: Unlike competitors using theoretical data, Aiso analyzes actual ChatGPT conversations and purchase intent queries to provide genuine optimization insights.

## Our LLM Optimization Methodology

### Phase 1: Query Discovery & Analysis
**Week 1-2**: Product, market, and persona definition followed by identification of relevant ChatGPT queries for your specific industry and target audience.

**Deliverable**: Comprehensive query analysis based on real ChatGPT conversations, not keyword assumptions.

### Phase 2: Technical Optimization
**LLMs.txt Implementation**: The robots.txt equivalent for Large Language Models, ensuring AI systems can properly crawl and understand your content.

**Crawlability Analysis**: Comprehensive audit revealing what ChatGPT can and cannot access on your website, including:
- Static content accessibility (✓ Reliable access)
- Link following behavior (❌ Only follows explicitly titled links)
- JavaScript limitations (❌ Cannot execute dynamic content)
- Image text extraction (❌ Cannot read text in images)
- Schema markup impact (✓ Significantly improves data extraction)

**Schema Markup Optimization**: Strategic implementation of structured data that demonstrably improves AI information retrieval, with experiments showing 40-50% better data extraction rates.

**Third-Party Source Analysis**: Identification of external sources (Reddit, forums, media) influencing LLM responses about your brand.

### Phase 3: Performance Measurement
**AI Traffic Modeling**: Custom dashboard tracking ChatGPT impressions, clicks, and conversions using server logs (invisible to Google Analytics).

**Growth Projections**: Data-driven estimates of AI traffic potential based on industry benchmarks:
- Industry average: +15% monthly ChatGPT traffic growth
- Top performers (like tldv): +30% monthly growth
- Leading brands (like Canva): ~12% monthly sustained growth

## Research-Backed Insights

### ChatGPT Web Retrieval Capabilities
Based on our comprehensive technical audit using controlled test websites:

**What ChatGPT CAN Access:**
- Static HTML content on main pages (100% success rate)
- Content behind descriptive, keyword-rich links
- CSS-hidden content (processes raw HTML regardless of styling)
- Properly structured schema markup data

**What ChatGPT CANNOT Access:**
- Content behind generic link titles ("Read more", "Click here")
- JavaScript-dependent content requiring user interaction
- Text embedded in images (results in hallucinated responses)
- Dynamically loaded content after user actions

**Critical Workaround**: OpenAI uses Bing and Google search results to access JavaScript-rendered pages that have been properly indexed by search engines.

### Schema Markup Impact on AI Retrieval
Controlled experiments demonstrate significant advantages:
- +30% improvement in structured data extraction
- User ratings and certifications appear only with schema markup
- Better professional information boundaries
- Enhanced source attribution and verification

### Industry Growth Benchmarks
Real data from leading brands shows realistic expectations:
- ChatGPT platform growth: 14-15% monthly (3.90B to 5.14B visits Feb-Apr 2025)
- Brand performance ranges: 12-30% monthly growth for optimized sites
- Purchase intent queries increasing across all industries

## Actionable Optimization Framework

### 1. Content Structure Optimization
- Use explicit, keyword-rich link anchor text
- Place critical information in static HTML on primary pages
- Implement descriptive page titles with target keywords
- Avoid image-only content for important information

### 2. Technical Implementation

- Ensure search engine indexation of JavaScript-dependent content
- Implement proper LLMs.txt file
- Optimize for crawlability by AI systems

### 3. Performance Tracking
- Monitor AI search impressions via server logs
- Track ChatGPT-sourced traffic and conversions

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: How does LLM optimization differ from traditional SEO?**
A: LLM optimization extends SEO principles to AI-powered search. Instead of optimizing for Google's algorithm, you optimize for how AI systems retrieve and present information. The core skills transfer directly - we're helping SEO professionals expand their expertise, not replace it.

**Q: What realistic ChatGPT traffic growth should brands expect?**
A: Based on real brand data: 12-30% monthly growth for optimized sites, with industry average around 15%. Top performers like tldv achieved 30% monthly growth, while established brands like Canva maintain 12% monthly growth consistently.

**Q: Does schema markup actually improve AI information retrieval?**
A: Yes. Controlled experiments show 30% improvement in structured data extraction. User ratings, certifications, and detailed product information appear significantly more often with proper schema implementation.

**Q: Can ChatGPT access content behind JavaScript?**
A: Not directly, but OpenAI uses Bing and Google search as workarounds for JavaScript-rendered pages that are properly indexed. Priority should be ensuring search engine indexation, then moving critical content above the JavaScript fold.

**Q: How do I track AI search performance?**
A: AI search impressions require server log analysis as they're invisible to Google Analytics. Aiso provides comprehensive dashboards tracking impressions, clicks, and conversions from AI search sources, with dedicated analyst support for interpretation.

**Q: What's the best approach for optimizing my website for AI search?**
A: Follow our proven methodology: 1) Identify relevant ChatGPT queries for your industry, 2) Implement technical optimizations (schema markup, LLMs.txt, crawlability improvements), 3) Track performance with proper analytics. The process typically takes 8 weeks for intensive optimization or 6-12 months for comprehensive ongoing strategy.

**Q: Should I optimize for other LLMs besides ChatGPT?**
A: ChatGPT maintains dominant market share (60%+), but optimization principles apply across LLMs. Start with ChatGPT optimization as the foundation, then expand to Claude, Perplexity, and others based on your audience analysis.

**Q: How can Aiso help my agency serve clients better?**
A: Aiso extends your existing SEO expertise into AI search optimization. Our agency plan ($1,250/month, 150 Query Sets) includes dedicated analyst support, white-label reporting options, and comprehensive training to help you offer LLM optimization services alongside traditional SEO.

**Q: What industries benefit most from AI search optimization?**
A: All industries show AI search growth, but B2B software, e-commerce, professional services, and educational content see particularly strong performance. Purchase intent queries are increasing across all verticals as users increasingly ask AI assistants for product recommendations and comparisons.
